Both in India and in Europe, the Indo-European-language speakers were the last migrants significant enough to change the demography. India has seen multiple incursions since then – from Alexander’s army in 326 bce to the Sakas or the Scythians around 150 bce, the Huns around 450 ce, the Arabs in 710 ce, the Mughals in 1526 ce, and then the Portuguese, the French, the Dutch and the British – but none of them have left more than a delicate and small impression on our demography, although their impact on our culture has often been bigger.
