But all these people were in a minority where they established and according to your theory, the Western people moving Eastward would have been in a majority but still they adopted foreign language and culture instead of imposing their own? Which implies the Western people would have been subjugated by Aryans even though the latter were the "invaders", like in the Aryans spreading Westward from the East theory.

Please, clear this point for me.

I don't know much about the said "Aryan" invasion, very interesting theory, anyhow.
