What? I said nothing about military supremacy, nor do I believe that
to have been the case. Rather, I was merely talking about
demographic pressure. From what I've read, it does not seem like
there was any kind of large-scale military invasion of India.
However, that does not mean that there weren't migrations of some
sort.
