Well here's something new! Do you have any evidence for such an
invasion? The sole evidence of any influence on Indo-Aryan from
Caucasian, as far as I know, is the suggested Caucasian origin of
Indra, but which I thought was supposed to have happened outside
of India, well before the Indo-Aryans arrived there.

You also forgot to mention the arrival of those very Indo-Aryans
in India, or was that an intentional omission?
