I think all of the events on my timeline affect each other. The effects the Aryan Invasion has on Indus Valley Civilization is for the Indus Valley people to follow the new things the Aryans introduce. For example, the Aryans introduce the Caste system to Indus Valley so then the people must follow the Caste system. The Aryan Invasion and how the Aryans introduced new things to India impact Buddha. I say this because the Aryan idea's impact Buddha to not add them into his teachings, and Buddhism.
