Indo Aryan Legacy in History

In which lands did the Indo Aryans originate from? Some scholars  say that they came from either Turanian lands or Bactrian land.Legend has it they were enemies of the Avesta and Zoroastrianism religious states. They possessed knowledge of the Avesta teachings and when they arrived  in Indiathey combined it with the teachings of the Vedics.

India had a system of republics before the arrival of the Indo Aryans, it remained a system of republics even when  Alexander the Great arrived with his Greco-Macedonian philosphy.They were a peaceful people in most regions and when they Aryans invaded the Indians territory they did not contrive to battle being they were already entrecnhed in peacefulness and serenity.There the Buddhist practices where entrenched in life. Some Aryans descendants  became the Brahmin.Gautama Buddha had looked at the Brahmins with distrust and contempt.They actually corrupted the ancient Sanskrit teachings and eventually molded into Hindu.

When they arrived in India they immediately imposed the Caste system and were for some reason able to subdue the inhabitants there,with out much problems from the Rajas. They all of a sudden vanished from India and history.

Alot of scholars and archaeologist  say they went to back to the Steppes and mid Persia. It is believed they went to Scandavia and Other Nordic Lands. Why didn't they just go straight to Western Europe? Did they muster up in their tribes in Persia and Nordic Europe to eventually become the Gemranic Tribes and invade Europe? And were the Aryans feared among other Indo European tribes Steppe tribes?
