6:00 Dude, stop. You yourself know that most people treat the invasion and migration theory as interchangeable and the main difference being how much emphasis is placed on whatever violence may or may not have happened.
8:48 Some dude had to write a paper sometime ago arguing against a historical theory that got popular that the Indus Valley Civilization was proto-Communist (AKA the ideal by many people today)
8:53 Unknown but when a langauge is proposed, it is almost always proto-dravidian. Several Papers support this.
9:30 Like fine, Indo-Aryans are said to be Central Asian but the current theory that isn't "We don't know" Is Proto-Indo-Europeans from Ukraine(Europe) the culture before Sintasha from Eastern Europe's Corded Ware(Due to not only Proto-Indo-European steppe DNA but also Eastern European Hunter Gatherer DNA in Northern India), so yeah, the theory that these people were basically Proto-European(Not exactly the same as European but close enough) is the main one. But fine, the theory now is that yes, it collapsed not invaded but... soon after its collapse Indo-Aryans took over.
10:09 it being based on profession doesn't completely remove that it correlated with skin colour, after all, if the Indo-Aryans were disproportionately warriors like many later steppe peoples then the warriors would be disproportionately the skin colour of the Indo Aryans not of the Dravidians.
11:12 They only really differ in degrees not in essential qualities. Well, except for how Indus Valley Civilization ended.
21:28 While the Genocide claim might be easy to argued against from that, the invasion/conquest argument cannot really be argued against from that alone. Because "Peaceful with only periodic violence" argument could be made for the Malian, Mongol, Roman and Chinese conquests and more.
Also, From what I know the other people that say there was a genocide or something close enough to that more look to Britain, France and Germany for the area it occurred, tho large scale killing in the East isn't entirely ruled out.
