Arya just means noble, like the English word Sir. India was called Aryavrat -- the land of gentiles. The name of Iran is a corruption of the word Aryan. When Indus valley dried up and people dispersed, they went in both directions -- to India and to Iran. THat is how the Indian and European languages became linked.
THe people who migrated to Europe founded the pagan (Celtic) civilisations there. The Brahmins became Druids (from sanskrti word Dravid -- druv -- liquid, vidya -- knowledge, thus "immersed in knowledge.") That is why Druidic rituals are similar to Hindus, like worshipping sacred groves and sun and ritual bathing in the river.
However, to admit this would mean that foundations of European civlisation have Indian origins. So all this drama about shoving this theory down our throats that it is actually Europeans (allegded Aryans) who came to India and taught us how to read and write. This is the 19th-century politics behind AIT. Now that AIT has been discarded, it is not long before it is accepted that the migration was from INdia to Europe, otherwise there is no explanation for similar languages or why Iliad and Odyssey have similar plots to Ramayan and Mahabharata.
These White historians are just trying to fudge the issue by canards and delay the inevitable.
I know Arya means noble, I said there can be only two words, Arya and Airya in the context of Sanatana Dharma and Zoroastrianism. The word Aryan itself is a misnomer to begin with because it was a name given to the hypothetical group of peoples assumed to speak PIE.
The word Aryan itself in its absolute sense was created to create the Racial profiling and link the world with Noah et al.
AIT is so dis-regarded that it is being replaced by AMT, the Western indologists are trying very hard to prove AMT, while AMT did happened it was not from the Central Asian steppes rather a climatic shift causing back and forth movement. Simply put It is impossible to prove/imagine that Bronze age was spread in India through the IE peoples.
