@Pusan, by DNA, every single Indo-European is descended from a Punjabi R1A, SLC24A5
The more simpler possibility is that Vedic Sanskrit is not the root but a branch very very close to the root, and
when the IE migration happened out of Punjab at 4000 bc, the language extant at that time was Indo-Hittite-European
and the earliest split is between Hittite and Indo-European languages
DNA shows virtually no back-migration from central asia from 6000 bc
