Arnaud is a joke.
Mittanis and Kassites were definitely from India and tellingly formed a special relationship with the Hittites. No other group (least of all greeks/germanics/"slavs"/etc) is associated intimately with the Hittites except these Indics.
While The Pontic Sindoi (referred as Sindoi ethnos Indikon) flanked the Northern coast of the Black Sea.
Together these had an effect of securing the Western zone.
Concerning Greater India, there were no equivalents to the the Mongol hordes which plagued China: Nichols has acknowledged this with regards to the so-called Tokharians, that they were not barbaric-type mobile. Nichols is contemplating a U-turn under pressure from Witzel, but cannot backtrack significantly because of such issues.
With Yavanas proved as originating from interior India and different from the Greeks Proto-monotheists, it is also certain that the Panca Gana (Sakas, Pahlavas, Kambojas, Paradas, Yavanas) were from the interior; that is , they are not refernced in Dasarajana with the Iranian propers. These names are actually preserved in both Punjab and further interior eg Kanojia, Sakaldiha, etc. Relations were maintained with kinsmen who migrated out and the connections were known... "Degraded Kshatriyas" actually refers those that migrated out.
The concept of tribe does not apply to india.
