the society that had the horse would have been about like 19th century european imperials running amok over asia and africa with guns and trains and all the accoutrements of the 1st industrial revolution.

There's a politically correct drive on in India to deny there ever was an Aryan invasion, which is of course a strictly nationalist tendency found in plenty of places besides India. If there never was such an invasion (despite the ancient documentation in the ancient texts of India itself; I've had someone actually argue the other side of that one), then the Indus Valley civilization must have been of Hindu origin. What are the alternatives? The Dravidians in southern India and Sri Lanka (Sri Lanka has its own megalithic architecture and ancient civil engineering) are descended from the builders of that civilization? :') The hits just keep on comin'.
