Article summary: there were two major migrations:

7,000 BC: agriculturalists from what is now Iran and Turkey spread east into India and west into Europe.

3,000 BC: pastoralists (herders of cattle and sheep) spread from the steppes of Russia to both India and Europe.

"3,000 BC: pastoralists (herders of cattle and sheep) spread from the steppes of Russia to both India and Europe."

Could this population also have included peoples from the far East with East Asian origins as well as peoples from the Aryan race?

The agriculturalists in 7000 BC were also ancestors fo the Sumerians and Elamites -- so we have the Sumerian-Dravidian language continuum. Tamils are the "pure blood" (well mostly) relatives of the sumerians

Indians of today are the result of the merging of Aryans and Dravidians -- while the Aryans kept the priesthood for themselves, they did incorporate the agriculturalists and to some extent the warrior/ruling classes into their castes
