Well,this is how much we can say as of now.
The large numbers of Upper Castes is actually more related to West Eurasian Genetic combinations. Recent researches have reinforced that so no dispute.
Indo-Aryans came in waves after waves into India after first becoming a distinct ethnicity somewhere around Khwarazem or Bactria(we don't know this yet. Not established). The Mitanni Aryans seem to have used the Caspain coast to Anatolia and the first Indo-Aryan languages have similarity to Avestan. Based on that we could calculate the origin at somewhere in the range of West Central Asia to Bactria region.
The separation between Iranian,Indo-Aryan and Nuristani peoples is not clear.
As some articles say,the mixing started during an upheavel and suddenly ended after around a millennium and a half. This is said to be the era when Caste started to become more rigid.
Dasa is a word frequently used in the early Vedic scriptures. Who is it directed to is still a matter of debate though popular opinion points that it is towards the Non Indo-European natives present then. We don't even clearly know how they looked,what exactly they spoke and what happened to them after the Indo-Aryans though it is still in possibilities only.
Scythians,Greeks,Huna,Tocharians were known as the migrants to India and we're all allotted the Kshatriya status after some time. However,such assimilations ended after the by the Islamic era.
Somewhere between these eras,the caste system seems to have begun.
Lastly,South Asia is really mysterious and interesting in terms of Genetics. Hard to say anything at all for sure about this. Let's see till more advanced methods of testing come.
