AHC Western Nomads Go East

Historically, Europe has been fraught with migrations coming in from the East. Wether it be the Scythians, Sarmatians, Huns, Alans, Avars, Magyars, Bulgars, Turks, or Mongols, there has been a huge precedent for nomadic groups to travel westward along the steppe into Europe.

But how could we reverse this? To my knowledge the last huge eastward migration along the steppes was the Indo-Europeans who moved into Iran and India. One could possibly argue the Russians did so.

So your challenge is to between the years of 2000 B.C. and 1300 A.D. to create a culture birthed in either Europe, the Near East, North Africa, or the Middle East that is nomadic and migrates East toward China or India.
 
Apparently there's a tendency for nomadic tribes to migrate Westwards, as they are following the path of the Sun across the sky.
 
Well, the Huns also attacked China for some time. Apparently, when China became too strong, they turned west, and caused the völkerwanderung.
 
Central Asia and Mongolia was a natural breeding ground for the nomadic lifestyle. The climate did not favor agriculture, but there was plenty of grass for cattle and horses. It was totally flat and offered no natural obstacle for a man with ambition. The landscape has a powerful effect on the psyche. People in mountainous areas are more parochial. This valley is mine, people in that valley are different, and so on. On the steppes it's natural to want to ride to the end of the world. You got a horse, you didn't have TV, so what else where you going to do?

The condition in Europe was quite different. There was plenty of arable land, mountains and rivers made natural barriers. Trade by sea made much more sense than massive over land caravans. It was natural to settle on rivers and build cities.
 
The closest I can think of is the Vikings settling along the Russian rivers. The Germans also colonised eastward during the middle ages, if that counts.

The main difference is that the steppe nomads are totally nomadic and militarily very powerful, and when they push the ripples go a long way.

IOTL the Arabs spread east very rapidly.
