I'm sure some people came from India but early on people were moving all over Central Asia(Turkestan, Iran, Siberia, Mongolia), plus nomadism was common from the Stepps to Frisia. People may have moved here and there, though I doubt there was some Aryan race from which the warrior cultures stemmed. Especially since so many of those labeled as descendents of Aryans were those fighting each other, sometimes for land settled centuries before.
You're confusing several things there.
- Aryans peoples and Aryan race : the former is an historiographical concept about a possible Central Asian branch of Indo-European peoples that migrated in Persia and Indias, eventually merging with the natives.
The latter is a political racist concept loosely and superficially based on the former and having nothing to do when it comes to actual definition. (And while it was probably not your intent, mixing both can be seen as a bit of intellectual dishonesty).
- Nobody in this thread actually used the term "warrior culture". It is a possibility that the Ayran migrations took the form of invasions sometimes and that the result evolved into a ruling elite identifying itself with the invaders (as Gallo-Romans ended by identifying themselves as Franks when clearly, they weren't ethnic germans). More war-like could be a better formulation, as it's true they seems to had advantage on other peoples on this regard.
- You had so many wars between, say, France and Spain; or Poland and Russia. Does that mean that the firsts aren't related culturally, or ethnically for the former? Infighting is not a critera for "Nope, they aren't related" : family feuds are the best cause of wars.
