The Aryan Invasion Theory holds that Indo-Iranian languages and people entered Pakistan and Northwest India from the west around 1500 BC, bringing with them the horse, the chariot, the caste system and the Indo-Iranian pantheon.
Unfortunately for the supporters of this theory, bones of the true domestic horse have been identified by biologist Sandor Bokonyi from pre-Indus and Indus sites in Pakistan and India. A copper chariot from an Indus dig is on display in Pakistan. Toy ceramic horses, distinguishable from donkeys by their small ears and long legs and necks, have been found in Indus sites in Pakistan by some of the first archeologists to excavate Indus sites.
Moreover, the human DNA evidence from South Asia indicates that almost all maternal lineages (mtDNA haplotypes) common in North India, the Near and Far East, and Europe, originated in South India. The ancestral South Indian population has been there, in South India, since 60,000 BC. See the Wikipedia article 'Archeogenetics of South Asia' for more about this.
The Indus sign list that I have been using since 2010 to decipher Indus seals and inscriptions is derived from comparison to Brahmi script and the few known signs of Linear Elamite script, a writing system of ancient Iran contemporary with Indus script, which resembles it strongly. The deciphered seals did not yield Dravidian names and titles, much to my surprise. Instead, there were names such as Mani and Ravi, and the word 'namana,' which is Sanskrit or Prakrit for 'greetings.' A few seals did have Tamil names on them, an indication of trade and travel between the north and south, and the discovery of gold from Kolar mine in Karnataka, south India, in Indus sites, is another strong indication of contact between the IVC and south India. The Indus inscriptions in Edakkal cave in Kerala, south India, are likewise evidence of contact between the IVC and the south Indians.
So, there wasn't an invasion into India/Pakistan in 1500 BC by Indo-Iranian people. They were already there, and were in fact indigenous to India. The Dravidian-speaking people (Brahui) who live in Pakistan migrated there from the south around 1000 AD, according to linguistic research, much too late to be a relict of the Indus valley civilization.
If the Indus Valley Civilization is not mentioned in the Vedas, it could be because the Vedas are older. And this would make the Vedas very old indeed, because the IVC sites of Bhirrana and Rakhigarhi date back to at least 7380 BCE.
