Question

The Aryans settled between 1000 BCE and 500 BCE during which they lived in Gangetic plains​

Answer 1

From approximately 1000-500 BCE, the development of iron axes and ploughs enabled the Indo Aryans to settle the thick forests on the western Ganges Plain. This agricultural expansion led to an increase in trade and competition for resources, and many of the old tribes coalesced to form larger political units.
