□ the indo - european language group originated in or near northern india.
□ some aryans migrated south through the hindu kush mountain range over many centuries.
□ various groups from inside and outside of india formed the indo - aryan society.

Explanation:

The Indo - Aryan theory generally posits migrations of Indo - European speaking people into India. Statements that suggest different origins or formation processes are alternative theories. The first statement about nomadic peoples from southern India migrating into the Indus Valley and the second statement about the Indo - European language group originating in or near northern India offer different origin scenarios. The third statement is in line with the traditional Indo - Aryan migration theory and the fourth is a common view of how Indo - Aryan society was formed rather than an alternative.

Answer:

• Nomadic peoples migrated from southern India into the Indus Valley.
• The Indo - European language group originated in or near northern India.
