When the Aryans first entered India, their first colony was saptasindhu, "the land of the seven rivers," which is nowadays known as the Punjab. The seven rivers are: Shatadru (Sutlej in English), Ira'vatii (Ravi), Vipa'sha' (Bia's), Chandrabhaga' (Chenub), Vitasta' (Jhalu'm), Sindus (Indus), and Kabul. Then the Aryans advanced up to the Jamuna river, that is, up to Haraya'na' (Haritdha'nya -- Hariyaha'nna -- Hariyaha'nna--Hariha'na). In the third stage the Aryans moved to Praya'ga (Pra means well or ideal, and ya'ga means action ; so Praya'ga means a place where all kinds of activities are properly performed. Thereafter the Aryans reached Ka'shi (Benares); the last colony of the Aryans was Ka'shi. The original inhabitants of this area were mainly Austriks, but there were some Mongolians and Aryans also. So the ancient inhabitants of Kashi as a whole were Arya-Austriko-Mongoloids.

One thing that should be remembered is that in this universe nothing is useless or meaningless. Each word, each existence has a certain meaning; perhaps that meaning is not known to you, but whether you know it or not, there is a meaning. Take for example the colour white. You see white colour with your eyes; the vibration of this colour enters your brain, and there this vibration emits a sound wave, "dhab, dhab, dhab." From this sound came the Sam'skrta' root verb dhav, and from this root verb came words like dhavala ("white" in Sam'skrta) and dhavla' ("white" in Hindi). So you see, from a particular acoustic vibration has evolved a word with a particular meaning.
