War of Aryans
The enigmatic Aryans, subdivided into two groups, had waged fierce battles against several adversaries.
Conflict between Aryans and Non-Aryans
Aryans also had to fight against the Non-Aryans, whom they called Dasa, Dasyu, Asura, Pisacha, and Rakshasa. According to Dr. R. K. Mookerjee, "The Non-Aryans of the Rigveda were a well-organised people" and that "the overthrow of the black-skin was by no means an easy job for the Aryans". The names of some of the Non-Aryan chiefs were Llibisa, Dhuni, Chumuri, Piru, Varchin and Sambara. Med was a mighty Non-Aryan king. The Aryan king Sudas conquered him. Slowly and steadily, on account of their superior-trained armies and commanding cavalry, the Aryans occupied the whole region of the Non-Aryans.
