The first non-Dravidian people to have migrated to the Indian peninsula, most likely coming from Central Asia.
I think it was by King Alexander in 326 BC.

The Indus valley civilization map and the DNA Haplogroup L do match the map of modern Pakistan. Clearly shows genetic continuity of ancient and modern Pakistanis.

No, Vedic people arrived way before 326 B.C.
Vedic people are those who are aware of Vedas and those are Indian people.
Call them whatever you want. I was explaining who the IVC were to some other guy and how they are different from the Vedic people who arrived later, because many tend to confuse the two.

Vedic people are Indian people. Why to call them whatever anyone wants ?
Not sure I follow this. The Indo-Aryan migration and the rig veda have their roots in modern day Turkmenistan and a proto Indo-Iranian religion. The Avesta, which is the religious book of the Parsis, has several phrases which sound similar to those in the vedas.
I want to avoid this argument. I am talking from a historical point of view - I have no interest in the politics of names.
The hymns of Rig Veda talks on Lord RAMA, Ayodhya is in India and the 14 years which He spend in exile was in India.
Avesta and Rig Vedas do have similarity and that similarity we can further see in Abrahamic religion. I think the Oldest known religious book are Rig Vedas
Vedas are still seen in Indian culture and traditions.
It's just that we have chosen to call these early migrants "Vedic people" because they brought the Vedic culture to this region. Over the next few thousand years, this culture absorbed elements from the local Dravidian people to become the culture you are so familiar with, the one you call "Indian culture." Off-topic, but interesting to note: the Islamic culture too underwent similar changes in India and transformed into local variants of Islam.

You mean oldest existing. Wouldn't it be interesting if we discovered a common precursor to the Vedas and the Zorostrian scriptures? One that both borrow ideas from? As for Abrahamic religions, I heard, and not sure how authentic the source is, the Jewish people borrowed tons of ideas from neighboring, now extinct, civilizations.
