Oh sorry, I misundertood you, sorry.

I speak a non-indoeuropean language and an indoeuropean one, and I don´t find any notable difference in native speakers of one or other language so I feel close to both.

Basque?

90% of them are Indoeuropeans, so nothing strage

I think it would be crazy if I would "feel closer" to group of people just because of language they speak, so my answer is neither

of course a Romanian should feel closer to a Hungarian than to a Dutch or Italian

Hinduism has deviated from it's Aryan roots like a long time ago. Vedic Hinduism had Indra as the king of the gods, the top god in the pantheon akin to his counterparts, Zeus and Odin. Presently, post-Vedic Hinduism has him as a minor deity and instead promoted Shiva a dravidian god to the top of the pantheon alongside Vishnu and Brahma.

I practice the Ancient Vedism, bases in the worship to the holy trinity formed by Indra, Varuna and Aryaman. I reject Shivaism, Vaishnavism, Krishnaism and all modern Hindu variations.

I think aryans had more of an interaction than an invasion. Cuz with an invasion it is highly unlikely to have such a fusion of languages culture and traditions.

I feel closer to Hungarians than to other Slavs for example.

Really? There are tons of Romanians in Italy and they seem to like Italian culture very much, unsuprisingly if we look at history.

they may like it, but it's radically different. they adapt easily because of language alone

Your language has had major influences by dravidic languages , and your religion closer to Norse mythology than to Dravidian creeds? Really? Where is your evidence for that?

You are significantly closer to Dravidians genetically and physically , not to mention your ancestors inhabited the same plains within the Indian sub continent. You scream OWD. But welcome my friend .

Edit :

The linguistic evidence for Dravidian impact grows increasingly strong as we move from the Samhitas down through the later Vedic works and into the classical post-Vedic literature.[6] This represents an early religious and cultural fusion[7][note 1] or synthesis[9] between ancient Dravidians and Indo-Aryans that went on to influence Indian civilization.[10][8][11][12]

Fyi, you are not pure Indo Aryan .

If anything , it's the kalash people who should present the same arguments that you have since their religion was a early form of vedic before the migration to the Indian sub continent which merged with dravidan folk religion to create modern day Hinduism .

Indians are the only Indo-European today with an Indo-European religion (yeah it is mixed with local and other traditons but the core is Indo-European). Also you still have Brahmins performing Aryan rituals of steppe/Vedic origin in 2021 and no Kalash religion is not Vedism it is not even very similar to it. Show me other Indo-European with as much as preserved rituals, liturgy and gods of Indo-European origin.

I've been several times to Hungary and while I had a good time there and found Budapest to be an impressive city, I didn't feel much connection to the place. Hungarians are more like other Central Europeans in character.
