Good column. Not long before WW2, J.R.R. Tolkien was asked by a German publisher if he was Aryan. Bet they wish they hadn’t asked: One Eternal Day: Tolkien on anti-Semitism
What about Iran/Iranians? Doesn’t Iran mean Land of the Aryans?
Yes, “Iran” means “Land of the Aryans”. “Aryan” also survived in Sanskrit as the name of the top-drawer Hindus.
Aryan is a big deal in India. My father went to an Arya Samaj (Aryan people) school in India
There were Aryans …long back in past …the greatest of all races …the greatest of all religions …n sciences…!!
Its true that once upon a time the great Aryan race was present in its original state and super-conscious awareness and infinite knowledge. You want to know more, do write me up - i will explain by history, by religion, by induction…!!
We don’t normally object to bumping old threads in the Comments forums, provided something substantive and relevant to the previous posts is added. I’ll close this thread and direct further comment on the gr8ness of Aryans to other forums.
