Hate to tell you but the truth is racist. Yes, a lighter more advanced class of people invaded northern India and ruled as the elite members of a caste system; and the majority of northern India's upper classes are lighter than the lower classes unto this very day.

In 3000 years of Iran history, it was always used as “aryan people” or “aryan lineage” and other ethnic groups like Turks are referred to as “Aniran” meaning non-aryan, but now these guys claim it has nothing to do with race….

Irony: one of the ethnic groups persecuted, and murdered by the supposedly "pure Aryan" Natzis were the Romani aka "Gypsies", who were actually an lndo-Aryan group.

The word āryan is often found in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain texts. In the Indian spiritual context, it can be applied to Rishis or to someone who has mastered the four noble truths and entered upon the spiritual path.

Seems like almost everyone here in the comments is an "expert" on Aryans.

Ancient Iranians( Persians) also called their language( Old Persian) "Arya"

This is precisely why I believe Ancient history is so vital in our elementary schools, and should be presented in depth, and not simply skipped over in one or two chapters (paragraphs). Young people want and need to know who they are, and where they came from, and, that they all have value. And "Value" is not dictated by skin color.

The title of the video is a little misleading, it was more about the debunking of aryan invasion and the unfortunate marring of the study of aryans by 20th C race politics. There is however a lot that wasn’t discussed, like the actual evidence of Aryan origins and migration, since they did actually exist. Didn’t talk about linguistic origins and data. And then at the end made the suggestion that everyone can be aryan regardless of skin colour. That seems silly to me, why do people need to be called aryan to be considered noble or civilised or cultured? I got so confused at that point and started to think this was actually more a polemic in favour of a certain political position, especially given the misleading title. Bit of a shame because the aryans are such an interesting and influential group.

The word Arya is used in Vasistha Dharma Sutras as follows: The country of the Âryas (Âryâvarta) lies to the east of the region where (the river Sarasvatî) disappears, to the west of the Black-forest, to the north of the Pâripâtra (mountains), to the south of the Himâlaya. 8 (According to others it lies to the south of the Himâlaya) and to the north of the Vindhya range (being limited east and west by the two oceans). 9 Acts productive of spiritual merit, and customs which (are approved of) in that country, must be everywhere acknowledged (as authoritative); But not different ones, (i.e. those) of (countries where) laws opposed (to those of Âryâvarta prevail). Some (declare the country of the Âryas to be situated) between the (rivers) Gaṅgâ and Yamunâ. These texts clearly indicates that the Aryavarta exist in only in India between the Himalayas and Vindhyachal mountains and they no where mentions about facial features or anything whether they rely on the fact Arya is a person of high spiritual merit pure who performs certain rituals which other people don't as u can see 2.103. But he who does not (worship) standing in the morning, nor sitting in the evening, shall be excluded, just like a Sudra, from all the duties and rights of an Aryan

Thank you so much for sharing this information in such a lovely pictorial presentation.

Love indians so much from Persia ❤❤❤❤❤❤

As a linguist it’s a far fetched idea to described the Arians and protoarians as a non ethnic group, and only a some kind of ‘noble people’ with no common or cultural traits. The effort of culturally neutralize the idea of an Aryan people is more a reflection of your own projections on culture based on the result of the distorsión of these ideas in Europe in the last two centuries. There is no relation between the historical Aryans and your own ideas of race and culture.

Ethnic empowerment is a strange subject. Its seen as good when the subject ethnicity is on the bottom of the social hierarchy, but bad when the subject is at the top.

Learning all this later in life,would have been very nice to have learned this earlier when I was younger and teach others to get along with each other.We are more related than we think we are.

the aryan settlers pretty clearly subjugated the people and were distinct in appearence and the colorism in india is deeply engrained in the caste system to this day so i dont see how its not ethnic or racial. that claim seems politically motivated.

This is a very well made presentation on the subject. Thank you. The illustrations used to show Harappan civilisation were impressive. Can you please mention the sources of these illustrations ? I want to read further on them. Thank you.

Aryan was used to refer to Sanskrit speaking upper-caste Hindu and Buddhists in India There certainly was some ethnic implications however later the term was used to imply Indianized people as civilized as opposed to Mlecchas the barbarians

2:00 minutes in and there’s already a few in accuracies. A little more and this video is not about origins but about racism, not Aryans and does nothing to shed light on history. When saying myth, it’s clear this a political video, not a historical video of origins. It’s all about twentieth century racist theory.

This is your best todate - and most important. Thank you very, very much.

The thing with the term "invasion" is that due to the sheer numbers of modern populations what we think of as invasions are dramatically different from what they would have been back 4000 years ago. What seems to be agreed upon in this is that groups of people from modern day Iran came down into modern day India. Due to the numbers of humans back then it certainly wasn't some systematic thing where one great nation conquered another, but when tribes move into new areas archeology shows us that usually one group beats up the other and then those who survive any conflict that occured merge together. We also know that the chariot is a weapon of war back in ancient times and it only appears in india after this aryan migration. Point being, during this migration there was likely conflict between the settled culture and the migratory one after which the two peoples became one. Now is this an "invasion" in the way we think of the term today? no, probably not, but in a historical context of a few tribes warring over territory then maybe it was.

Very well presented the best I have heard till now. Will be nice if you can continue on this by discussion on 1) Rig Veda talks about REGIONS ONLY within Asia mainly India, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan 2) Was any Sanskrit like alphabhets used outside Indian subcontinent?(not words) 3) What percentage of migration took place into India ? 4) Who will the migrants into India call a Arya the Mohinjidaro people who were settled down so well with all knowlege of food, archtecture and what not or themselves 5) Any books outside matching Rig Veda. 7) All New Arch. discoveries in TamilNadu,North India

Your obsession with race has unfortunately clouded your work. You spent the entire video doing that of which you claim to denounce. Please try to remove your saw bias and speak the truth. History is so sickeningly political.

I'm very disappointed in author of this video. He's definatly trying to be as politically correct as possible....shame.

Aryan is a ethnic label used to classify ruling class light skinned people in India. the word itself means pure, and this purity is used to oppress and discriminate the so called impure dark skinned people for 5000 years. where more people than Europe, middle East, Central Asia combined lived and oppressed in India, some how the author is ignorant of this. even though he is obsessed with Sanskrit.

Indo-European aren't Aryan but Aryan peaple are Indo-European. Aryan or Arya/Aria(Iranain version) is self identity and nationality of Iranian peaple. Iran/Eran=ir/er+an (plural suffix) Aniran( a persian word )means non- Iranian(non-arya ).this word used for other non- iranian people included Greek,Roman,turk,Arab... Even ancient Europeans didn't self identify themselves as arya/aria or aryan, eg, greek. Herodotus wrote: Persian people self identified as aria/aryan and also others identified persian as aria /arya peaple. He was greek and he didn't use aria/arya for greek or other European.

Modern day historical revisionism. The Aryan invasion is not a "theory" and is written of in old Indian texts and understood by Northern Indians to this day.

Thoroughly impressed with the content and narration of this video.

Wow! 👏 You have changed my life today. What a great gift 🎁. Knowledge and truth. 🙂

Fascinating subject; wonderful presentation. It's a keeper!

Thanks for a well researched and scholarly presentation.

Tamilnadu, Andra,karnataka, keralla, and orisa have more archeological structural remains to excavation. Tamilnadu found another archeological mount that dated back 3400 old.and goes on and on.another 150 archeological mounts needed to be excavation. Most probably megalithic sites 15000 years old sites.needed to be excavate,one of those one kilometer long caste in pottpannaikottai.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident - German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. Some people say "Aryan and Dravidian race is a complete hoax", but the whole world knows that India have two distinct major linguistic group namely Indo-Aryan [Indo-European] and Dravidian Language group, namely Sanskrit and Tamil. Even though the word Dravidian coined only in later days, since it is used to represent a Distinct linguistic group. We say it as Aryan and Dravidian races namely Aryans and Ancient Tamils. NO ONE CAN DENY this fact, so "Aryan and Dravidian race is NOT a hoax" In recent decades, the idea of an Aryan migration into India has been disputed only by Indian scholars, who claim Indigenous Aryans scenarios [Only because they do NOT want to be identified as OUTSIDERS to India]. However, these alternate scenarios are rooted in traditional and religious views on Indian history and identity and are universally rejected in mainstream scholars. Iranians are the original Aryans who invaded India from the west, this what we call it as ARYAN Invasion / Migration. The country Name Iran itself means "Land of the Aryans" and Iranshahr. The very close relation between Iranian and Indo-Aryan groups has never been doubted. They share linguistic features to such a degree that Indo-Iranian is generally described as a distinct subgroup of Indo-European. The term Arya has been used by the Iranian people, as well as by the rulers and emperors of Iran, from the time of the Avesta. The well-attested Indo-Iranian languages are Vedic Sanskrit, Avestan and Old Persian. Sanskrit and Avestan are very closely related languages with exact grammatical principles and numerous cognates [Blood Relative]. You can find words which are exactly identical, like Sanskrit/Avestan naman (name), ushtra (camel) etc. The list of Vedic Sanskrit gods are - Indra, Varuna, Mitra, Soma, Rudra, Vishnu & Agni. The list of Mittani [Syria] gods are - Indra, Varuna, Mitra and Nasatyas (Ashvins) This proves that Vedic Sanskrit gods are similar to that of Mittani [Syria] gods. And Mittani language being older than Sanskrit proves that Rigveda originated in Syria / Iran and then moved to India. Language, literature, epics & poems evolves every century. In Vedic/Hindu literature, Asuras (Ahuras) are bad guys while Devas are heroes. In Zoroastrian/Persian literature, Ahuras (Asuras) are heroes while Daevas are the villains. When the Vedic Aryans moved further, they arrived in the Indian subcontinent they were faced by the native Dravidians, Dravidians that got conquered were placed as low caste in Vedic Aryan society. The Vedic Aryans continued to call the enemy as “Asuras", but the description of the Asuras changed to Dravidians (i e. present day south-Indians) with dark skin, large facial hair etc. This is another proof for Rigveda evolving in Syria / Iran [Persia] and moved to Indian sub-continent. Initially Asuras (Ahuras) were referring to Zoroastrian/Persian and in later days Asuras were used to refer Dravidians. We have all the proofs for Aryan invasion in Rig Veda itself. Dasyus were the people who lived in India when the Aryans arrived here. They were having a dark-skin and flat noses. Battles depicted in the R̥gveda are directly referring to Aryans migrating into India which is native land of dark skinned people Dravidians. Rig Veda - Dasa: 54 hymns and 63 verses and Dasyus: 65 hymns, 80 verses. The accounts of conflict between the Aryans and the Dasas and Dasyus are acknowledged in Rig Veda. Rig Veda describes that Dasas and Dasyus were people who do not perform sacrifices. Aryans had to fight with these people for land. The Aryans defeated them and did not treat them well. The Aryan chief who overpowered Dasyus were called dasyuhatya (slaughter of the dasyus) this is repeatedly mentioned in the Rig Veda. Read the following to know more on this same subject Aryan by Birth - Upper Caste Fair Skin NORTH Indian (Brahmin, Kshatriyas & Vaisyas) Dravidian by Birth - Lower caste Dark Skin Sudras & Paraiahs / Panchamas (Dalits / Tribes) It is a very common and well known fact that across the globe White people feel that they are superior and enslave black people. That is the case in Africa and America too. Even in India even though we Indians had very old civilization then the British. The British people who came here for TRADE enslaved Indians. Same thing happened in Ancient India. Even though Dravidians had a OLDER Civilization, Aryans made them as Sudhras claiming white people are superior and black people are inferior. People living in Indian Sub-continent who are ALL fair in complexion have mostly Steppe land R1A1 genes in their DNA these people are basically Aryan. More than caste it is the Skin color which decides whether someone is Aryan or Dravidians. People living in Indian Sub-continent who are Dark in complexion have mostly South Asian Hunter Gatherer genes in their DNA these people are Dravidian [Tamils] basically. Tamils means all Sudras & Paraiahs / Panchamas (Dalits / Tribes) lived/living across Indian sub - continent. Even today, you can see dark skinned and pale dark-skinned people living across India in all places, they were all Tamils only in ancient India. "Justice H N Nagamohan Das Commission panel" says, Indian Vedic philosophy lead to social inequality and caste system, All these happened because of Brahmins, Upanishads, Manusrmiti, and epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana...” the commission said in its July 2020 report, which the BJP government formally accepted. The panel report also says that people belonging to Dravidian race resided in North India once upon a time. “Many foreign invaders such as ARYANS, Persians, Greeks, Huns, Turks, Mongolians, Europeans etc came and fought against local people. The rulers who won the war developed relations with local women and consequently emerged mixed races” About Kasthriyas, who ever had the courage and willpower they conquered the land [Still it is very difficult for a Sudhra to achieve this], for them even if they are from lower caste, Brhamins did NOT had any choice. So, Brahmins accepted who ever won the war as Kasthriyas except Muslim. Kasthriya Kings always married fair and good looking girls mostly. So, Kasthriyas community have a mix of Upper caste and lower caste DNAs in them. The ancient text Manusmriti designate the Shudra as Peasants and Artisans i.e., Farmers and All Craftsman, Shudra is NOT to mean slaves. Read the following facts about DNA Studies. Why R1A1 DNA originates in EUROPE, but not in India. why it is it not found or too less in percentage among South Indian people ? Why M haplogroups DNA is not found in Upper caste Aryans or North Indians ? If found why so less ? If you have read Vedas there are lots and lots of mention about Horses, then why HORSES are not native to INDIA ? If Aryans lived in India 5,000 years back means, then why there were NO Horse seals in Harappan IVC sites ? Why copper hoard culture found only with Aryans, but not with Dravidians ? Why antenna swords found in Sinauli - India which belongs to BMAC - Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex ? Haplo M is found among 60% of modern day Indians. It is in every person from south. But here’s the main catch ! It’s only found in depressed classes of northern and tribal peoples of northern India. But, almost to zero to 1-4% among Higher caste Aryans or North Indians. Just like R1A1 not found in south in the same way south’s M groups are not found among R1A1 peoples of north. So, it is proved beyond doubt that "ALL upper caste Fair Skin North Indians are ALL ARYANS, and all lower caste Dark Skin Sudras & Paraiahs / Panchamas (Dalits / Tribes) are all Dravidians"

Migration of Indo-Europeans entirely replaced the population in Britain. But definitely not conquest!

History is being re-written to accomodate American Imperial Ideology of egalitarianism. Aryan meant both "noble" and ethnicity. Its preposterous to believe the learned British were racist but the war like ancient Aryans were color blind Americans, that somehow paradoxically established the caste system. Indians, up to this day, are very ethnocentric and racist. When it is pointed out that the narratives of history are established to serve political objectives the present is no exception, and in the present, it is American ideology that is dominant. Thank America too, for flooding Europe with immigrants, under the cover of UN refugee programs.

So why did you have a picture of Hillaire Belloc?

Very interesting presentation.

I absolutely am burning my stomach muscles from your history on them largely due to my ignorance believing they qere as ancient Egypt, babylon or something and to learn from 1 of the most hilarious yet truly honest historians I've ran across yet

brilliant video directs us to understand the path to the reality

I was listening, but the reference of Romilla Thapar destabilized my thought process. Whatever, you have given a sketch of Arayans with alternative hypothesis and this makes an interesting piece.

What is “CI” mentioned after every date

The author is unaware of the haplpgroup phylogenies of Indian and Iranian r1a, and the source of autosomal steppe admixture in Indo-Iranian speakers. In short it came from people who were phenotypically and genetically the same as North Eastern Europeans. That is not even disputable at this stage.

He never explains the caste system that was brought about the same time.

I think the latest theory for the Harappan decline was earthquake that changed the course of the Sindhu river. The river dried up, with water diverted to the Ganges and Indus. That is why the Ganges is the holy river. It was the river that was enhanced/created when the Sindhu died. It gave the people life who thought they had lost everything.

Now I understand when it is said "Knowledge shall increase in the last days" Thanks to this technology. There is no going back.

I'm just here for the comments

Thank you very much for the great interpretation of ARYAN .

Congratulations for the brilliant presentation

I'm a proud indo-aryan Hindu following Aryan religion Hinduism and praying in Aryan language Sanskrit hymns. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Ok did I miss the part that states or showed the origins of the word?

Why no mention of Helena Blavatsky? Why no mention of the astrological term Arien?

Beautifully done! Actual history that's not suffocated or based on mythology.

Once Indus valley script is deciphered, we'd be able to tell for certain what happened. Until then it's just speculation, some more probable than others.

• Islamic texts also say the Jinn tribes of Arabia had Black skin and weren't considered to be Human or related to Adam since thy had horns + weird feet + out of human shape features.

Thanks for this look back into history!

Thank you , was very Educational!

There is no reference to Saraswati River which may have caused the abandonment of big cities because of its drying up... Rakhigarhi is a site of an ancient city presently in the state of Haryana in India , doesn't lie on the indus or Sindhu river and hence role of the Saraswati River is to be studied further

That was interesting until you made it about "white supremacy" and spoiled the soup.

Perhaps Aryans were the friends we made along the way.

Brilliant video!

Yersenia pestis is indigenous to the steppe, first seen around 2-3k y bc. I’m sure it played some part in finishing off starving villagers.. Germs move faster than horses.

As somebody who has in-depth and scholarly knowledge of this subject, I take my hat off to the producers of this video for its very high quality of contents- simply not just one of, but the best presentation of the subject so admirably condensed into such a short time of the video. Thank you and very well done!

It’s also equally amazing how much there is to know….

Indo-European is a language family, NOT a race, and some stupid people say its a ‘white’ race or European race that is 1000%wrong. For example: most Indians and Bangladeshis are dark-brown skin, but their language belonged to Indo-Europeans language group, While Hungarian,Finnish people are 99% pure white skinned, but their language NOT indo-European.

Interesting and well presented. By the way, and with respect, Bayreuth is pronounced Buyroyt. Thank you.

ITS HYPOCRITICAL TO DISCOUNT THE RACIST SUBSTITUTION OF THE ARYANS, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY ASSIGNING EGYPTIAN AS NON-BLACK.

What always puzzled me is that the language is called, ,Indo- European" however it's always stated the people migrated from Central Asia not Central Europe. I know some will say the language is similiar. I say to that, look at the laguage migration graphs and look at the languages similarities your self. The similarities go Eastward from Babylon to Persia then East.

What is CE? Is that the same as BC?

Dr BB Lal who was most important archeologist of Indus Valley civilization concluded that Indus Valley civilization is Vedic civilization.

I never found anywhere in Veda's about mention of Harrapan civilisations or similar urban development if Veda's are so old?

That ancient script that looks Arabic, is actually old Persian Avesta script, and it was written before there ever was Arabic script.

It looks like your political correctness has prejudiced your views of the Aryan migration into northern India. Recent DNA studies/evidence confirms it.

European scientists in 18-19c. concluded that people of Caucasus mountains are most pure, strong and beautiful race of people, so white race probably originated there. So white race was called Caucasian. Ironically people of Caucasus also distinguished not only by race but as only non-Aryan ethnicities in huge Indo-European ocean, between Slavs and Iranians

A visit today, to modern Iran, will show you, that the population is sharply divided into two cultural groups: One which bare all the physical attributes of Central Europeans, and the other, which shares physical attributes more with the populations in Pakistan, and India. Afghans are no different: Those who's ethnic heritage is from Iran, Tajikistan, Bactria, and Uzbekistan, are of lighter complexion, and bare a different culture. The Afgan-Pashtu of the South-East, are of a darker race, and bare the deeply religious cultures, customs, and mentality of their Pashtu cousins of Pakistan.

It is always a delight to hear one set of basically ideological concepts being used in dissing others, especially when the proponents of a newer ideology point out the flawed assumptions of a previous generation - while merrily asserting their own flawed assumptions .. as if fact (or at least more 'true'). A race of intelligent, gentlemanly, nobles clearly sounds rather odd to the modern ear, being quite accustomed to a political shift in how the term 'race' is to be used, now being almost exclusively a division related to skin colour, a continent of origin, or the claims that are made about them; but the term, stripped of this shift in meaning, relates to a class of peoples related to shared ancestry, a lineage, therefore, as in a family or breed (a distinct tribe, a generation, common occupation, or once even to a classification of wine types); e.g. the human 'race', specifically or generally. Aryan indicates a social distinction, along lines of inheritance, job prospects, or supposititious gene-pool characteristics. A race of aristocrats then, as a certain, more or less internally regulated, form of 'society'. Thus US America's WASPs (White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant), an in-crowd of the In-Crowd, fitted the bill - perhaps less so today where being Monied, Accepted, Privileged, Promotable seems to be the rule of the well oiled but slammable door to 'power'.

Was looking forward to an insightful doc on the history and development of the subcontinent, instead what I got was a sophmoric lecture, (parental kind), about how I shouldn't confuse " Aryan" with "white supremacists," when talking about south Asia....yeah no shit, thanks for the waste of time.

Aryana = Ancient Afghanistan 5,000 years ago, centered around the city of Balkh.

Very interesting thank you

The 'Vanjari' tribe in India was trader, trading grains and other products on cattle. As they were continuously moving from one place to another, they know to fight and also know multiple languages. They are fair, heighted and athletic body people. Today , we can see some similarities . As there is one villages called 'Mohoj Deware' in Pathardi Tehsil of Maharashtra state of India. Nearby temple of goddess called 'Mohota' Devi

I would love to have this video separated into two videos, one about the racist history of Aryan theory and one composing modern Aryan description and origin. It was confusing to follow.

I am an Aryan I have colored eyes and blonde hair and was born in Armenia more earlier Anatolia

The brilliant video directs us to understand the path of reality

At first I might agree, if it wasn't for knowing and understanding historical patterns. The Turks and the Mongols that arrived during the Middle Ages conquered Central Asia and India. They conquered each other in East Asia, pushing each other. So why would the Arians not have done the same, if that is the logical historical pattern? I disagree with you, because what you say is not logical, but rather sounds politically correct. Not historically sound.

Interesting how "ARIA" was part of a war / drum chant with many of the the West Slavic tribes between the 6th and 13th century. So is it a coincidence the Polish and Sorb (East German Slavic) DNA is the closest to the Northern Hindustan DNA ???

No indo european❌ no erupean❌ I am is arian✔ I am is asian✔ I am hendo iranian✔.

Artifacts they have found in the excavations suggest they were Vedic people. Artifacts such as Shivlinga, alter for god, yoga terracotta figures, and a few others.

11:25 i have stayed in a house with these in yazd iran . it was really a technology backdays how cold it makes your house during summer days is unbelivable

I just wanna say that I’m Norwegian and German and I’m very happy to see someone clearing up the ignorance and confusion. Thank you.

Whether we like it or not racial alignment is one of the strongest forces in the world and has been the cause of perpetual confrontation, wars and discrimination between different people speaking different languages from the time of creation till today. You can see it everywhere. It is singular, crude and inclusive. Outsiders literally have no place in these racial circles. It is exclusively for people of a single race. I am a supporter of the Invasion theory. I am also working on the decipherment of the Indus script. There are more than a thousand Indus sites in north-western part of the Indian sub-continent. Many of the ruins are almost intact even after 4000 years. The foundations are so strong that you can reconstruct houses and make them livable. My question is that they are not mere ruins, they were homes where people lived, children played, people lived here and raised families. But no one seems to be asking where have these people gone? The regular answers are: floods, climate change, drought, rivers changing their course and deforestation destroyed the Indus culture which was as large as western Europe but nothing happened to the incumbents(Vedic/Aryan people) even after living in India for almost 3500 years. I find it impossible to believe this stuff . Can anyone help me?

Very nice explanation.

When migrants came in there were clashes between the indigenous people and the outsiders. This happened all over the world. Why the North West of India could be an exception. Is it that I.V people hugged the new comers with open arms and absorbed their culture and the Aryans also became indegenised

This video, by far, is one of the BEST one and most objective one on the topic of the Aryan. I am a Persian and have studied my history objectively for the past 35 years and know for a FACT that the word ARYAN is a Persian word first appeared in the Zoroasterian religion book Zend Avesta some 4000 years ago during the Pishdadian dynesty in Iran. It is mentioned that Persians are true Aryans by the virtue of being Zoroasterian.The meaning of Aryan in Persian is moral, noble, or ethical and NOTHING MORE. There is absolutely no gentic Haplogroup fantasy associated with this adjective word Aryan. Now some missguided people can eternally delve into the fake Aryan eastern European which absolutely a joke and a pure falsification of history since there in NO gentic identity associated with Aryan. FAKE science is everywhere now-a-days but 4000 years ago no body called themselves Aryans but Persians and their direct cousins Medes, and Parthians. Dariush the great (Darius) 2550 years ago in Parseh (Persepolis) on a golden tablet proclaimed that: I am Dariush King of Kings, king of lands containing all kinds of men, .................A son of a Persian having Aryan lineage (noble, moral, ethical lineage). The rest is history, and we are ONE race the HUMAN race. I suffice here.

*Aryan meant "Noble" in Sanskrutam/ Sanskrit - All Humans whom were highly moral, simple, had jnyana (knowledge and wisdom) and walked the right path throughout her/his life that became beneficial for all was called an "Arya" or "Arya Purush".* As per Sanatana Dharmik scriptures there is *no rigid class system and people could align themselves to their professions as they liked and hence called "Varnashrama Dharma" - Varna - Ashrama - Dharma -> Duty as per job or leaning in material life. Moreover the Brahmins/Brahmanas were supposed to live extremely simple (basically destitute), ought to perform prayers for oneself and society and provide free education. Kshatriyas were spiritually enhanced to the level they used to "protect Dharma" , Vaishyas (Merchant/Business class) providing employment opportunities and Shudras were "Service men/women" - Those whom served or worked just like Engineers, Skilled workers, Architects, Designers, Manufacturers etc. These virtues and values were practiced throughout till the 17th - 18th Centuries (pre - colonial era) during the final periods of the Mughal Empire in India. This fact is attested by the Mughals themselves in their Book : *Fatawa - E - Alamgiri* written by Naqshbandi scholars on the lives and culture of Indian society in Aurangzeb's period (pre - Maratha era).* The description is very clear. Hence there was economical disparity based differences in social status for over the period of colonial rule as this book of the Mughals was used by the then colonials to target the social fabric of the country with a motive to bend it to their own will. For the most part the colonial experiment was successful and till date Indians identify more with the west than with their culture and themselves.

Throughout history there's been people of all four skin colors who are Top Entrepreneurs, Top Scientists, Top Sportsmen, Top Politicians, Top Writers, Top Musicians, Top Artists, Top Philosophers, Top Criminals, and specially Top Liers, etc.

Why do you give a year as say 1746 ce. What does the ce mean

I think you did a good job here, funny part is indians still believe sanskrit originated in india and that somewhere north were a clan of blue and green eyed, blonde haired lot of aryans who gave culture to the dark peoples. Yet they still cannot pinpoint where cast system or chariots and horses came from. 😊😊

I’m suspicious of some history that appears to be promoted as a reaction to contemporary race conflict.

Europeans didn't teach us the meaning of Arya; Iranians taught Europeans the meaning of Arya(the race of Iranians ONLY).
