"Aryan" is actually an old indo-european word that is translated to meaning something similar to "Noble". The National Socialist party got the idea to describe people through this common linguistic link. Even then, it is a poor way to describe race because Hindi and Persian are both Indo-European languages, and as of today India is a mix between old medditeranean peoples and the australoid, dravidians. Persia(Iran) is a mixed between the old medditeranean peoples and pretty much every racial group in existance, like the rest of the middle east. You wouldn't really describe them as "European" or for the English speakers "White" in today's world. Their cultural does stem from the same "Aryan" culture that Europeans have as well. Having said all this, not all native Europeans are rooted from "Indo Europeans or Aryans". The basque are genetically similar to most of the rest of europe, their language isn't Indo-European though. It wasn't until recently(last 2,000 years) where Indo-European language and culture has really dominated Europe to its fullest actually. Finnish is another example of a non-indo european language for arguments sake. |
Please stop with the history lessons or at least use paragraphs. I know what Aryan is. I was making a joke
