crap

Aryans weren't blond haired , blue eyed and definately not Northern European barbarians..

[ramsharma]

The original meaning of the word has of course been corrupted. Those that referred to themselves as Aryans used it to mean "noble". In other words, not all Vedic people, or for that matter Iranians, were Aryans. Iranian kings were Aryans, Indian kings were Aryans, but the common people were mere putty in their hands, trust me.
I don't really understand why or how such a big deal has been made of a term so inconsequential.

it's absulutely right.ARYAN means neighter race nor tribe.it was just a term to refer a group of languages.even now this name is completely vanishing.the ARYAN TRIBE theory and ARYAN TRIBE MIGRATION THEORY is completely wrong and corupted.even in Iran there were no ARYAN tribe.nowadays just some pan-iranist and racist use this term as a tribe or race.you know because of their third world country patterns.
look at max muller's view who had forged this theory as race but then rejected it.
"I have declared again and again that if I say Aryas, I mean neither blood nor bones, nor hair nor skull; I mean simply those who speak an Aryan language...To me an ethnologist who speaks of Aryan race, Aryan blood, Aryan eyes and hair, is a great a sinner as a linguist who speaks of a dolichocephalic dictionary or a brachycephalic grammar."
(Max Muller, Biographies of Words and
the Home of the Aryas, 1888, pg 120)
and
(The Invasion That Never Was - By Michel Danino and Sujata Nahar p. 29-30).

Racial theories and pseudo-science continue to be vigorously employed today by the Vatican and other Western evangelist enterprises in their ongoing campaign to harvest souls for Christianity. But it is not only in the remote corners of the Third World where the unexamined "truths" of Max Muller and his missionary-scholar contemporaries are still used as weapons of propaganda.
