Talk:Aryan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

((Aryan (/eərjən/ or /ɑːrjən/) is an English language word derived from the Sanskrit and Iranian terms ārya-, the extended form aryāna-, ari- and/or arya- (Sanskrit: आर्य, Persian: آریا). Beyond its use as the ethnic self-designation of the Proto-Indo-Iranians, the meaning "noble/spiritual one" has been attached to it in Sanskrit and Persian. In linguistics, it is sometimes still used in reference to the Indo-Iranian language family, but it is primarily restricted to the compound Indo-Aryan, the Indic subgroup of the Indo-Iranian branch.))Italic text

It is thus clear that Aryan is not any distinct race or category of people as it consist of all those who are noble and spiritual. An aryan means a man of good character and not a man of any specific skin colour. Everybody with long noses, wide foreheads and white or fair colour is not Aryan if he doesnot have good character and a noble spirit. It is rather funny to note that even those who have very sinister inclinations toward others's woman and property falsely think themselves to be Aryan.

The word Aryan was used in self praise by everyone as and when one was able to use it by hooks or crooks. The word Aryan is now used to to disintegrate well established societies by creating false superiority of few over others. Even chors, goondas, thieves, fraudsters, characterless people with antisocial history and instincts can be very well accomodated in the list of Aryans if they are in a position to demoralise and uproot others by their devilious activities.

[edit] Afghans, Persians or Aryan?

Afghans are considered to be Aryan or even Persian? Afghan itself means Aryan according to history and Afghanistan meaning Land of the Aryans would put us in the category of Aryan people.... Genetics show that Afghanistan has more Aryan people then any other place on the globe but yet on dictionary.com and wikipedia Persian and Aryan is specifically toward Iranians. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.74.176.244 (talk) 19:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC).

If you mean Pashtuns, yes, they form part of the Iranian peoples. dab (𒁳) 21:58, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
