Abstract: The identity and origin of the historical Aryans need not be a mystery. However, disabusing
oneself of misguided 18th-20th century racialist notions is necessary for reaching understanding. To do
that, the author employs Aryan scriptures, and artifacts, non-Aryan historical accounts, and linguistics to
locate, describe, and define the Aryans. The sources are not new, but a fresh analysis establishes surprising
conclusions about heretofore unknown Aryan links to a broader ancient civilization.
WHERE DO ARYANS COME FROM?
According to their scriptures, the homeland of the Aryans was modern day Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan
and Northern India.
Sixteen perfect lands created by Ahura Mazda, and as many plagues created by Angra

Sixteen perfect lands created by Ahura Mazda, and as many plagues created by Angra
Mainyu.
Ahura Mazda spake unto Spitama Zarathushtra, saying:
1: I have made every land dear (to its people), even though it had no charms whatever in it
2: had I not made every land dear (to its people), even though it had no charms whatever in it, then the
whole living world would have invaded the Airyana Vaeja.
3: The first of the good lands and countries which I, Ahura Mazda, created, was the Airyana Vaeja, by
the Vanguhi Daitya. (Avesta: Vendidad: Fargard 1)
The footnote to this translation states that
Airyanem Vaeja, Iran-Vej, is the holy land of Zoroastrianism: Zarathushtra was born and founded his
religion there (Bund. 20.32 (http://www.avesta.org/mp/bundahis.html#chapter20); 32.3
(http://www.avesta.org/mp/bundahis.html#chap32)). From its name, ‘the Iranian seed,’ it seems to
have been considered as the original seat of the Iranian race.
It has been generally supposed to belong to Eastern Iran, like the provinces which are enumerated after
it, chiefly on account of the name of its river, the Vanguhi Daitya, which was in the Sassanian times
(as Veh) the name of the Oxus.
But the Bundahish distinctly states that Iran-Vej is ‘bordering upon Adarbajan [Azerbaijan]‘ (29.12
(http://www.avesta.org/mp/bundahis.html))… [1]
To settle the confusion of eastern versus northern Iranian plateau, we have Strabo, who in his Geography
says that Eratosthenes so defined Ariana:
‘Ariana,’ he says, is bounded on the east by the Indus, on the south by the Great Sea, on the north by the
Paropamisus and the succeeding chain of mountains as far as the Caspian Gates, on the west by the
same limits by which the territory of the Parthians is separated from Media, and Carmania from
Parætacene and Persia. (Strabo’s Geography (http://new-indology.blogspot.com/2013/02/indo-
iranians-new-perspectives.html))

Aryanem-Vaeja / Iran-Vej / Ariana
In the Vedas, Aryavarta (Land of the Noble Ones) is extended as far as the Bay of Bengal:
The Manusmṛti (2.22) gives the name [Aryavarta] to “the tract between the Himalaya and the Vindhya
ranges, from the Eastern Sea (Bay of Bengal) to the Western Sea (Arabian Sea)”.[2]

Arya Varta
Here are the combined Aryan Homelands, covering areas historically or currently known (from east to
west) as Khorasan, Baluchistan, Afghanistan, Sindh, Punjab, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh
Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Bengal:

Aryan Homelands (Indus River in blue
represents border between Aryanem
Vaeja and Arya Varta)
This, of course, brings the discussion to the opposing Out of India and Aryan Invasion/Migration
theories, in short the debate over whether Aryans originated in Greater India, or came from the north.
If the Aryans were from somewhere else, they would have named that place Aryanem Vaeja or Arya
Varta. This is critical. It defies logic to claim, or even think, that Aryans forsook the place of their
origin for the place of their migration. Crucially, as mentioned above, one translation of Aryanem
Vaeja is ‘Aryan seed’- alluding to birthplace or origin. No place outside of the mapped homelands has
ever been named or thought of as an Aryan homeland, to the author’s knowledge.
Aryans did indeed migrate out of their homelands- most likely not as conquerors, but as people
wielding “soft” power- cultural, spiritual and technological influence. As the more developed culture,
their language(s), spiritual systems, and cultural mores dominated the new the new hybrid cultures
they fostered by moving north. According to archaeologist Giacomo Benedetti,
If there were ‘cultural ties’, they should have spoken a common language, and why not Indo-

If there were ‘cultural ties’, they should have spoken a common language, and why not Indo-
Iranian as in the later centuries, the same language of the names of the rivers and mountains of that
region, when not substituted by Turkic words? Moreover, if we look at the textual traditions, in the
Avesta we have the Airyas as a settled people, living on agriculture and stockbreeding, opposed to
the Tuiryas (remained as Turanians in the Iranian tradition), who are nomads (but also bearing
Iranian names), exactly the situation that we find in the late Bronze Age and in the Iron Age in
Central Asia, with steppe pastoralists in contact with the settled agriculturists of a tradition of
millennia of sedentary civilization, well reflected also in the Shahnameh of Firdusi. If the Aryans
were the nomads from the steppe, the situation in the Avesta and Firdusi should be completely
opposite. Not only, in the hymns of the Avesta (e.g. Yt. 5) the ancient Iranian heroes are often
associated with mountains, including the progenitor Yima, who is described as offering a sacrifice
on the Hukairya mountain, which is probably in Pamir. Whence came these traditions if they came
from the northern flatlands? [13]
So, if we combine Iranian texts and archaeology, we suspect that the Aryans are actually the heirs
of the Central-South Asian Neolithic tradition, and not of the steppe nomads, who normally are
absorbed by the superior culture of the sedentary civilizations,
The contrast between the southern Aryan culture and that of the steppes- home of the Scythians, for
example, who undeservedly show up in Aryan origin hypotheses- and who had the capacity to
influence whom is clear in Benedetti’s analysis
“The steppe pastoralists in the Iron Age learned from the agriculturists: for instance, in the Tagisken
mausoleums on the Syr Darya, they used bricks, obviously unknown in the steppes, but so typical
of the southern civilization, since the Neolithic Mehrgarh in Baluchistan…” [13]
“Around 3800 BC in Baluchistan (where we find the technologically most advanced pottery
tradition of Eastern Iran) appeared the earliest grey ware, which spread over the Indus plain but
also westward to the whole of the Helmand valley, Bampur and Kerman.” [13]

He adds
The fact that there was trade with BMAC suggests that Bactria-Margiana merchants and
metallurgists went north in search of metal sources and maybe of a better climate, in that period of
aridification at the end of the third millennium, and started to colonize that region with their
fortified settlements with their perpendicular streets, inner square and concentric walls [13]
Finally,
The influences of the pastoralists of the steppe reached the south, but they did not bring a radical
change, rather the steppe peoples were influenced by the farmers, as recognized by Askarov about
the Iron Age in Transoxiana (op.cit., p.441): “The cultural and economic tradition of the advanced
southern communities gradually permeated the stockbreeding population of the steppes.” [13]
Thus, it is clear that Aryans came from Aryan Vaeja (Baluchistan in modern southeast Iran-southwest
Pakistan) in addition to naming it after themselves. The elements of Aryan civilization (language,
spirituality, symbology) found in the steppes, which later spread west, travelled upwards from Ariana,
not the reverse.
Later migrations and diffusion, of peoples Aryan and Anaryans together, would spread languages to
the uncivilized peoples of the steppe (whether in the steppe itself or to the places they themselves had
migrated- west Asia a/k/a “Europe).
The Scythians are the historical Iranian speakers of the steppe. They should be seen not as the
bearers of Indo-Iranian languages from the north to the south, but the opposite, as the nomadic
pioneers of the Iranian languages (like the Tuiryas and Sairimas of the Avesta), who brought them
up to Siberia in the east and Ukraine in the west.[13]
A parallel scenario is the spread of Islam around the globe. Initially, majority Arab conquerors spread
outwards from Arabia in all directions. Under their influence, diverse peoples adopted and modified
the Arabic script, and added many Arabic words to their lexicon. They, of course, were not Arabs
themselves, but they spread their new hybrid cultures further, including their script and vocabulary.
While some people in these secondary and tertiary waves may have had some Arab ancestry, they
would have been in the minority. Importantly, no one would ever think that any place but the Arabian
peninsula is Arabia, and no one claims that Persians, Turks, East Africans and Malays are all Arabs,
despite cultural, linguistic and (very sparse) genetic affinities.
With that, the question of Aryan diffusion is solved: a cultural empire spread out from the Iranian
plateau and Indian sub-continent, civilizing and influencing the steppe nomads- who themselves were
populating “Europe”- in its wake.

Who is Aryan Today?
Some people in the Aryan Homelands may have some Aryan blood.
The Aryan homelands covered a huge landmass in the middle of the world’s largest continent. It’s been
invaded, occupied and ruled by Mongols (multiple times), Turkic peoples, and Arabs. The Iranian
plateau in particular was inundated for centuries by “white” and other slaves [3]. This would have
added to and altered the local genotypes and phenotypes.
To complement that, people from the Aryan homelands have also migrated in many directions. While
they would have influenced the genotypes and phenotypes there, theirs would have been influenced in
return.
Saying that whoever is in the Aryan homelands now are direct, “pure-blooded” descendants of the
Aryans, would be extremely difficult to prove. To even say that whoever speaks “Aryan” languages is
Aryan, is also poor logic. No one claims that Senegalese are ethnically French just for speaking French,
for example.
ARE “EUROPEANS” ARYAN?
No.
Aside from random chance, West Asians “Europeans” do not descend from Aryans.
They either don’t know their origins, or are hiding them:
The desire to have ancestors as illustrious and grand as possible can be found with all European
peoples.
The Romans believed their ancestors to origin from Troy.
The medieval Spanish aristocracy put emphasis on their superior Visigothic blood which not
only made them different from their subjects but also put them above them.
The French continue to become chronic schizophrenics as soon as they are to decide whether
they are descendants either of Vercingetorix and the Gauls (Celts) or of Charles The Great
(Charlemagne) and the Franks (Teutons).
Some English seemingly not satisfied with their mix of Briton, Anglo-Saxonian, Viking and
Norman predecessors still found it necessary to have one lost tribe of Israel driven to
their coasts in order to make sure they have even older and religiously more important
ancestors.
Now the Germans meant to see the roots of their own history in the changes caused by the very

Now the Germans meant to see the roots of their own history in the changes caused by the very
migration of the peoples that had caused the illustrious ancestors of their neighbors. Considering
that even Tacitus mentioned that the Teutons were “of pure blood”, not at all mixed with other
races and (therefore) authochtone, there seemed to be hardly any reason to doubt their
Northern European origin.
When the Church needed a relation to the bible, Ashkenaz, one of Japhet’s grandsons,
was found who discovered a way to Northern Europe and thus established the Teutons
even within this frame. Especially during the time of Reformation one was proud to be
different from the degenerated and corrupt Roman world. [4]
Essentially, they are inventing their origins as they go along. It is a peculiar habit of western Asian
(“European”) culture that continues today. In academic discussions, such efforts should be seen as
nothing other than absurd.
Under Christian influence, Europeans claimed biblical heritage. Soon, another group came from the
heart of Asia- the steppes- and they, too, had a claim to biblical lineage. They were the Khazarian
converts to Talmudic Judaism. (If you’ve noticed, most Ashkenazi Jews hail back to areas in or around
the Eurasian steppes- the same location as Khazaria). The fact that they were racially similar, but
culturally distant from these arriving Jews compounded the problem settled Europeans had had with
Jews from pre-Christian days (Roman Empire). So they expelled them hundreds of times. And they
looked for a new, non-Biblical heritage to attach themselves to:
Thinkers of the calibre of Goethe, Nietzsche, Arthur Schopenhauer and Richard Wagner found in the
Orient a system of philosophy and historiography that allowed them to abandon the unsatisfactory
world view of Judeo-Christianity… Of course, in order to establish and strengthen the link between
the Germans and the Orient, Hebrew had to be abandoned as the original language of humanity, to be
replaced by Sanskrit, the language of classical Hinduism. [4]
The above quote illustrates the intentional to create a new identity- Aryan- to distance “Europeans”
from Jews. It is the root of Aryan/”white” vs. Jew anti-semitism.
The premier Aryanist thinkers of the time eventually came to this realization, but too late:
By way of illustration, it may be pointed out in this connection that English is spoken at the present

By way of illustration, it may be pointed out in this connection that English is spoken at the present
day by, among others, the Hong Kong Chinamen, the American Red Indians and negroes, by the natives
of Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, and the Scottish Highlands, besides the descendants of the ancient Britons,
the Jutes, the Angles, the Saxons, the Norsemen, the Danes, and the Normans in England, but all these
peoples cannot be classified in the racial sense simply as Englishmen. Similarly, the varied types of
humanity who are Aryan in speech cannot all be regarded as representatives of the “Aryan
race”, that is, if we accept the theory of an “Aryan race”, which Virchow, by the way, has characterized
as “a pure fiction”. (author’s emphasis)
Max Müller in his closing years, faced this aspect of the problem frankly and courageously. “Aryas”, he
wrote, “are those who speak Aryan languages, whatever their colour, whatever their blood. In calling
them Aryas we predicate nothing of them except that the grammar of their language is Aryan. . . . 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. The same applies to Hindus, Greeks,
Romans, Germans, Celts, and Slays. When I speak of these I commit myself to no anatomical
characteristics. The blue-eyed and fair-haired Scandinavians may have been conquerors or
conquered, they may have adopted the language of their darker lords or their subjects, or vice
versa. I assert nothing beyond their language when I call them Hindus, Greeks, Romans, Germans,
Celts, and Sla[v]s, and in that sense, and in that sense only, do I say that even the blackest Hindus
represent an earlier stage of Aryan speech and thought than the fairest Scandinavians. . . . To
me an ethnologist who speaks of an Aryan race, Aryan blood, Aryan eyes and hair, is as great a sinner
as a linguist who speaks of a dolichocephalic dictionary or a brachycephalic grammar.”[5] (author’s
emphasis)
Their voices, unfortunately do not echo down the halls of history as loudly as racialists like Churchill
and Hitler whose pseudo-scientific “mashup” of Aryans and Nordics justified incalculable atrocities
and theft worldwide.
Here are other proofs that West Asians (“Europeans”) were never Aryan:
Greece, and later Rome, were in constant contact and conflict with Iran, and, in the case of
Alexander, India. Why didn’t they notice linguistic similarities then? Why didn’t they consider
themselves brothers in Aryan-hood?
Ancient historians were aware of Aryans, yet did not consider themselves part of them. Even
after Renaissance revival of Greek texts, the Europeans did not identify with Aryans for centuries.
No part of Europe or Russia was ever listed in the Aryan Homelands, not even by Europeans
[Greco-Roman] historians.
In short, the term Aryan has never been, and should never be, applied to other branches of Indo-
European people.
ARYANS WERE NOT NORDIC

There is even less basis for the conflation of Aryans and Nordics (blonde hair & blue eyes).
Our knowledge of these “Aryans” is sketchy, and there’s still a lot to be determined about them,
both through anthropological and archaeological research. But we can be quite sure that they bore
no direct relation to the modern inhabitants of Germany and Scandinavia. [6]
Another distinctive race has yet to be accounted for–the tall, fair, blue-eyed, long-headed Northerners,
represented by the Scandinavians of the present day… How dark eyes became grey or blue, and dark
hair red or sandy, is a problem yet to be solved.
The ancestors of this fair race are believed to have been originally distributed along the northern Eur-
Asian plateaus; Keane’s blonde long-headed Chudes and the Wu-suns in Chinese Turkestan are
classed as varieties of the ancient Northern stock. [7]
In short, Nordics (blond, blue-eyed) are not from the Aryan homeland. Only by coincidence did
Nordicism and interest in the Aryans arise at the same time. It was a mistake to ever have merged
them.
THEN WHAT WAS THE ARYAN RACE?
The Aryans did have what we now call a “race”, and we know what it is.
However before exploring that, it is important to remember that “race” (skin color, ethnicity) did not
matter to the Aryans, and they were not a “master race”.
According to Rg Veda translator Kant Singh, “If you believe Grifﬁth’s or even Jamison and Brereton’s
translation (Oxford Univ. Press,2014), the Rigveda is a racist document”. However, he goes on to
argue, this is due to gross mistranslations that are so inaccurate they could only have been intentional.
He offers word-for-word translations and transliterations of relevant passages in his pivotal work “No
Racism in the Rigveda”, available free online here
(https://www.academia.edu/7741340/No_Racism_in_Rigveda).
Looking further into Aryan scripture, though, we do find some accurate information about their
appearance.
DESCRIPTION IN HOLY SCRIPTURE
May thy hairs grow as reeds, may they cluster, black, about thy head! (Atharva Veda 6.137.2)

Brahmins have strong black hair (Atharva Veda 6.137.3) Let him [the Brahmin Priest] kindle the
sacrificial fire while his hair is still black. (Dharma-Sutra 1:2)
And in the Avesta we read:
O Zarathushtra! let not that spell be shown to any one, except by the father to his son, or by the brother to
his brother from the same womb, or by the Athravan to his pupil in black hair, devoted to the good law,
who, devoted to the good law, holy and brave, stills all the Drujes. (Khordha Avesta.Yashts.4.10)

ARYAN LANGUAGE
Linguists have also done much to ascertain the origin of the earliest inhabitants of Aryan homelands.
Most Congolese (Bantu) languages have an a-prefix (or augment) attached to past verbal forms:

Most Congolese (Bantu) languages have an a-prefix (or augment) attached to past verbal forms:
Kele a-lembe-ke “loved”
Poto a-kala-ka “loved”
Ngala a-jinga-ka ”loved”
Kongo a-tond-ele ”loved” etc.
The augment is thought by Torrend (1891 : 237) to be a reduced form of the verb ya “go”.This
feature is quite unusual and very significant. We assume Bantu has preserved a very ancient Niger-
Congo characteristic here. The suffix -ke, -ka often cooccurs with this prefix.
Now Greek, an Indo-European language, preserves this augment as do various other Indo-
European languages (Meillet 1950 : 97)
Sanskrit a-bharat “he carried”
Old Persian a-bara “he was bringing”,

We know that there were once Niger-Congo languages in Iran from the evidence of place
names (I-ran, compare I-raq), perhaps also in western India (Pakistan). Iran is nearer to
Africa, and like India, has a prominent river system. The early Africans originally travelled by boat.
So Indo-Iranian, … appear to constitute a subgroup within Indo-European, which has Niger-
Congo characteristics. This subgroup extends from Greece in the west to India in the east.[8]
Recent linguistic discovery tends to show that a Cushite or Ethiopian race did in the earliest times
extend itself along the shores of the Southern Ocean from Abyssinia to India… it extended from the
Indus along the seacoast through the modern Beluchistan and Kerman, which was the proper
country of the Asiatic Ethiopians [9]

THE ARYAN “RACE”
AS DESCRIBED BY HISTORIANS
The above linguistic findings, and the Ethiopian connection they begin to establish, are corroborated by
the claims of historians about the ancient inhabitants of the Aryan Homelands: that they were part of a
vast religious and cultural empire, the worldwide cultural sphere known in antiquity as Ethiopia.
Classical historians and geographers called the whole region from India to Egypt, both
countries inclusive, by the name of Ethiopia, and in consequence they regarded all the dark-
skinned and black peoples who inhabited it as Ethiopians. Mention is made of Eastern and Western
Ethiopians and it is probable that the Easterners were Asiatics and the Westerners Africans. [10]
“Homer and Herodotus call all the peoples of the Sudan, Egypt, Arabia, Palestine and Western
Asia and India Ethiopians.”[10]
Herodotus wrote in his celebrated History that both the Western Ethiopians, who lived in Africa,
and the Eastern Ethiopians who dwelled in India, were black in complexion…
The vestiges of this early civilization have been found in Nubia, the Egyptian Sudan, West Africa,
Egypt, Mashonaland, India, Persia,
in ancient times Southern Asia had a Negro population ranging from the Persian Gulf to
Indo-China and the Malay Archipelago.
SPIRITUAL EMPIRE & Legacy
(https://selfuni.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/arya-dharma-04.jpg)
The Greek philosopher Xenophanes (572–480 B.C.), pointed out a profound truth when he observed

The Greek philosopher Xenophanes (572–480 B.C.), pointed out a profound truth when he observed
that the gods men worship very closely resemble the worshippers. In the words of this ancient sage:
“Each man represents the gods as he himself is. The Ethiopian as black and flat-nosed the Thracian
as red-haired and blue-eyed; and if horses and oxen could paint, they would no doubt depict the
gods as horses and oxen.” This being the case; when we find the great nations of the world, both
past and present, worshipping black gods, then we logically conclude that these peoples are either
members of the black race, or that they originally received their religion in toto or in part from
black people. The proofs are abundant. The ancient gods of India are shown with Ethiopian
crowns on their heads…
(https://selfuni.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/yusufvishnuosiris.gif)
A study of the images of ancient deities of both the Old and New Worlds reveal their Ethiopic
origin. Most of these black gods were regarded as crucified saviors who died to save mankind by
being nailed to a cross, or tied to a tree with arms outstretched as if on a cross, or slain violently in
some other manner. Of these crucified saviors, the most prominent were Osiris and Horus of
Egypt, Krishna of India, Mithra of Persia
Whatever the Aryan thoughts, if any, about “race”, by today’s standards they had one. Because
“race” in general, and the “race” of the Aryans in particular, has become such a controversial and
dogmatic issue in our time, and not to start a new dogma about “the” Aryan “race”, pictures are
provided below of how some Aryans chose to depict themselves.

These, of course, corroborate the hair texture and color given in the scriptural descriptions of Aryans, as
well as the connection of the Aryan Homelands to Ethiopian civilization.

CONCLUSION
(https://selfuni.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/arya-dharma-
06.jpg)
Aryan was a race, but at a time when race was not defined by ethnic relatedness, instead it was by
qualitative similarity. Aryans were people who shared and lived by the same ideals- noble ideals- not
who came from the same family. The very word itself denotes not a place or a family or color, but a
value, a code, a standard of conduct.
Aryan, 1601, as a term in classical history, from L. Ariana, from Gk. Aria name applied to various
parts of western Asia, ult. from Skt. Arya-s “noble, honorable, respectable… originally originally
“belonging to the hospitable,” from arya-s “lord, hospitable lord,” originally “protecting the
stranger,” from ari-s “stranger.” Ancient Persians gave themselves the same name (O.Pers. Ariya-),
hence Iran (from Iranian eran, from Avestan gen. pl. airyanam).”
This is the true Aryan concept- not that of a certain ethnicity or phenotype, but of a noble way of life:
arya/årya does not mean a particular ”people” or even a particular ‘racial’ group but all those who
had joined the tribes speaking Vedic Sanskrit and adhering to their cultural norms (such as ritual,
poetry, etc.) — as has been underlined for decades. [15]
It cannot be better stated than the words of Dr. N. S. Rajaram, who says
The word ‘Arya’ in Sanskrit means noble and never a race. In fact, the authoritative Sanskrit lexicon

The word ‘Arya’ in Sanskrit means noble and never a race. In fact, the authoritative Sanskrit lexicon
(c. 450 AD), the famous Amarakosa gives the following definition:
mahakula kulinarya sabhya sajjana sadhavah
An Arya is one who hails from a noble family, of gentle behavior and demeanor, good-natured and
of righteous conduct
And the great epic Ramayana has a singularly eloquent expression describing Rama as:
arya sarva samascaiva sadaiva priyadarsanah
Arya, who worked for the equality of all and was dear to everyone.
The Rigveda also uses the word Arya something like thirty six times, but never to mean a race. The
nearest to a definition that one can find in the Rigveda is probably:
praja arya jyotiragrah … (Children of Arya are led by light)
RV, VII. 33.17
The word ‘light’ should be taken in the spiritual sense to mean enlightenment. The
word Arya,according to those who originated the term, is to be used to describe those people who
observed a code of conduct; people were Aryans or non-Aryans depending on whether or not they
followed this code. This is made entirely clear in the Manudharma Shastra or theManusmriti (X.43-
45):
But in consequence of the omission of sacred rites, and of their not heeding the sages, the following
people of the noble class [Arya Kshatriyas] have gradually sunk to the state of servants – the
Paundrakas, Chodas, Dravidas, Kambojas, Yavanas, Shakhas, Paradhas, Pahlavas, Chinas, Kiratas
and Daradas.
Two points about this list are worth noting: first, their fall from the Aryan fold had nothing to do
with race, birth or nationality; it was due entirely to their failure to follow certain sacred rites.
Second, the list includes people from all parts of India as well as a few neighboring countries like
China and Persia (Pahlavas). Kambojas are from West Punjab, Yavanas from Afghanistan and
beyond (not necessarily the Greeks) while Dravidas refers probably to people from the southwest of
India and the South.
Thus, the modern notion of an Aryan-Dravidian racial divide is contradicted by ancient records. We
have it on the authority of Manu that the Dravidians were also part of the Aryan fold. Interestingly,
so were the Chinese. Race never had anything to do with it until the Europeans adopted the ancient
word to give expression to their nationalistic and other aspirations. [15]
If, still, a case is to be made on phenotypical similarity, then let the reader take bona fide Aryan
artifacts, and not modern fantasy art, as a guide.

Africoid features with woolly hair in the peppercorn style, while some even have dreadlocks. These

The mid-twentieth century scholar, Hamid Abdul Qadir postulates that the Prophet Dhu’l-Kifl,
meaning “the one from Kifl,” mentioned twice in the Quran as patient and good, refers to
Shakyamuni Buddha. Qadir explains that “Kifl” is the Arabicized form of Kapila, short for
Kapilavastu. It should be remembered that the consonant ‘p’ is not present in Arabic, and the nearest
one to it is ‘fa’. Hence, Kapeel transliterated into Arabic becomes Kifl.
He also proposes that the Qur’anic mention of the fig tree (At-Tin 1-5) refers to Buddha as well, since he
attained to enlightenment at the foot of one.

There are absolutely no historical records that portray Buddha as pale-skinned or even
‘yellow’-skinned.
There were two types of Blacks from Africa who created the first civilization of mankind. One was the
Nubian, who had broad features and Woolly, Nappy hair, while the other had the aquiline nose with
straight hair,(Dravidian) but both were early ddescendants straight out of Black Africa.

Pre-Buddhist South Asian society consisted of four basic groups.
1. Brahmins (priesthood)
2. Kshatriyas (the warrior class)
3. Vaishyas (the merchant class)
4. Sudras / Untouchables / outcastes, the hated ones
� These outcast in India consist of the agricultural labourers who are kept segregated in every village.
� They had to eat the carcasses of dead animals.
� They could only eat from broken plates.
� They had to tie a cup around their necks to catch their spit because it was considered to be
contaminating.
� They had to tie a broom to their rear ends to hide their tracks, since crossing such tracks was
forbidden and deemed to be polluting.
� They could only enter the other castes’ neighbourhood at night because their shadow was defiling.
� They had to clean corpses and wear the clothes of the dead.
� Their women were relegated to the function of common prostitutes.

Buddha Thailand
9th Century
The Buddha and his Buddhist teachings emerged, starting out as a type of reformist Hinduism to
eradicate this demonic system and teach enlightenment for all.

Muslim Use of the Swastika
Asiatic Muslims have been using swastikas in
calligraphy and architecture for a long time. But is
this Islamic?
First of all, the swastika is not anti-Semitic. If all you (think you) know about the swastika is that it was
used by National Socialist (“Nazi”) Germany, then be aware of two facts:
1. The swastika has been used around the world, even Sub-Saharan Africa(!) for thousands of years:
2.
3. Arabs and Ethiopians (among others) are Semites. They USE the swastika, so it can’t be anti-
Semitic:

past and present…
Makkah (Mecca)
Makka is Islam’s holiest city. It is where the Qur-an was revealed. It houses Masjid al-Haram (The
Sacred Place of Prostration) the direction to which all Muslims pray. Recently, the government
currently controlling Makka has overseen the tallest clock tower in the world (apparently overlooking
the fact that most Muslims have mobile phones to tell time with). Believe it or not, that clock, that
monument, has swastikas. Look how the white lines intersect:

Persia is much larger than modern day Iran. Basically, ‘Persia’ refers to the homeland of Persians, who

Like other post-Soviet countries, Tajikistan has taken a fresh look its history following independence
in 1991. The result is a state campaign to promote the notion that the Tajiks as a Aryan nation – and
the widespread use of the swastika. (Aryan Myth and Metahistory (http://aryan-myth-and-

The Indus River Valley civilization (mostly in modern Pakistan) is where the names ‘India’ and ‘Hindu’

As you can see from the calligraphy especially, the swastika is a consequence of lines intersecting at
right angles. Muslims have historically avoided depicting living things in artwork, so geometric
patterns are where they focused their creativity. Perhaps at least some of the swastikas are
unintentional apexes that allow uninterrupted patterns. However, some are obviously a continuation of
pre-Islamic use of the swastika by central Asian populations and their diaspora, which includes Arabia.
Which brings us to the next question:
But is using the swastika symbol Islamic?

(https://selfuni.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/crescent-swastika-3.png)
No, but neither is using the crescent moon and star, the supposed symbol of Islam.
Though the crescent was originally a secular symbol of authority for Muslim rulers, it is now often
used to symbolize the Islamic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic) faith. However, the crescent
was not a symbol used for Islam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam) by Muhammad
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad) or any other early Muslim rulers, as the Islamic religion
is, in fact, against appointing “holy symbols” (so that during the early centuries of Islam, Muslim
authorities simply didn’t want any geometric symbols to be used to symbolize Islam, in the way
that the cross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross) symbolizes Christianity, the menorah
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menorah_(Temple)) was a commonly occurring symbol of Judaism,
etc.). This is why early Islamic coins were covered with Arabic writing, but contained no visual
symbols. (wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent#Pre-Islamic_and_Islamic_uses))
The crescent, like the swastika, is a pre-Islamic symbol.
(https://selfuni.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/crescent-swastika-2.jpg)
Unlike the swastika, however, whose origins are debated, the crescent and star have clear
polytheist (mushrik/pagan) significance:
The crescent is one of the oldest symbols known to humanity. Before Islam, the crescent was the

The crescent is one of the oldest symbols known to humanity. Before Islam, the crescent was the
symbol of Sassanids and after capturing Persian lands, the crescent has been adopted by Arab
Muslims and later by other Muslims. The crescent and star also appears on pre-Islamic coins of
South Arabia.
In the 12th century the crescent and star were adopted by the Turks and since then the crescent has
been a frequent symbol used by powerful Muslim empires such as the Ottomans and the Mughals.
It is a historical symbol of the Turks, associated especially with the Ottoman Empire, but pre-
Islamic Turkic nations such as the Göktürks used the crescent and star figure on their coins.
(wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent#Symbolism))
So it’s no worse to use the swastika on a mosque, or as a Muslim symbol (it obviously can’t be Islamic)
than it is to use the crescent.
Can a Pagan Symbol Represent Islam?
Swastikas, crescents, stars, eagles, etc. may or may not be “bad”, but a government that uses a pagan
symbol doesn’t seem to be saying they represent Allah as sovereign. Coincidentally, no government is
doing a good job implementing the authority of Allah and his Messenger (sA’a&s).
“And he shares his authority with no one (Qur-an 18.26)

Decorating Mosques is a Sign of Spiritual Decline and
Materialism
“Narrated / Authority of: Anas bin Malik: The Messenger of Allah (sAaws) said: ‘The Hour will not

“Narrated / Authority of: Anas bin Malik: The Messenger of Allah (sAaws) said: ‘The Hour will not
begin until the people compete in (building) masjids (mosques).’” (Sunan Ibn Majah)
(ahadith.co.uk (http://ahadith.co.uk/chapter.php?cid=152))
‘Umar ordered that the mosque be rebuilt and he said: Protect the people from rain, but beware of
using red or yellow (for adornment) and distracting the people.
Anas said: They build mosques and boast about that, but they do not use them for worship except
rarely.
Ibn ‘Abbaas said: You are going to adorn (mosques) as the Jews and Christians adorn (their places
of worship) (Islam Question & Answer (http://islamqa.info/en/97497))
——————————
Verily the Safa and Marwa [two small mountains now located in the Masjid al-Haram in Makka]
are among the Symbols of Allah. So, if one visits the House in the Season or at other times, there is
no blame on him if he should compass them round. If any one obeys his own impulse to good, be
sure that God is Thankful and All Knowing (Qur-an 2.158)
And [mention, O Muhammad], when We designated for Abraham the site of the House, [saying],
“Do not associate anything with Me and purify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those
who stand [in prayer] and those who bow and prostrate.
And proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean
camel; they will come from every distant pass –
That they may witness benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allah on known days over
what He has provided for them of [sacrificial] animals. So eat of them and feed the miserable and
poor…
Then let them end their untidiness and fulfill their vows and perform Tawaf around the ancient
House.
That [is so]. And whoever honors the symbols of Allah – indeed, it is from the piety of hearts.
(Qur-an 22 (Suratu-lHajj))
