That's an interesting question. I think simply put, it was an adoption of a word from ancient Indic literature (by whites) that was given a euro-racialised re-invention (I believe because of the fact they couldn't get their heads around nonwhites having an advanced culture before them, so it's a very early and crude form of cultural appropriation). This then took a life of it's own in their hands (and twisted imaginations).  

Thank you for that answer too. It really is succinct.

I read this book decades ago by Tony Ballantyne. In it he sort of traces some of the development of the idea of 'aryanism' amongst europeans especially during the colonial era. They became obsessed with it, and thought these 'aryans' were their own forefathers who spread everywhere. I think having irrefutable evidence of an advanced literate culture before greeks, romans etc (i.e. whites) really confused them and their preconceptions. So their imaginations went wild.

I wouldn't buy that book though, but if you can get it free from library cautiously peruse it. Coming from where it does, the book itself will be modern orientalism. It has some informative content but also does that attempt to encapsulate and box Sikhs like all western literature on them does.

What do you think Kovid is about if not to destroy societies and refashion them into Communist hellholes called the 4th Industrial revolution or the Fourth Reich. 

Depopulation is more than deaths it also about preventing births. Hence why the birth rate has dropped to below replacement levels in most, if not all Western countries. 

if you haven't noticed you're not paying attention. 

I try to avoid the classic conspiracy theories because I'm guessing if their "secret" plans for world domination are common knowledge, it's not really a conspiracy.

Google says a people from between iran, iraq, and north india. 

I'll keep digging and see if it come up in Gurbani. 

Some people believe it doesn't actually refer to a ethnic group but rather means 'noble' or something along that line.

As an Arya Samaji I have always understood the term to mean Noble. Hence it is Not a Race as claimed by some. 

I've attached a link that provides various interpretations from the texts.

A Ukrainian woman who fled the ongoing war in her home is all set to start a new life in India.

Anna Horodetska, who was in Ukraine's capital Kyiv when the war broke out has since managed to reach India to be with her boyfriend.

Anubhav Bhasin, a Delhi High Court lawyer and Anna met for the first time in early 2020, when she was visiting India.

“We have known each other for about two and a half years. We met each other while traveling. The first time we actually got to know each other properly was just before the first lockdown in 2020,” Bhasin told IANS.....

“Finally, she applied for a visa at the Indian embassy in Poland and when it was granted, she flew to India and I proposed to her at the airport.”

Now that Anna is in India, Bhasin says they are going to get married soon and then she will apply for Indian citizenship. As of now, she has a one-year visa. “We just need to go back to get the dog whenever the war gets over,” he said.

Lol,is this from twitter? Googled that channel name no results.

Whos that Bernard Levy fella? Going by Wikipedia it seems he's been involved in every major conflict around the world including the Bangladesh liberation war. Seems like a high level operative.
