[quote=Anonymous]Oh, and following up on how the Aryan invasion theory is [b]never, ever, ever[/b] mentioned in exclusively linguistic terms in popular culture? Yeah. If you 're going to go there, you may also want to acknowledge the fact that it's completely bound up in racial identity in popular culture, [b]not in academic or scientific culture[/b], and this is reflected in the fact that the Persians decided to call their country "Land of the Aryans", despite the fact that "Aryan", in Sanskrit, refers to nobility of character [i]or[/i] social status, never racial origin. To this day, Arabs and Iranians think they're "Aryans", as do a bunch of white supremacists. So you and previous PP bringing up Aryan invasion vs Aryan migration in a thread where 1) yoga appeared as a system [i]after[/i] the early migration periods of Vedic India, and hence not related, and 2) we are discussing racist attitudes, white privilege and cultural appropriation...is just amusing.[/quote]
