What do non Iranians think they r Aryans?!?

Question

Iranians were the only pple who named their lands "aryan" later Persia's colonies like india adopted the name! and hilter used linguistic similiarities between persians and germans to claim germans to be aryans. Iranian kings all called themselves "Aryamehr"(sun of aryans) 2500 years ago. and arya is a very frequent world in persian names since that time on. i really beome suprised when indians claim it, coz they r drvidian ethnic, and westerns claiming it coz they r mixed and not aryans for sure. also it's a big suprise for me that many pple ignore even persian ancient places where is full of the word "aryans" on the walls! and still exist, and claim maybe because of this a theory they r aryans. for sure aryans r whom have the word in real world in their lands, not whome making funny thoeris of aryans ethnic!

Answer 1

the answer is easy. because of current iranian regime. having a bad reputation of current islamist regime in iran has let everyone to claim persians' civilization, ethnic and even lands! so u'd better think of a better regime that suggest the real persian civlization then worry about indians and germans abuse of ur ethnic and civilization. many i friends down claims that aryans were north india before persians adopt it and also aryan is not an ethnic, u can describe it like this: many still think having aryan identity means to be a racist, so they deny it. others ingonre history partially to justify their need, having a world in a book of pple who later immigrated or there's no clear historical record about them is more trustable or pple who called themselves aryans since 25000 years ago on?!

Answer 2

Because you really don't understand the true meaning of Aryan/Arya. Arya (Original meaning of Aryan) was first used in Rigvea and later in Avestan. Traditional scholarship dates Rigveda around 1700BC and Avesta around 1000BC, but they could be much more older than the dates mentioned above by the European scholars. Nevertheless, Rigveda is much older than Avesta which is composed in Northern India. It would help you to understand the history a little bit better if you read information from some reliable sources. Let me give you some:

Answer 3

Aryan was never a racial term in the ancient sources. You need to snap out of that 19th century mind-set
