Answer 1

Racial theories and pseudo-science continue to be vigorously employed today by the Vatican and other Western evangelist enterprises in their ongoing campaign to harvest souls for Christianity. But it is not only in the remote corners of the Third World where the unexamined "truths" of Max Muller and his missionary-scholar contemporaries are still used as weapons of propaganda. Aryan Race Theory is alive and well in the United States.

The lies of Aryan Race Theory are as useful for white supremacists today as they were for the Christian missionaries a century ago in their campaign not only to convert the infidels but also to justify the colonization of "heathen Hindoostan."

And do not forget their allies in India the Communist Historians who twist history for advancing their own agenda.

First it has to be Hindii because the term only implies the geographic region much like Italic used in the term Italic Hand only means Italian. The swastika as you call it, is backwards and is to this day a character used even in Kanji, mostly by Buddhists for; Well Being!

As for grand notions that white Aryans are the be all to end all in Indus history this too is a narrow simple minded view. Aryans from what is known had to have dark hair and thick eyebrows which does not fit with Occidental or Cucasian features!

Also Ayans were not so blantently successul in there invasions and conquests as you imagine. A simple proof of that is the origin of the word Devil. The regional peoples worshiped Devas and did engage in very brutal reprisals and vendettas! As a result of the bitter conflicts the Ayrans as a slurr or curse word expression would call a perons they intended to insult a deva worshiper which eventually got shortened to devil!

Ghandi once said,"what do I think about Western Civilization: I think it would be a good idea". This is actually a reflection on all so-called Civilizations, in the sense that we all are striving to be truely civilized, a term that only applies to a very tiny minority of so-called educated men and women. As for the scholars quest to paint with a black or white brush, this isn't scholarship at all, just another racist game!
