Who says Germans are Aryan?

Question

I'm completely exhausted by hearing that Germans consider themselves as Aryan, they're not Aryan. We Iranians are Aryan, since WWII they're just saying lie, even their Aryan flag is ours not theirs :

I wanna know who and why says\said Germans are Aryan, their language is closely related to Persian but they're not racialy Aryan ...

[I'm ANGRY]

1st. I hate hitler ! and all those racist guys who disgraced real Aryans.

2nd. Read this :
Modern research considers “Aryan” merely in connection with the Iranians, and contemporary anthropologists who believe in the existence of an ancient Aryan "race", generally have the opinion that its closest descendants today are the Iranic-peoples. Because of its association with racism, the words Aryan and Aryan race today for many people carry negative connotations.

I know Indian also consider themselves as Aryan, the word "Iran" itself means "ariyanaam" (land of Aryans), I've no problem with this, my problem is Germans' point of view, they disgraced us, when we Iranians say "we're Aryan", everybody think that we're racist ! AH ! it makes me nervous ! Aryan means noble, those racist guys such as Hitler were 100% crazy !

I've no idea about Germany's society but all Germans I know are proudly consider themselves as Aryan, EVEN one of them is Turkish not Deutsch ! I think as Iran, Germany have an underground culture which's have value for Aryan word rather than shame, as many Germans and Eastern Europeans are still traditionaly racist ... in fact it's nothing to me, maybe even it's normal for them BUT it's annoying to disgrace others' identity by being racist and using others' name (such as Aryan) ...

plus, fortunately or unfortunately Persian and German are closely related [both two last details I've added: for eilika]

Answer 1

What times you are talking about.....

And BTW no discussion about Aryans can be complete without talking about India...

In case you are not aware The german Swastika is not so German after all...It is Hindus in india who still use the Swastika in almost every one of their religious ceremonies...

And again in India the Dravidians ( mostly Tamils residing in south india ) consier they have been displaced by the Aryans of Gangatic plane....

And again in India during the times of Lord Rama northern part of the country was called Aryaland and this was thousands of years ago...

so again what times you are talking about.

As per my knowledge atleast since last 3500 yrs India has been called the land of aryans and Iran is Persia.

Any more light on the subject is welcome.

Hitler made up his possess ideology. That's the object approximately Nazism. It did not comply with the strategies of any former character. It was once all Hitler's strategies. Hitler claimed that Russians, or anybody Slavic, was once to not be viewed "White," or Aryan. At the identical time oddly sufficient, Hitler wasn't even a German character himself. He was once Austrian. He additionally claimed that Jews don't seem to be White, which could also be peculiar given that there are plenty of Jews of German descent. Jews are a devout organization, except an ethnic organization. Then, too, oddly sufficient, Hitler referred to as his Japanese allies "honorable Aryans." He additionally claimed that his strategies had been awesome, and that the White race is awesome, however what the Nazis did to persons who they captured was once whatever however civilized. So, Hitler contradicted close to the whole thing he claimed. Anyone with sufficient anger could be a ruthless dictator.

Answer 3

As with many things, the word Aryan has, as you rightly suggest, been corrupted. It should mean people originally from the Iranian region. However, even they have mixed with nearby people, so that, altough they may be considered the closest, they are not that close. There are not many "pure" Aryans left (I use this term to mean unmixed with other people). Even so, how would you prove it?.
Another flagrant corruption is the swastika, found on many early christian inscriptions, it has been used and changed into probably the most visible representation of evil in recorded history.

Answer 4

Germans don't call themselves Aryans anymore. That word was only used in the Nazi era and basically meant "non-Jew" then. I don't know why Nazis picked that word. If any German uses this word today it is a clear sign he is a Nazi and anti-Semite. It is absolutely impossible to use this word in Germany now. I must say this is a word that makes me scared when I hear it because of the meaning it had in Nazi ideology. It is a word that got removed from the German vocabulary just like it is also impossible now to use the name "Adolf" anymore.
And the German language has nothing to do with Persian.

Answer 5

Iranians are Persians. Germans are germanic people. Italians do have some Aryan heritage and blood ties. Just look at Paolo Maldini.

Answer 6

Adolph Hitler and I sincerely hope you learn the folly of his ways.
