That common lineage (allegedly) was the Caspian Steppe, near the Caucasus mountains (hence 'Caucasian' race). It's all mostly BS. The origins of these languages and peoples (and any connecting links) are not well understood yet, there's just not enough data. Even the most well accepted 'hypotheses' are full of holes.

By the way, let's not malign Nietzsche by handing over his "Übermensch" term to this 'aryan' nonsense. Nietzsche would have died of rage if he knew how the Nazis hijacked this term.

Unlike Germans, Indians and Iranians are actually Aryans, so it's not much of a leap for many Indians who have a Caste-like mentality to wholeheartedly embraced with the whole Nazi Aryan project which places themselves as top of the hierarchy.

Some history, the whole Aryan Übermensch traces back to Linguistics when it was identified that Proto-European language shared a common lineage back to India from the Aryan peoples. This created a theory that these 'Aryan' peoples were a master race that brought culture and civilization to the world. That belief is why the Nazis adopted Indian symbolism like the swastika and even sent expeditions to Tibet to meet the Dalai Llama believing them to be Aryan brothers who were mongrels but Aryans nonetheless.

That's actually a populist theory. Unlike Iranians who are homogeneous , present indians can clearly be divided into so called "Aryan" & Dravidian. In popular indian notion, Aryans are fair tall strong built people. If you see even in North India, majority people don't fit that narrative except kashmiris & probably Punjabi peoples.
The linguistic part comes from the theory that pre-vedic era & ancient persia was sister culture. You will even find in indian notion that,the god of zoroastarian religion, Ahura Mazda, is actually the form of asuras that were killed by gods in hindu dharma. But that doesn't make even the "ancient" indians genetically "aryans" unless they accept the fact that there has been large scale migration from other place.

Something else cooking up?

I am sure they will find a way. Ironically, a lot of the tools the US developed to help people circumvent China’s great firewall may be used to instead circumvent the Indian, and potentially soon American bans on Chinese apps.

on another news -


thats 14 billion off the market value with a single singature...

It's funny because the Chinese are often compared to the Jews, and we now have Indians wanting to commit a Rape of Nanking atrocity as well as comparing themselves to the Waffen-SS. Are we going to complete the analogy with Indians wanting to dump Chinese into labor camps with gas chambers attached?

I am trying REALLY REALLY hard to like India, Indian civilization, and Indians. Why do you have to make it so hard?

Please don't use the words "indian" and "facts" in the same sentence.

As for the actual 'facts', the term "market size" = Users x Revenue.

Here's the report on India's actual market size: "India’s 90% growth is bettered only by China, but the level of revenue being generated is so low as to barely register on the scale of this graph."

Didn't the news media report the PLA took control Black Top and Helmet Top?

Click to expand...

There have been many conflicting Indian reports. Not only do these reports contradict each other, they often contradict themselves even within the same report. For example, this claims China crossed the LAC and took over Black Top and Helmet Top while also showing a map with both clearly marked on the Chinese side of the LAC. This other also accuses China of being the aggressor, but claims that India somehow "pre-empted" China, and brags about how India was able to avoid the Chinese cameras and surveillance equipment on the LAC to get to these areas before the "Chinese reaction in the wake of the action by its own troops".

Reading between the lines of these Indian reports and also taking into account the official Chinese statements, my guess of what happened is that India was able to evade Chinese surveillance equipment on the LAC for long enough during the night to get enough of a head start that they managed to get to the ridge line just before or around the same time as the PLA troops sent in response after the Indian movements were finally detected by China. As a result, both Indian and Chinese troops are now occupying different parts of the ridge tops. If this is the case, it is a small win for India. While neither side have full control of these ridge tops, India is now able to contest Chinese control in areas that were completely denied to them before due to Chinese advantages in surveillance and transport.
