Correct me if I'm wrong, but Hitler borrowed the term "Aryan" from a caste system/society, did he not? My understanding is that's why he's quoted as saying things like how Japanese people have Aryan hearts, because it's a matter of spiritual purity, not ethnicity.
I feel like time has divorced us from context.
I am Darius, the great king, the king of kings The king of many countries and many people The king of this expansive land, The son of Wishtaspa of Achaemenid, Persian, the son of a Persian, 'Aryan', from the Aryan race "From the Darius the Great's Inscription in Naqshe-e-Rostam"
It how we call ourselves as a race, and yes we were responsible for the caste system and civilization in India.
