INDIA
Taj Mahal, tiger and exotic Hindu festivals - there are many moving impressions to be had in India. The significance of this large country with its population of about 1 thousand million people can only be understood if in all the colorfulness you consider its history: during the New Stone Age the Indian natives probably lived in extensive pieces of land and were constantly being assimilated by Dravidian tribes. The Dravidian tribes lived in a comparable culture in Mesopotamia or Egypt. Probably around 2500 BC the Dravidian experienced invasions by Indo-European tribes in particular the Aryans. They advanced across the mountain passes along the north-west border of the realm on the subcontinent and with time occupied the majority of the area north of the Vindhya hills. Traces of the Aryans can be found in Sanskrit where the term arya meaning 'noble' crops up and in the Middle East where the Mesopotamian Mitanni kingdom in the 14th and 15th century BC had an Aryan upper class. | The Aryan culture dominated the autochthonous people and could be the reason for the caste system in India. National socialism which always managed to misinterpret historical aspects in order to foster their own plans, also used Indian history to make a race ideology which is based on supposed traditional Aryan superiority. This came to a peak in the pursuit and later mass murder of so-called non-Aryan people during the Second World War. |
