Talk:Max Müller

Max Muller despite his mistranslation, racism, is glorified in this article
We Indians who understand Sanskrit and English alike can see what a blasphemous mistranslation Muller has done. Yet there is not a single mention of how his translation was funded by the British Empire to demean Indian Cultural Heritage. Anyone seeking an English Translation of the Vedas should strictly avoid Max Muller works.

There should be mention that the word Arya means a man of good conduct, a respectable man and not a race as popularized by fake Muller propaganda leading to Hitler's atrocities and Indian Cultural appropriation misrepresenting Indian symbols like swastika, etc.

Rigvedic people identified themselves as Arya. A whole area was called Aryavarta. Do you really think only Noble people lived there? The earliest inscriptions evidence for the word(Arria) is not from India but from Iran. The Word Iran itself is a cognate of Arya. The word ‘Franc’ in French means honest, sincere. If you look at the etymology of the word, you can clearly see the term was originally intended to be the name of a tribe which later become honest/sincere etc. Only common sense is required to realise how meaning of names can be manipulated to convey racial superiority.

What ever I have said is information available on the page Arya ChandlerMinh (talk) 11:39, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

“It is  here  argued  that  ari was  the  designation  of  the  tribal  chief among the early Aryans, there being only one ari in a given jana or tribal unit. In early clashes with the Dasyu-s this older tribal  leadership  stepped  aside  and  yielded  place  to  their  youthful  and militant descendants (sons or grandsons), who are designated in the RV by the terms arya andsūri. The ari chiefs, continued  to  hold  a  position  of  power  in  the  tribes,  mainly  owing  to  the  fact  that  the  wealth  of  the  tribe,  which  in  the  main  consisted  of  its  cattle  and  other  livestock,  was  traditionally  under  their  command. In course  of  time  they  began  to  adopt some  aspects  of  the  settled  way  of  life  of  the  Dasyu-s  (frugality  and  regular  agriculture, perhaps)  and,  in  consequence,  also  some  of  their  ritual  practices. Angered by  this  policy,  and smarting under the loss of prestige that it entailed, the r̥ṣis, the spiritual mentors of the Aryans,  began  to  oppose  the  ari — and one  of the principal expressions of this offensive was  the  Indra  cult  and  the  call  to  action  which  it  implied. This was  addressed  almost  exclusively  to  the  more  youthful  members  of  the  arifamilies,  namely  the  aryas. These protégés of the r̥   ṣi-s are depicted as ever eager to win or wrest the ari’swealth, with which they  then  dealt  in  a  characteristically  lavish  style. The r̥    ṣi-s  sought  to  consecrate  these  militant aryas with kṣatra (ritually bestowed right of rulership), and to get them chosen as rājans in the tribes, thus replacing the ari with a leadership that vigorously supported the policy of Aryan expansion. ” — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.220.94.93 (talk) 16:17, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
