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)
