Āryas
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
We examine the impact of the current colonial-racist discourse around Hindu Dharma on Indians across the world and prove that this discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from our cultural heritage. |
By Swami Harshananda
Āryas literally means Cultured People.
The word does not indicate any race. It refers to the cultured and refined people against the Dasyus, the evil ones.
