Well. The politicos types may overemphasize the power relationships and react at the injustice of it. But having spent half my life in India and half in the West, I was surprised (and I am sure 99.99 percent of populations in India or the West would be) to know about this chapter in german history where there was such fascination with Sanskrit and its association with an aryan civilization. (That is assuming that the author was not overplaying this influence.)

That brings up the question - "why this silence on the sanskrit connection"? This is in spite of the fact that villain of the last century, Adolf Hitler (who is widely studied), propagandized openly the swastika and aryan superiority.
