Mohan - most of us in india are in fact aryans. The fact that hitler liked the word and the Swastika does not mean that we have to ashamed or afraid being aryans and using the swastika. I had several friends (Americans) over for Pooja when I moved into my new house a long time back. We ahd Swastikas all over the place. ANd they were very inquisitive and amazed that swastika preceded Hitler by thousands of years.

May I ask to whom are you referring to when say 'Aryan'? I meant Indo-Aryans. The author Bhagwan S. Gidwani , is of the opinion that Aryans and Sanskrit originated in India and dispersion took pace taking the Aryans and Sanskrit to other parts. He supports his argument by stating that the Aryan writings do not have any reference to their homeland, if they came from outside India. He believes that these dispersed Aryans went westward to Iran, Europe etc, got married to local people and brought themselves and others back to India. All these things happened between 8000 BC to 5000BC in his considered opinion. Karma and Moksha concepts existed then. As I said earlier in another post, singular devotion to a particular God, namely Bhakti, was a South Indian concept. Rig veda is placed around 1500BC. As I get more info, I will post. JPR
