Aryan bangar: Use of Aryan to

Use of Aryan to designate a "white non-Jewish person, especially one of northern European origin or descent" entered the English language from German, [1] after this meaning was introduced in 1887 and further developed by German anti-Semitic propagandists in the context of a so-called " Aryan race". [21] . Aryan is a designation originally meaning “civilized”, “noble”, or “free” without reference to any ethnicity. The Aryans were an Indo-European group whose arrival in the Indian subcontinent around 1500 BCE fundamentally transformed the region’s cultural, linguistic, and religious landscape. “ Aryan ” traditionally refers to speakers of Indo-Iranian languages, a branch of the Indo-European language family. Theories include the Pontic-Caspian Steppe (modern-day Ukraine/Russia) and Central Asia as the Aryans ’ place of origin.
