Actually “Aryan” meant only the Indo-Irani branch of the Indo-Europeans. So only north Indians and Iranians (”Iran” is from “Aryan”) are Aryans - not Germans, or other Europeans
Hindi is a language. Hindu is a member of the Hindu meta-religion.
India wasn’t “invaded” by the Aryans. Rather, looking at the archaeology, it looks similar to the Sumerian-Akkadian case.
that is - the Indus valley/harappan civilization was Dravidian (formed by Iranian origin farmers and related to Sumerians and Elamites speaking related languages) and spoke Dravidian languages and were city dwellers.
teh Aryans were nomads who traded between teh cities.
After climate change in 1400 BC, the Harappans moved south and abandoned their cities - the cities show no signs of destruction - and the ones remaining were assimilated into the “Aryans”.
Just the same happened a millenium earlier to the Sumerians being absorbed by the Semitic speaking Akkadians.
The "Aryans" are Indo-European speaking Caucasians.
The "Dravidians" like Tamils, Telugu etc. are Dravidian speaking Caucasians.
But there are other ethnic races in India - the Mon-Khmer in pockets in the north-east alongside Tai-Kadai (related to Thai/Laotian) and Burmese related speakers.
And of course the Andamanese - the first people out of Africa and related to the people in Papua new guinea and the australoids.
Dravidians have caucasian (H, L and J2) genes but are darker skinned
Tell that to the angry guy with the mustache.
Mustache guy’s racial theories were insane:
1. he acknowledged that gypsies were pure Aryan, but he still killed them
2. he held that Slavs were untermenschen still he allied with Croats
3. he held that the non-Aryans were lower, yet allied with Hungarians and Japanese.
