Hitler and India – The Aryan Race

“How has the dejection come to you at this juncture? This is not fit for an Aryan. It is disgraceful, and it does not lead one to heaven, O Arjuna.” ~ Lord Krishna in Holy Book ‘Gita’

Hitler, the evil dictator was responsible for the death of millions of innocent people, just because they did not fit his distorted and evil vision of so called ‘pure race’. We all know that Hitler and Nazi Germany wanted to propagate, what is often quoted as, the ‘Aryan race’. The term ‘Aryan Race’ and its meaning are often mistaken or distorted from what it really stands for.

Here are some of the key facts:

  • Aryans are the original speakers of the Indo-European languages. According to the most common definition, Aryans originate from the ancient Indo-Iranians, Indo-European peoples who inhabited parts of what are now Iran, Afghanistan, and India.
  • The word ‘Arya’ is found in Hindu religion and in Sanskrit, and it refers to the upper crust of ancient Indian society, or a noble person.
  • A German scholar has also linked the Indo-Iranian Aryan with the German word ‘Ehre’ meaning “honor”.

However, according to what Hitler and his Nazi regime believed, the Aryan descendants are supposedly a sub-group of the Caucasian (White) race. Hitler wanted to put forward this Aryan race as the ‘master race’ or ‘supreme race’.

According to a leaflet from 1929 Nazi propaganda in German, “The Aryan race is tall, long legged, slim. The race is narrow-faced, with a narrow forehead, a narrow high built nose and a lower jaw and prominent chin, the skin is rosy bright and the blood shines through …. the hair is smooth, straight or wavy – possibly curly in childhood. The colour is blond.”

In fact, the Aryan race that Hitler aimed for was a ‘pure white’ race from north Europe; he believed it to be the highest representative of mankind.

Part of India, especially north India, was most likely inhabited by descendants of Aryans or Indo-Aryan race, according to the true definition of the term. However, the master or supreme race that Hitler called Aryan, has nothing to do with this link of Indian civilization.

The truth is, Hitler was a white supremacist and wanted to propagate only ‘pure white’ race that excluded Jews, Gypsies and anybody with physical or mental deformities. His definition of Aryan race had nothing (or very little) to do with actual origin of Aryan race.

Also, as far as the Indian connection to Aryan race goes, Hitler’s definition totally excludes modern day Indians from his so called supreme or master race. Based on the ‘aryan looks’ he desired, we – the Indians of today – do not qualify for his narrow criteria.

Hitler was not a big fan of brown or dark skin, actually quite the opposite. His definition of non-Aryan included Jews, Asians and Africans. For example, his dislike of the black athletes during the 1936 Olympics in Berlin was widely reported. Albert Speer, One of Hitler’s minister recollected in his memoirs titled ‘Inside the Third Reich’, “…He (Hitler) was highly annoyed by the series of triumphs by the marvelous colored (meaning ‘black’) American runner, Jesse Owens.”

So, no matter how you look at it, Hitler’s definition of ‘Aryan race’ was distorted, manipulated and misrepresented during Nazi Germany era. In fact, the term Aryan race is used totally wrongfully by Hitler, just to fulfill his own evil agenda of racism. That is a sad truth.

During Word War II, Hitler was an enemy of our enmey, but he was no friend of the human race, or Aryans for that matter!

      On reports that Hitler had deliberately avoided acknowledging his victories, and had refused to shake his hand, Owens recounted:[11]

      “When I passed the Chancellor he arose, waved his hand at me, and I waved back at him. I think the writers showed bad taste in criticizing the man of the hour in Germany.”

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Owens

      Owens also stated how he could ride on the buses in Germany and was treated well as compared to the USA. What Speer said is irrelevant since he was in the enemies hands which makes his “confession” useless.

      “A people grows from god’s will. Woe to him who wishes to destroy the peoples and make people alike. God created the trees, the bushes, the weeds and the grass not so that they could merge into one species, but that each should exist in its own way. §Just as a tree, a people grows as a living whole from similar roots, but becoming one, the strongest of its kind. §All of the same blood belong to it. A people knows no state boundaries. It is bound by the ties of blood that bind all the sons of a single mother. The German people is a nation of a hundred million. Each German belongs to it, no matter where he may live. §A people cannot be destroyed as long as its roots draw on the strength of the earth. Summer and winter may come and go. But it always blooms anew in indestructible life and perfects itself in the strength that rises from its roots towards god’s will. §What does it mean when an individual dies? It is as if the wind blows leaves from a tree. New ones grow eternally every spring. §The peoples are the greatest and most noble creation of god on this earth. There is no institution in the world, no party and no church, that has the right to make them the same or to rob them of even the tiniest bit of their individuality.”

      Yeah, how terrible. Hitler wanted to destroy money power, and return the value and worth of an individual as to what he could do for his fellows, and maintain the individual destinies of the various peoples. That is evil apparently. Well we have had 60 years of living in the “victors’” world. Can you hear the approach of Lord Krishna? Hitler said he wasn’t the one, but when he saw the true evil around him, child prostitution, starvation, lies, that he could not wait. Impatience was his only sin.

      I think this article hits the nail on the head – we as indians have always been curious when we see swastika and the word “aryan” as, certainly for many hindus, these things are synonomis with our dharma. the question of “was hitler for or agains india and indians” becomes clearer when the concept of “aryan” meaning
      “noble” is differentiated from the distorted and perverted definition adopted by nasional socialists.

      When I was in India, I never had a problem in admiring Hitler. Now I’m in US, I can see what kind of a monster is he. Hitler is one man who brought the entire humanity to the brink of absolute slavery. If he had succeeded in his wars, the world would have been a terrible place to live.
      I salute all those dead soldiers [American, British, French and others] who died in fighting the evil forces of Hitler.
      To this day, there are still some people who believe in his theories. The only saving grace is 2011 is not 1933. Never ever admire this monster or anyone who talks of greatness or superiority of their religion or culture or race. They all belong to the same brand of Hitler but only a shade less than the Hitler. Beware and always be on guard.

      The Ayran race Hitler meant was of a blond hair blue eyed hybrid or what the bible termed Nephallim — fallen Angels (demonic) and human race hybrid. The Ot tells us that Satan and the rest of the fallen angels after they were casted out forever from Heaven came to earth and started to breed with daughters of men – human women. The brought forth hybrid or superhumans called Nephallims who had supernatural powers many of them and the fallen angels were blond with blue eyes.
      They terrorised the old ancient world and the children of Israel e.g Og King of Basham.

      Aryans as a rce never existed, fact, so aryan invasion is a myth, but just look at the datings to know max muller was paid to distort the truth abotu the vedas and harrapan civilisation. So, lets not forget that the teachings in indian schools are from western books so thats why indians have this insecurity when it comes toexpressing themselvwes outside india!

    9. Howard

      Absolutely biased article. If Aryans are the speaker of Indo European Languages, then German is an Indo European Language and Germans are Aryans. Just like north indians. This is a very shallow article without any proper research. Why did Hitler’s henchman Himmler send a delegation of German researchers to Tibet? It was to explore the roots of Aryans.

      These kinds of immature articles all over the internet has actually made some people believe that Hitler was fighting for the white race. There is nothing called white race, white people are divided into many many sub categories like Nordics, Alpines, Mediterranean even east European Slavs etc. There is nothing called white race.

      If Hitler fought for white race, why did he attack France and declare war on United states? Why did he attack Russia where majority of the people are having white skin color?

      Problems with today’s people is that they have become used to easy knowledge, clicks, wikipedia etc.. The value of books is going down. If you research with correct tools, only then you would find the truth.

      vry nice and intersting. . . .my all concepts ar nw clear toward aryan race and indo german connection

      In India Hitler is admired for his resoluteness, steadfastness and clear program.He is admired for his public works programs and his kindness towards animals.

      People also say that he dressed neatly and had a clean hairstyle and clean habits and a good sense of aesthetics.
      Parents, teachers and many others in India spoke very approvingly of Hitler and his constructive works.

      While studying in India, we were taught that he was the only person who garnered the industrial and military capacity to break the back of the British empire and that he nearly destroyed Bolshevism for good. You will not be censured in India for speaking approvingly of Hitler or openly admiring him. On the contrary many Indians will join you in praising most of what he did.

      Only in the US he is reviled to the extent that he is.

      We Indians constantly feel that we need bring about massive changes in our country and subcontinent with a similar figure who wields unlimited power and has unlimited energy to bring about massive change.

      One thing everyone has to know that the origin place of Aryans was northern territory (Arctic region). And from that region they migrated to southeast regions and some European regions. So in that context Hitlers description was true.

      howard, you hit the nail on the head. the op makes it seem like they are distancing themselves and india from AH. this is not what my dad, a staunch hindu taught me! germans and aryans, himmler going east etc. anybody can put some unfounded none sense on the internet and then..taa daa….it’s real! the legend as my dad said it, AH sent his folks out around the world, come back with something credible to make us great! india with all of its mystisism had the best…the swastika and the great aryans.

      vishnu, you put how my dad put it! ok AH wasn’t a good man but if you looked at his achievements and some of his ideaolgy…a leaf out of his book must be taken. the british treated the indians was absolute dis-respect (i’m not aying the germans would have been any better…i’m the sure they wouldn’t), the bolshevism/communism goes completely against the grain of hinduism.

      the op makes it seem like india needs to apologise for being guilty by association…it;’s just the opposite!! india is GREAT! so great that some donkey european took parts of it (history/identiry/beliefs) and turned it for his own purpose and idiots followed it! AH had the last laugh…not at us but the naive donkeys who believed him!! we just happened to be the golden blade he used.
