[QUOTE]Originally posted by coolnight: [QB] ''some people are using the concept of I-E as a source of racial pride when we are talking about two different populations'' Yes this is right. This is why there is so much nonsense regards this Aryan/Indo-Aryan topic online that it is hard to get a clear understanding of even the basics of who these terms refer to independently because you have two very ethnically different groups South Asians and Europeans using the same terminology to describe themselves. Europeans with there understanding/usage of Aryan introduce a new concept Indo-European which further confuses things for someone who is objectively looking to understand who the Aryans/Indo-Aryans were. Then you have two sides south asians and europeans using the term in relation to there own ethnic groups history. Both of whom are ethnically different groups. On top you have people some of whom claim the term Aryan and understand it only as a linguistic term. Others in relation to there ethnicity to modern day/past ethnic groups. With two different groups using the term to argue two totally different histories it has become overused, manipulated and ambiguous. Lost meaning. If both parties were arguing over the same people it would not be so hard to understand. However with both south asians and europeans relating the terms to themselves/ there own ancestral history this whole thing is a mess to understand. When south asians discuss the aryans you have the europeans who have there input in the topic and when europeans discuss the aryans you have the south asians claiming europeans have nothing to do with them. Whole thing is a mess because there is no clear cut clarity or understanding between both groups on whom which ethnic group/region the other is referring to when they talk about the Aryans. Yes for some people there is a source of racial pride. Some people have a kind of emotional attachment to the history of there region/people. This can sometimes not allow people to see things for what they are. I guess it is only natural to some extent. I have read Europeans argue over who has the most Indo European genes/admixture as if that is somehow a source of pride or not pride for them or as if somehow having more indo european genes/ancestry makes them more ethnically european. Anyway the genetic impact europeans have made on south asia is all I really wanted to understand. I concentrate on the ancient times as most european admixture in south asia is likely of ancient origin. I really find the ASI interesting. They are said to be a group unique to the subcontinent. Even little is known about the ANI. Who knows what mysteries they hold. I feel genetics is in a primitive state. Maybe one day when geneticists know more they will be able to enlighten us about the history of this region until then I guess a lot of things remain speculation. At least that is the impression am getting from a lot of the anthropology forums I have frequented. But then again race/ancestry is a very sensitive issues for some people which can cause a lot of discord on these anthropology threads. I guess I will have to wait it out to see if any new findings come to light about the ancient history of South Asia. [/QB][/QUOTE]
