Book Description
Excerpt from Indo-Aryan Thought and Culture, and Their Bearing, on Present Day Problems in India, an Argument From the Standpoint of a Native of That Country The aim of this study is not so much to bring to light new data as to interpret some commonplace facts from the history of Indo-Aryan culture, the full significance of which is not, in my judgment, properly appreciated nor made use of in dealing with the present day problems of India. The cause of some of India's most acute economic and political problems is to be found in the unique Indo-Aryan mental evolution, which has crystalized into an almost "fixed attitude" of the Indian social mind, and which supports some of her deep-rooted institutions. These institutions were formed long before foreigners exploited the country, and to the tyranny of these institutions the population still cheerfully submits, almost unconsciously, I maintain, in spite of the "new spirit" which is doing so much today for the regeneration of the country. What I mean by a "fixed attitude" of the Indian social mind and an unconscious homage to ruinous customs even on the part of the most educated amongst us, I shall try to make clear in the course of this study. The lack of full appreciation of these simple facts has created, on the one hand, an unnecessary prejudice against an intelligent population, in consequence of which the British government has committed some serious administrative blunders. A failure, on the other hand, to reckon with these facts on the part of our own political and social leaders has led them into prisons or to the gallows. I cannot subscribe to the attitude of the haughty English civilian and the Western scholar who, with an incomplete knowledge of ethnology, maintain that the dark skinned races of India are degenerate products of a tropical clime, unfit for prosperous economic institutions and incapable of constitutional self-government. Such an attitude is based upon the innate prejudice which the European has against the dark skinned races and tropical climes. It is based upon superficial knowledge of the stamina of a population acclimatized to hot regions, well qualified to exploit the natural resources of such places, and yet held in check by predominantly psychological factors. Such racial prejudice once extended to all Asiatic races, but Japan having redeemed the Mongolian race from the stigma, the calumny is now directed at India alone.

Book Description
Who were the Aryans? Where did they come from? Did they always live in India? The Aryan problem has been attracting fresh attention in academic, social and political arenas. This book identifies the main traits of Aryan culture and follows the spread of their cultural markers. Using the latest archaeological evidence and the earliest known Indo-European inscriptions on the social and economic features of Aryan society, the distinguished historian, R. S. Sharma, throws fresh light on the current debate on whether or not the Aryans were the indigenous inhabitants of India. This book is essential reading for those interested in the history of India and its culture.

Book Description
The history and mechanisms of the convergence of ancient Aryan and non-Aryan cultures has been a subject of continuing fascination in many fields of Indology. The contributions to Aryan and Non-Aryan in India are the fruit of a conference on that topic held in December 1976 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, under the auspices of the Center for South and Southeast Asian Studies. The express object of the conference was to examine the latest findings from a variety of disciplines as they relate to the formation and integration of a unified Indian culture from many disparate cultural and ethnic elements.
