Before the British came all the agrarian and pastoral communities used to claim descent from, and kinship with, Rajputs.

More from that article: Not only is Aryanism a relic of nineteenth-century European thought with an ignominious legacy, but its Iranian variety is a symptom of an entrenched complex of inferiority, a desperate attempt to be something other than a "mere Iranian." This complex is rooted in a...

Iranian identity Fascinating article

Prove it. And if you (obviously) can't then don't make such spurious claims. It's far more likely that Iran is a corruption of the word Eran found in the Sassanid inscription. Their dates are from 224 AD to 651 AD. Are you now claiming that the mythical "aryans" sprung up in this period...

And don't forget the "Scythian link" post in this thread on Jats. As well as posts on the mythical "Aryans" and showing maps as "proof". LOL

You first prove where I called you a brit, a paki, or an nri clown? I am addressing a mentality which ascribes foreign ancestry to several communities/clans.

Since you brought in "paki mentality", it needed to be explored thoroughly. You brought in Scythian link and made spurious claims on foreign ancestry of "some" Rajputs.

Yeah, as foreigners. But not as founding fathers of entire communities as the Brit/paki/nri clowns like to claim!

Official paki govt claims on history So the Paki mentality is the continuation of cock-and-bull British theories which @pmaitra subscribes to.

So do the Pakis! They believe the mythical Aryan theory as well as the Scythian theory. Rewriting of history was done in the Colonial occupation of India. All the anti-India forces since then are united in propagating these foreign invasion theories: pakis, leftists, missionaries, and some...

Myth of "Aryan" race February 7, 1935 The dogma of the “Aryan” race, which recently has burst like a shell upon an astonished world, though formulated on a view of racial affinities fundamentally obsolete and a biased interpretation of archaeological fact, with the aid of the mystic symbols of...

Pakis claim foreign ancestry. As do you. So you're already infected with paki mentality. Indian mentality is to assert indigenous origin.

No they don't. Awwww. Friends of yours were they?

Unless the mythical aryans made these maps, they have no value.

Another reason why a few educated folks from agrarian and pastoral communities believe foreign theories is that it gives them a leg up over the traditional narrative, which they term "brahmanical". The mass of Jats, Meenas, Ahirs, Yadavs, Gujjars, etc don't have any tradition of foreign...

The "intellectual races" and "mercantile races" played their part in serving British interests. It is the hypocrisy of NRI traitors, who serve in foreign companies, and live in countries that always were anti-India, to then pass remarks on Indians under British rule.

The historian CV Vaidya traced the ancestry of the Jats to Jartrikas or Jartas, residing in early times in the vicinity of Sakala and who are mentioned in the Mahabharata. Generally the British civil servants followed the "Absence of evidence is evidence of absence" line, as in, if these...

I believe the "Jathera theory" was also propounded in the same 19th century period. The first indigenous attempt at tracing the Jat origin comes from a Jat Sanskrit scholar and Raja of Beswa, Aligarh, Pandit Giribar Prasad. He employed a Sastri named Angad Sharma to find the origin of the Jats...

Rajput ancestry has already been discussed in this thread: Rajput origins from Panini times kshatriyas

What are the original community traditions of Jats? Before the British civil servants concocted their pet aryan/scythian theories? From Mathura a district memoir: whatever may have been the status of the Jats in remote antiquity, in historic times they were no way distinguished from other...
