It is well know that Jai Maharaj is notorious on the internet for posting
irrelevant messages to most newsgroups and I was going to ignore him but due
to the amount of response I would like to make a guess.
I remember reading some book that discussed how Hitler and Nazi party got the
idea of Aryan supremacy since the only other group that call themselves aryans
are the Hindus of India. I do not have the reference but it was claimed that
after WWI and the heavy reparations burden Germans had lost their moorings and
the best scholars of the time resorted to studies in the obscure languages
which did not require much funding. Their studies became popular with the
masses since it helped them forget the inflation and worries of the third
reich just as Hindus to this day keep talking of their past to forget their
present.
