Aryan in hindi

Aryan is probably one of the most misused and abused words ever to come out of the field of linguistics. What the term Aryan actually means and what it has come to mean are two vastly different things. Unfortunately, errors by some scholars in the 19th and early 20th centuries brought about its association with racism, anti-Semitism, and hate. The first Indo-European language, known as Proto-Indo-European, likely originated around 3500 B.C.E. in the steppes north of the Caspian Sea, along the modern border between Central Asia and Eastern Europe. From there, it spread across much of Europe and south and central Asia. The most southerly branch of the family was Indo-Iranian. A number of different ancient peoples spoke Indo-Iranian daughter languages, including the nomadic Scythians who controlled much of central Asia from 800 B.C.E. to 400 C.E., and the Persians of what is now Iran. How the Indo-Iranian daughter languages got to India is a controversial topic. Many scholars have theorized that Indo-Iranian speakers, called Aryans or Indo-Aryans, moved into northwestern India from what is now Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan around 1800 B.C.E. According to these theories, the Indo-Aryans were descendants of the Andronovo culture of southwest Siberia who interacted with the Bactrians and acquired the Indo-Iranian language from them. Some Hindu nationalists today refuse to believe that Sanskrit, which is the holy language of the Vedas, came from central Asia. They insi...

आर्य का अर्थ : आर्य का अर्थ श्रेष्ठ होता है। कौन श्रेष्ठ? वे लोग खुद को श्रेष्ठ मानते थे जो वैदिक धर्म और नीति-नियम अनुसार जीवन यापन करते थे। इसके विपरित जो भी व्यक्ति वेद विरूद्ध जीवन यापन करता था और ब्रह्म को छोड़कर अन्य शक्तियों को मानता था उसे अनार्य मान लिया जाता था। आर्य किसी जाति का नहीं बल्कि एक विशेष विचारधारा को मानने वाले का समूह था जिसमें श्‍वेत, पित, रक्त, श्याम और अश्‍वेत रंग के सभी लोग शामिल थे। आर्य कोई जाति नहीं बल्कि यह उन लोगों का समूह था जो खुद को आर्य कहते थे और जिनसे जुड़े थे भिन्न-भिन्न जाति समूह के लोग। इस प्रकार आर्य धर्म का अर्थ श्रेष्ठ समाज का धर्म ही होता है।... सायणाचार्य ने अपने ऋग्भाष्य में 'आर्य' का अर्थ विज्ञ, यज्ञ का अनुष्ठाता, विज्ञ स्तोता, विद्वान् आदरणीय अथवा सर्वत्र गंतव्य, उत्तमवर्ण, मनु, कर्मयुक्त और कर्मानुष्ठान से श्रेष्ठ आदि किया है। वाल्मीकी रामायण में समदृष्टि रखने वाले और सज्जनता से पूर्ण श्रीरामचन्द्रजी को स्थान-स्थान पर ‘आर्य’ व 'आर्यपुत्र' कहा गया है। विदुरनीति में धार्मिक को, चाणक्यनीति में गुणीजन को, महाभारत में श्रेष्ठबुद्धि वाले को तथा गीता में वीर को ‘आर्य’ कहा गया है। महर्षि दयानन्द सरस्वतीजी ने आर्य शब्द की व्याख्या में कहा है कि 'जो श्रेष्ठ स्वभाव, धर्मात्मा, परोपकारी, सत्य-विद्या आदि गुणयुक्त और आर्यावर्त देश में सब दिन से रहने वाले हैं उनको आर्य कहते हैं।' आर्य कौन : पशु, पक्षी, वृक्ष आदि भिन्न-भिन्न जातियां है उसी तरह मनुष्य भी एक जाति है जिसकी उत्पत्ति का मूल एक ही है। जाति रूप से तो मनुष्यों में कोई भेद नहीं है परंतु गुण, कर्म, स्वभाव व व्यवहार आदि में भिन्नता होती है। कर्म के भेद से मनुष्य जाति में दो भेद किए ज...
