Economic analysis of Indian History: meaning of Aryan

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

Can any one throw the economic interpretations of the word Aryan?

 

Sociologically, the root Ar simply means man (as in Arthur), with

implications of nobility at a later stage. In accordance with the

colonial goals, Dowson (who represented the colonial view of Hinduism)

ascribes a meaning 'loyal " .

 

However, an economic implication seems to attach this word with

metals- more with Gold and even, perhaps Iron.

 

I would like the group to discuss the word from this point of view.

 

regards,
