AS RACE OR LANGUAGE |

Meanwhile all the changes in
ancient India were defined by this conflict of racial or linguistic groups,
and ignoring all other factors of social change.
This idea of a monolithic cultural group chauvinistically promoting
ethnic and linguistic purity is the product of nineteenth century
colonial thinking. It mirrors nineteenth century European racial
views of humanity, in which dark-skinned people were regarded
as inferior and used as slaves. It is quite different than the Hindu and
Vedic view that the One Being masks itself in numerous names and forms which are all ultimately
the same. Such a monolithic group is incompatible with the image of
the Aryans as nomads, who as a scattered and disorganized group
could not have had such a uniform idea of their own identity and been
able to impose it upon a larger population of more civilized
peoples.
