@Nagendra: You are right...the word 'Aryan' is quite a loaded one and has raised a lot of controversy... some interesting facts here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_race For a more comprehensive discussion about the etymology of the word 'Aryan' and its racial and linguistic implications through the centuries, this: https://www.quora.com/Who-are-the-actual-Aryans-Europeans-Iranians-or-Indians But definitely the biggest controversy surrounding this grew in the late 19th century and reached its peak in the early and mid twentieth centuries with the rise of the Nazis who claimed that they were the the true Aryans, the master race as distinguished from Semitic people, mainly Jews, but also Syrians, Greeks, Armenians and Turks... the Holocaust was, in some senses, the culmination of this myth
I do read Quora articles... but how reliable it is...
missed to mention claims by Central Asians ( Including Soviet Union countries mainly Russians ) says they are true Aryans and people migrated from their land to other parts of Asia and Europe... not to sure which one is correct...
Yes, not too sure about the reliability of all of the Quora articles...neither is Wikipedia...yes Russians too are in the mix...the way the term has been used/abused, it is difficult to deduce anything with certainty

nice article on Jesse Owens...
Racism is everywhere.... Even Indians suffered... But blacks are suffered most... now baton is taken by Muslims...
Now things are better... But everything will change only once we feel we all are Humans and nature/god gift....
It has depicted Jesse Owens's struggle beautifully.
