@georgia That's a bizarre way to define what happened. I kind of see what he's getting at but also very wrong lol

@georgia I tend to favor medieval Europe and modern European derivatives of the IE tradition that are critical of axial age revolutions, but yes. He was most likely mirroring the common sentiment of those European thinkers: That India preserves an Aryan lineage but it's degenerated.

It's not an uncommon perspective but to say Indians "departed from God" is an unnecessarily provocative and anachronistic way of putting it. The most complete Western analogue we have are the Greeks and they hardly stayed true to some "original" Aryan praxis either. That's not how anything works.

@georgia I looked through your reply history and if it's the self hating Indian then Idk if it has anything to do with that actually. He might just be a schizo or have some weird unattested mish mash ideology (Indians unsurprisingly tend not to understand their own tradition very well unless they're professionally schooled somehow)
