Aryan & Non-Aryan in South Asia - Evidence, Interpretation & Ideology (Hardcover)

The volume deals with the history of the concept of Arya and Aryans
in East and West, with the linguistic, textual and archaeological
evidence in South Asia and beyond. The terms Aryan and Non-Aryan,
corresponding to Sanskrit arya and anarya, can readily be shown
that among the literary traditions indigenous to South Asia have
always evoked strong responses, both positive and negative, as they
continue to do even today; but it can also be shown that while they
designate a boundary that is in some sense an ethnic one in the
Veda, in other literatures the distinction has a religious or moral
character. There have been reconsiderations and reinterpretations
of the terms within and outside of the academy. There is on the one
hand the established view of a migration of Aryans into South Asia;
on the other hand there are new voices calling the whole endeavour
fanciful, motivated by colonialism, "Orientalism", nationalism, or
something else. What is startling is that the criticism of the
status quo comes from completely different directions.
