Are you talking about the Aryan Invasion theory?

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

No that's a far right modern day myth that Aryans "originated" in India and then moved north. It's based on hitler's bullshit.

I'm talking about the reality of dark skinned people who lived there for thousands of years. And then were invaded and turned into a slave caste

Phew, that makes a bit more sense. Still, I haven't really heard this set of events before, and I'm Indian. Anything I could see for further info?

I mean that article is already pretty in depth...

But it should give you enough to Google for more info on your own.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
