# Hitler was a bit mad
and randomly decided they were blonde and blue eyed.

In reality they were (and still are, to a degree) a definitely darker-skinned race from nothern India.

# Nah
The first group to invade India were the Aryans, who came out of the north in about 1500 BC. The Aryans brought with them strong cultural traditions that, miraculously, still remain in force today. They spoke and wrote in a language called Sanskrit, which was later used in the first documentation of the Vedas. Though warriors and conquerors, the Aryans lived alongside Indus, introducing them to the caste system and establishing the basis of the Indian religions. The Aryans inhabited the northern regions for about 700 years, then moved further south and east when they developed iron tools and weapons. They eventually settled the Ganges valley and built large kingdoms throughout much of northern India.

# much of this is true
but that doesn't change the fact that they ain't blonde, blue eyed or particularly white.

# indeed
The idea of blue eyed blond Aryans was not suggested by Hitler, but by the Nazi philosopher, Alfred Rosenburg. He had a fondness for the blue eyed blond Nordic people. He thought that if Aryans are superior, why not identify them with the Nordic people. Thus, the compounding of many errors shifted the idea of Aryans by leaps and bounds.

Got to love google ;)

# Of course
If you ask an Indian/Pakistani historian, they'll be more likely to say the Aryans WHERE the Indus/Harrapan people, and it was them invading and settling out of India that spread Indo-European language, technology and religion to Iran and Europe. That's not the accepted intepretation by Western academia, but it's (not surprisingly) very popular in South Asia, where the entire concept of the Aryan Invasion is viewed as essentially being European propoganda.

# You are so right
however, it does appear that Sanskrit did arrive with people from the West. Of course they may have come from Central Asia or from the Middle East but I'm more inclined to believe the Western academics version, simply because of the cultural explosion that happened in that part of the world after the arrival of Sanskrit.

# No, I agree with you too
Although, er, technically the accepted view among Western historians and linguists is that the Proto-Indo-Europeans did come from Central Asia, around about the north-east of the Black Sea, and spread out from there to Europe in the west and Iran and India in the south-east (The Wikipedia article on Indo-European languages has some pretty good maps that illustrate the theory well).

I was merely pointing out that the theory popular in South Asia is that they came entirely from India, and that there was no invasion at all - just saying that there's always another viewpoint, especially on something as emotive as history ;)

# "the other"
might have been a better phrase than aryan.

I can't hear the phrase without thinking Nazis.

But your idea is amusing though.
