Re: Meaning of Aryan: now, "white people"?

What Kelkar has done would get him blackballed from
academia, if he were a professor instead of a bean
counter or whatever he does. Not only is it loathsome
and dishonest, but he does himself a disservice

idea. Any theory built upon mistruth and sustained by
lies is destined to the dustbin of history. This kind
of nonsense is what sustained the nazis.
