Aryanism and Indology

HAM5401 – The idea of an Aryan “master race” has an enduring hold on the racist imagination. But when and how did the concept arise? This course shows how nineteenth-century German Indologists such as Friedrich and August Wilhelm Schlegel fostered the image of the Aryans. The emphasis in this course is on understanding how Indology is essentially linked with Aryanism: the discourse on Aryans underpins all efforts at the dating of texts and periodization, including the history of Indian and explanations of Hinduism.
