Iranians are not Arabs. They are Indians and should revert to Hinduism

[metanoia]

Aryans are not Arabs.

The two terms refer to distinct linguistic and cultural groups that originated in different regions and speak languages from different families: Aryans are associated with Indo-European languages, while Arabs are associated with Semitic languages.

Key Distinctions

• Linguistic Families: The ancient "Aryans" (Indo-Iranians) spoke early Indo-European languages, which are the ancestors of modern Persian, Hindi, Sanskrit, and most European languages. Arabs speak Arabic, a Semitic language, which is related to Hebrew and Aramaic.
• Geographic Origins: The ancient Indo-Iranians are believed to have originated from the Central Asian steppes and migrated to the Iranian plateau and Northern India. Arabs are indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East.
• Cultural Identity: The name "Iran" literally means "land of the Aryans," and Iranians have historically used this term to define their non-Arab identity. Modern Iran is a non-Arab country, although it has a small Arab minority population (about 2%).
• Modern Misuse: In the 19th and 20th centuries, the term "Aryan" was misused by Western scholars and later adopted by the Nazi regime as a pseudoscientific racial concept to refer to a supposed "master race" of white, non-Jewish people, which is a false and racist ideology not supported by historical or genetic evidence.

In summary, despite some historical interaction and geographic proximity, Aryans and Arabs are considered separate and distinct peoples based on history, language, and genetic ancestry.

Iran is last time Persia ... no NehNehLand ... why need to convert Persians to Ceca?

 

[jsctan]

They are indians
Maybe Pakis ? Muslim deh..

Regardless of their previous religion, they adapted to Arab culture to integrate into the Arab world.

Well....they do share distant ancestral roots with Northern Indian but...

---------------
No, **Iranians and ancient Persians are not ethnically from India**.

The ancient Persians (who built the Achaemenid Empire, ~550–330 BCE) and modern Iranians are **ethnically Iranian** (part of the broader **Iranian peoples** branch of the Indo-Iranian group), **not Indian**.

### Quick Linguistic & Genetic Breakdown

| Group | Language Family | Ethnic Branch | Genetic Origin (simplified) | Key Homeland (ancient & modern) |
|------------------------|--------------------------|------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------|
| Ancient Persians | Old Persian (Iranian) | Iranian | Indo-Iranian steppe migration (~2000–1500 BCE) | Iranian Plateau (modern Iran) |
| Modern Iranians | Persian (Farsi) + others | Iranian | Same steppe + local Elamite + other admixtures | Iran |
| Ancient Indians | Vedic Sanskrit | Indo-Aryan | Same steppe migration but southern route | Indus-Ganges plains (India/Pakistan) |
| Modern North Indians | Indo-Aryan languages | Indo-Aryan | Steppe + Indus Valley + South Asian hunter-gatherer | North India |

### Key Points to Understand

1. **Shared Ancestral Root** (but very distant)
- Both Persians and many Indians descend from the same **Proto-Indo-Iranian** people who lived on the Eurasian steppes ~4,000–3,500 years ago.
- This group later split:
- One branch → **Indo-Aryans** → migrated to northwest India/Pakistan (~1500 BCE) → Vedic culture.
- Other branch → **Iranians** → migrated to Iranian plateau → Medes, Persians, Parthians, etc.

So they share a very distant common ancestor (like how Germans and Indians share Indo-European roots), but **they are not the same ethnicity**.

2. **Genetic Evidence** (2020s studies)
- Ancient DNA shows Persians had significant **Iranian Neolithic farmer** ancestry + steppe ancestry + some Elamite (pre-Iranian local) mixture.
- North Indians have steppe + Indus Valley (Harappan-related) + South Asian hunter-gatherer ancestry.
- Modern Iranians cluster genetically with other Iranian peoples (e.g., Kurds, Pashtuns, Tajiks), not with Indians.

3. **Cultural & Historical Separation**
- Ancient Persians and Indians were already distinct by ~1500 BCE — different languages, religions (Zoroastrianism vs. Vedic), and empires.
- The Persian Empire conquered parts of northwest India (Gandhara, Punjab), but Persians did not become "Indian" and Indians did not become "Persian."

### Bottom Line
- Iranians (ancient & modern) are **ethnically Iranian**, not Indian.
- They share a **very distant common steppe ancestry** with Indo-Aryans (ancient Indians), similar to how English people and Hindi speakers share distant Indo-European roots.
- Saying "ancient Persians are from India ethnicity" is **incorrect** — it's like saying "ancient Greeks are from Italy ethnicity" because both are Indo-European. Close cousins, but different branches.

The confusion sometimes comes from outdated 19th-century theories or nationalist claims, but modern archaeology, linguistics, and genetics clearly separate the two groups.
