Quotes
The Westerner who returns to India no longer recognizes his cradle. I am well aware that these Hindus are Aryans of our stock, our brothers; but we are brothers who refuse to reach out in one another’s direction. We are too different. Too many millennia divide us. We said farewell to one another too long ago.
—G. Gozzano, Journey to the Cradle of Mankind quoted in Dorothy M. Figueira, Aryans, Jews, Brahmins: Theorizing Authority Through Myths of Identity, New Delhi, Navayana Publishing Pvt Ltd. (2002), Reprint 2017
