Today, it is considered settled that the racial traits of the Indo-Aryans link them historically to that race which has had the definitive influence in the Indo-Germanic world, the northern [race].

The exemplary researches of [Egon] von Eickstedt, now evaluated in Rassenkunde und Rassengeschichte der Menschheit....

India is universally held to be the land of quiet contemplation, escapist mysticism, dreaming passivity. But whoever knows India knows that this image is onesided. It is true that the Indo-Aryans, very early in their history, turned inward with an exceptional fervor. . . . [But] the urge toward contemplation and a turn away from the world is only one side of the Indo-Aryan essence. Complementing it in a polar tension is an extraordinary activism that worked itself out ever anew through the millennia in gladiatorial battles, and in the building of temples and riches. The powerful northern blood inheritance [nordische Bluterbe] of the Aryans who migrated into India roughly three millennia before Christ did not remain concealed in India.
