The german interest in Samskritha and "Aryan" theories was inspired by their feeling worthless during the colonial times when the British and the French dominated the scene. They tried to lay claim to any greatness they could find. One of them is the Vedic heritage. The other was the Olympic heritage of the Greeks which Hitler tried to appropriate (there was a PBS documentary on this).

The german unificaton in 1875 was a a result of enlightenment during the colonial period. One of the reasons given is that they discovered aryanism.

The psychological transformation to imagine oneself as Aryan is key to the whole phenonemonon of adopting aryan religion and language.


Now they are willing to completely disowe the origin in India.

The current revival is because they want to bring unity and nationalism because of assult on german identity due to islamic immigration and EU identity problem.
