There isn’t a word like lebensraum in Hindi as far as I know. Zameen can mean plot of land so it could work but since we haven’t had a settler streak yet since independence a concept like lebensraum has not materialised yet. This Twitter user is an outlier even within the spectrum of deranged Hindu fascists. That’s not to say that racism against Africans is not common but people don’t talk about randomly invading a continent that is thousands of miles away.
‘zameen’ means the same thing in Persian actually. I know they’re basically directly related languages, but for some reason it always surprises me how many cognates there are.
No, it wasn’t the Persians, as “Persian” wasn’t even a thing during Proto-Indo-European times. It’s similar to calling them “Russians” or “Germans” or “Swedes”
Aryan is a loaded term to the westerners. It’s like saying Swastika is a loaded thing in the West. In the east millions of hindus/buddhists use swastika as a symbol of devotion to god/karmic cycle for 3000 years. Our marxists journals and marxist historians always write about aryan migration and etc. They themselves wrote in the ancient sanskrit that Northern India is Aryavarta , why should I change my history for a man living in other side of the world genociding jews.
how do you say ‘living space’ in Hindi?

oh in that regard we don’t have it.

because Hindi is a language based on old persian and local languages of India mainly Uttar Pradesh
Is it related to the Russian word земля?
apparently so, that’s pretty cool.
on the other hand, Persian and my language use a lot of Russian loan-words too
can’t believe Persians had so much influence in this world XD

Oh Aryans? I think these words were introduced by Aryan migration into India.
“Aryan” is kinda a loaded term, ever since a certain Austrian painter used it for his racial propaganda

not Hindi but in Dravidian languages it’ll sound loosely like
“Jeevna Jaga”
