This Brahminical assertion is less a claim on the Aryan and Vedic legacy than an ingratiation of old WASP Brahminhood. I have never seen such an egregious specimen of aspirational ethnography. LARPing would be the wrong word for it because its associations are with play and joy.
Indians do have a genuine, ancient and living connection to the ur-tradition of the Indo-European peoples, to which they are entitled to some measure of real pride, and yet their diaspora somehow manage to reduce this connection to the level of ethnic careerism. Remarkable.
Look here at this prissy pearl-clutching about Fenians and Tammany Hall, which they have deduced from 4chan posts attached to Bill the Butcher images to be things that Anglo-Americans are still exercised about. Their seething and ingratiating social-climbing go hand-in-hand.
The people who call you a brown 'third-worldist' for having a moral objection to Palestinian men, women and children being starved and murdered will seldom acknowledged that the Brown mind at its most abjectly Indian is not far off them on this matter.
Picture a certain Canadian with a David Koresh profile pic in a Tim Hortons surrounded by Hindutva adherents saying 'at least they're not Third Worldists'.
