It interprets "Is it not something, also, that you all—our Arian friends—should be told, intensely as it may disgust you, that this Arian Bengali—whom, uncivilly and un-ethnologically, you have been in the habit of calling a "Nigger,"—is, stubbornly as you may kick against the conviction, your Elder Brother:—one who, much as you may glory in being descended from certain pig-herding Thegns or piratical Norse Vikings, is, in very truth . . . the representative of the pure Arian stock, of which you are a mere offshoot . . . whom it is your duty to treat with mercy, justice, and forbearance;—as you will have to answer for your dealing with him to the God and Father of us all." in the context of "(Blackwell 1 856, 548) quoted in Bryant, E. F. (2001). The Quest for the Origins of Vedic Culture : the Indo-Aryan migration debate. Oxford University Press. ch 1" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
