How is this related to the apparently fictitious "Aryan race" that Hitler dreamed up?

The real Aryans were not a race, but a group of tribes.

The structural resemblance between Persian and Hindi and Latin and Greek and German led to them being called "the Indo-Aryan languages" and, due to Hitler, they are now called the Indo-European languages.

The Aryan tribes were a group of Caucasian peoples that raided and conquered modern-day Iran, northern India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Their descendants are the Persians, Punjabis and Pushtun peoples.

These peoples have lighter skin and are generally taller and lankier than other regional ethnic groups, have a large number of green and blue-eyed individuals in their groups, and have a strong military tradition.

The racial nationalists of 1930s Europe saw these peoples as fellow members of their imagined master race - cousins of Europeans who could be used as a puppet master race for Asia.

The RSS in India was a neo-Nazi organization that agitated against British rule and for Hitler.

I'd be careful with this description. The occurence of blue eyes and occasionaly fair hair in Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan have largely their origins from the Greek/Macedonians under Alexander the Great, who conquered the Persian empire, and intermarried with Persians and Baktrians.

While Persians are lighter skinned than i.e. Arabs, and often have green eyes, they are dark haired since ancient times.

The word arya is described well in ancient hindu scriptures and where the meaning of word is said one who is noble,wise and literate . It means who is civilised . If somewhere the word arya is described its the ancient hindu scriptures which is coming from prior islam, christianity or any other known religion in this world . Somebody said the Arya is fictious on which one can laugh . Its the documented word and its documented in worlds most ancient litrature itself which is vedic literature belonging to Hindus .I dont know how hitler or others started to claim on it but yes the sign of swastika is also scared for we hindus and hitler was also using that sign ..i mean if germans were in connection to that sign from far ago times then hitler or hitler just started that i dont know but that swastika sign is sacred to hindus from times immemorial .
