Climate change and Bronze Age collapse bring steppe Proto-Indo-Europeans into Iran and India, giving rise to Zoroastrianism and Hinduism in Jiang’s later-course setup.
Yamnaya migration was not only European; Jiang says it also moved into Iran and India, where mixing with local customs and religion helped create Zoroastrianism and Hinduism.
Jiang says multiple religious traditions, including Buddhism and Hinduism, share the same underlying conception of ultimate reality despite local differences.
Jiang says IVC people pushed south and merged with local animism, creating Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and many other religions.
Jiang summarizes Hinduism as a system in which this world is false, Brahman is true absolute reality, karma binds the Atman to many lifetimes, Dharma cleanses the soul, and Moksha liberates it back to Brahman.
Jiang says Brahmins gatekeep Hindu spiritual progress because only they understand Dharma, so being good is not enough without priestly mediation.
Jiang describes the Hindu hierarchy as priests/Brahmins at the top, warriors and kings below them, farmers and merchants below that, and servants and laborers at the bottom, with skin color also differentiating the system.
Jiang says Proto-Indo-Iranians centralized power through Hinduism by placing themselves in the priest class.
