Answer 2

Explanation:

the officiating magician or priest excites himself to frenzy, and then pretends or supposes himself to be possessed by the demon to which worship is being offered, and whilst in this state he communicates to those who consult him the information he has received. The demonolatry practiced in India by the more primitive Dravidian tribes is not only similar to this, but the same. Every word used in the foregoing description of Shamanite worship would apply equally to the Dravidian demonolatry; and in depicting the ceremonies of the one race we depict those of the other also..

The Aryans are a colonial myth introduced to emphasize that the arrival of the colonies was just another "invasion", that the European "Aryans" were here by 1500 BC, that the continent used to be ruled by invaders. It was said, that the first Europeans brought horses and chariots and the art of warfare to the subcontinent, that the real people of India - the "Dravidian tribals" were primitive barbarians incapable of civilization.
