What/Who is Maithili? German? Aryan? Jew???

This is a mail chain that has been doing the rounds since a couple of years.
It is a hilarious example of what happens when you put e-mail into the hands of a few software engineers who are idle and have nothing better to do. An empty mind is the devil's workshop, and an idle software engineer is the devil advocate.

Please read from bottom to Top as this is a mail chain.

We sit before the monitor staring into the pixels, making faces the
whole day like monkeys. And you claim that you are not in this monkey
business? Beats me!!

Your theory only proves that Software engineers are not aryans.Therefore they can be any thing other than aryans and not only dravidians.

dravidians.

How logical!! Now I could easily prove that even Africans are Aryans.
They have 10 fingers- so they are aryans. They have 10 toes on their
feet - so they are aryans. Thanks for proving that all are aryans.

Indians invented the decimal system. Ravan(Jew) had ten heads, Ram's
father(aryan + German)had ten chariots (Dash-rath) etc.Thus , the base
is 10. There fore they are all Indians

According to maxmuller, Aryans came from Middle East.
According to Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Antarctica was the home place of
Aryans. And Swami Dayanand Saraswati says Aryans were originally from
India b'coz the place "saptsandhav" that is described many times in
their book is nothing but Doab region between Ganga & Jamuna.
And One theory according Bhagwandas is that Aryans were originally from
India then they went to middle east and after some time they returned
back to India.So there are different theories about the origin of Aryans
but recent belief is th! at only India was their native-land.

So, at present we are at a point where MK's son is a Russian, implying
MK is a Russian. MK is a ardent follower of Ravan who is a German Jew.
Looks like the german govt running Karnataka(see our previous
discussions for a proof of it) is conniving with the Russian govt at
Tamilnadu (who support German) to fight the Italian Govts reps at 10
Janpath road. Some heavy international politics we have going on here.
Wat's d'ya say man!!

Say this to the DMK and they're gonna kick u!! according to them ravan
was a dravidian and was attacked by ram as ram was an aryan.
So if ram was a german, and assuming he was a 'hitlerite 'aryan, then
ravan must have been a jew!!!

No, on the contrary it proves that Ravan was a German since it was he
who owned the Pushpak Viman. The passengers could belong to any country.

After defeating ravana .... Sri Rama flew back in Ravana's pushpak
vimana & This is what the Mordern Lufthansa is . It is the modern
version of the older pushpaka vimana.
The pushpak vimana was "driven" by hansa or swans....
The insignia of Lufthansa is also a swan...
This further proves Sri Rama was a German Hail Rama ....

God Shiva is also a foreigner because
Mt.Kailash is in China. Buddha was also a foreigner because
Lumbini(?) is in Nepal. So was Guru Nanak, because Talwandi is in
Pakistan. So was Porus. So was Gandhari.....:)

Maithili is a language which derives it's name from the region in Bihar
where it is spoken, the old kingdom of Mithla. There is a reference to
the area even in Ramayana- Janak( Father of Sita) was king of Mithla and
has been referred to as MithlaNaresh at many places in RamCharitraManas
- therefore Sita was also called Maithili.
