Re: Indra – Hackers Behind Recent Attacks on Iran
#2This article completely misses context behind the name Indra for a group attacking Iran.
In Vedic Hindu texts, and in Zoroastrian texts, a great battle among Devas[1] and Asuras (Ahuras)[2] is described. In the Vedic Hindu version, the Devas won, but for some reason decided to emigrate to India. In the Zoroastrian version, the Asuras won and kicked the Devas out of Persia.
Indra was the king of the Devas. The word Deva eventually came to mean God in Sanskrit and Indra became the King of gods and God of thunder and rain.

#3It's strange that the screen shown by attackers is in Arabic and not Farsi. This would be something like hacking computers in the US and having the screen show the message in French, but even less intelligible.
Even weirder that the hackers chose a Hindu god as their mascot. If they chose it as a reference to the indo-iranian split that took place 3500 years ago, the reference is sort of misplaced as the recent conflicts in the region have to do with the Gulf states and the West, not with Hinduism.
It's infuriating - use your own religious imagery to represent your politics, not someone else's. But hey, it wouldn't be the first time a Hindu symbol was co-opted by a political group that has nothing to do with the religion.

The "migration" to India theory has been generally refuted .. it's origins trace back to the English colonizers inventing history to justify their rule.

They will keep shoveling Miller’s and other Indologists outdated supremacist ideas until Indians meekly submit and accept it.
There’s no reasoning with supremacists.

You're not wrong, but that's got literally nothing at all to do with this.

Is it Arabic? They have a shared script

#9Odd that the article doesn't mention the most likely source and implies it's likely not a nation state.. as if Indra isn't just a cover.
