Each Vedas are divided into four major categories (i.e., Samhita, Brahmanas, Aryanakas and Upanishads). The last part of each Vedas is called Upanishads, which means “Sitting Next to a Teacher”. This part is also known as Vedanta (i.e., the last part of the Vedas).
There are 108 Upanishads, 13 of which are the principal ones. The Upanishads contain various ideas related to the Yajnas, body, and Universe, but most of the ideas are related to Atman and Brahman.
The oldest Upanishads are in prose, but the later ones are in metres. The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad and the Chhandogya Upanishad are among the earliest Upanishads. The early period of the Upanishad belongs to the period c. 1000-500 BCE. These texts mark the first clear reference to certain key ideas and practices related to the Hindu and other roots of Indian philosophical and religious traditions.
It is considered that the Upanishads are the compilations of different authors from different parts of Northern India over the centuries.

Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” (1925-1926) is one of the most horrifying statements of his anti-Semitic thought and the policies most inspired by that which the Nazi regime would carry out. Prejudice system is the main concept around which this book is based and is employed by Hitler as the basis of his superior race theories, hatred for Jews, and territorial expansionism.
Specified Racial Thoughts in “Mein Kampfff”
1. Racism and Aryan Supremacy
That true he presents a clear racial structure known to contemporary world, placing dominion of all races in the Aryans, mainly Germans as the “master race”. He defines them as being superior culturally and ethnically and biologically as well as being preordained to govern.
From this concept of the pure race he derives his call for eugenics, a strict segregation of the Aryan race, as well as the extermination of those he considers to be sub-human.
2. Antisemitism
The war against the Jews occupies a great portion of the book, this is the main topic of “Mein Kampf”. To Hitler, Jews are the worst form of racial enemies since they are accused of all the political, economic and the cultural crises in Germany.
As most scholars of early 20th century would agree, he propounds the idea that Jews are conspiring to poison the Aryan race, and taking over the world. These groundless conspiracy theories are ideology of the Holos-code itself.
3. Social Darwinism
– Hitler distorts Social Darwinism further arguing that race struggle is characteristic of the history of humanity. He regards this as a reason for war and the annexation of foreign territories and the enslavement, or outright elimination, of supposedly ‘inferior’ races.
He also painted Slavs, Roma and others as enemies who would cease Germany’s progress.
4. Increase of People (Bevölkerungsanstieg)
He ties racism to his idea of ‘Lebensraum’ an ideology that supports the invasion of the East with the aim of providing the Aryan German with land. In this regard, he seeks to replace or wipe out the so-called inferior races of people, the indigenous people.
Power of Racism within “Mein Kampf”
See lessThe racist notions contained within “Mein Kampf” were immediately reflected in the policies of the National Socialists under Hitler’s regime. These resulted in organized oppression and slaughter of millions of Jews, Roma, disabled people, and several other marginalized communities in the course of the Holocaust. In addition, the aggressive expansionism fueled by the degree of book ideology was responsible for triggering the outbreaks of World War II, and hence, it spread much suffering across the globe.
