राधास्वामी के संस्थापक शिव दयाल जी महाराज का कोई गुरु नहीं था, हुक्का पीते थे, व्यर्थ नाम दीक्षा देना शुरू किया, "राधास्वामी" जैसे मनमाने नाम गढ़े। उनके शिष्य बाबा जयमल सिंह ने शिव दयाल जी से बिना किसी आदेश के ब्यास में एक डेरा शुरू किया और बिना अधिकार के दीक्षा देने लगे। राधास्वामी पंथ दुनिया भर में लाखों लोगों को गुमराह कर रहा है। यह एक तथ्य है।

Historical notes on Armand’s cultural background in the show

In the interest of not playing fast and loose with South Asian history and geopolitics, I have, to the best of my ability, compiled this guide on Armand as a character in the historical context of the regions and periods he is associated with. I am not an expert on these things, so anyone more educated than me is welcome to suggest edits. Probably the most complex topic here is language, and so that is the section in which I most likely made errors.

While I do have some formal academic training in this area, I must emphasize again that I am not an expert, nor am I native to any of the countries listed here, so I am functioning mostly on outsider knowledge. In the interest of making this accessible, most of this information can also be found on Wikipedia with a quick google search. This is not definitive or exhaustive, but it is meant to encourage people to be conscientious about not slipping into Orientalist thought or discourse when discussing the character (or ever, obviously). Also please remember not to conflate the character and the actor. This may also serve as a tool for fic writers.

Content warning: discussion of slavery/slave trade

(Main content below the cut)

Period and Region

India

Armand tells Daniel in s1e7 that he is 514 in 2022, meaning he was either born or made around the year 1508. He tells both Louis and Daniel that he is from Delhi, or was at least in Delhi when he was abducted. Delhi is a city in Northwestern India that sits on the border between the states of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. (There is an Old Delhi and a New Delhi. These two cities abut and overlap one another. Armand refers to Old Delhi.) Therefore, Armand would have been living in Delhi during the latter years of the Delhi Sultanate, which was an empire of Islamic dynasties that ruled Northwestern India from the late 12th century until the Mughal conquest in 1526. (The Delhi Sultanate also pushed expansion into the south and the east during various periods throughout its reign. Its main opponents were other Muslim kingdoms along with Hindu kingdoms, especially in the south.)

Italy

Armand would have been living in the Republic of Venice during the height of the Venetian Renaissance. Like the Delhi Sultanate, the Republic of Venice was also in its later years during this time, but, although the Republic did face economic and political unrest during this period, they remained the richest city-state in Italy. Marius was a Venetian painter, a contemporary of Tintoretto, according to Armand in season 1. Tintoretto lived from 1518 to 1594. Whether the painting Daniel is examining in the episode was painted before or after Armand’s arrival in Venice is unclear, but we can assume that he was living in Venice as Amadeo in the early decades of the 16th century. The Republic entered its full fledged decline in the 18th century, by which time Armand would have been in Paris.

Language

In India

Armand most likely spoke an early version of Hindustani (likely Hindavi) while living in Delhi, although, according to the books, Armand has mostly forgotten his native language by the time Marius buys him. Hindustani first developed under the Delhi Sultanate, and is still spoken today. Its two main branches today are Hindi and Urdu. (Many other languages are also spoken in India today, including English, Punjabi, Tamil, Bengali, and many more. Sadly, not all of these languages enjoy legal status.)

Armand may have also spoken a dialect of Western Hindi, which was commonly spoken in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, and is an ancestor of Hindustani.

Hindavi and Persian were the official languages of the sultanate.

Hindavi is the most likely due to his region, period, and his Sanskrit name, Arun. Sanskrit is an Old Indo-Aryan language from which many later Indo-Aryan languages are derived. (Sanskrit names are still common in South Asia.)

In Italy and France

However, as mentioned previously, Armand forgets his native language early in life. Therefore, it is unclear whether he counts it among the languages he speaks when he tells Daniel that French was his fifth language.

While in Venice in the books, Armand is trained in classical Latin and Greek, and often communicates in Greek, which was also the canonical language of Eastern Orthodox which he practiced in the books before his abduction. Italian and Venetian were also spoken in Venice at the time, so it is likely that Armand picked up both of those while living there. Even if he only picked up Venetian, he would have learned Italian while living with the Children of Darkness in Rome. Venetian, Italian, and Latin were the official languages of the Republic of Venice.

He tells Daniel that he learned both French and English while living in Paris (making English his sixth language).

Religion

In Dehli

The Sanskrit name Arun also suggests that Armand was from a Hindu family living in Delhi. While having a Sanskrit name does not necessarily preclude his being Muslim, it is just more likely that he was Hindu. The majority religion in Delhi during the sultanate was Hinduism, while Islam was practiced mainly by the elite, although conversion was common. The state religion of the sultanate was Sunni Islam. Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, and Zoroastrianism were also practiced in the sultanate.

Sanskrit is the canonical language of both Hinduism and Buddhism, but Buddhism was facing persecution during this period, and therefore becoming increasingly rarer in the north.

We can assume that Armand was devoted most likely to Hinduism, or possibly one of the others listed, as Armand is deeply religious in the books.

In Dubai, Venice, and Paris

We do see Armand praying according to Islamic practice in season 1. Even more confusingly, Daniel points out that the phrase “asr namozi” is not Arabic, but perhaps Kazakh. “Asr namozi” is actually an Uzbek phrase referring to the asr prayer, or “afternoon prayer,” in Islam. Why Armand would be speaking Uzbek is lost on me, as nothing else in his history necessarily suggests ties to the region. It could be part of his Rashid disguise to somehow misdirect Daniel. Whatever the case, as a highly intelligent five hundred year old vampire, I’m sure Armand could learn any language he wanted.

While Armand may not have practiced Islam during his life in Delhi, it is entirely possible he later converted. If Armand was Hindu, it would also make sense that he lapsed out of practice in Venice, as, in the books, Armand loses almost all ties to his native culture while in Venice (his name, his language, his religion, etc.) at least partially due to Marius’s influence. Marius’s beliefs are closely aligned with western humanism, and so he discourages Armand from complete devotion to religion. The state religion of the Republic was Roman Catholicism, but Eastern Orthodox, Protestantism, and Judaism were also practiced. There was also a small Muslim population, mainly Ottoman merchants.

The “Children of Darkness,” the vampire cult which kidnaps Armand in Venice and which he later leads in Paris, follows Catholic teachings. In the book and in the show, the cult’s obsession with Satan is explicitly Catholic. Satan is also an adversarial figure in Islam (called “Iblis” or “Shaitan”), so if Armand was a practitioner of Islam before, he likely would have been able to syncretize those beliefs and practices with those of the Children or Darkness. However, by the time Lestat finds Armand, he has lost faith (if he ever had it) in the teachings of the Children of Darkness. The last is true of both the show and the novels.

In the novels, Armand alternates between periods of religious fanaticism and zealotry and total atheism, so it would make sense that, along these oscillations, he would also move between different religions, trying to find the right one. In the books, after Armand meets Lestat, he enters a period of atheism that lasts well into the twentieth century. If the show is following this sequence, then it is likely that Armand’s praying in front of Daniel is just part of his disguise. However, the show clearly is not following the novels’ timeline to a T, so it is also entirely possible Armand is genuinely praying in this scene.

Slave Trade

(Disclaimer: Slavery is, unfortunately, ubiquitous across cultures and time periods. While slavery is deplorable in any context, the intent of this post is not to make moral judgements about any one culture. It is simply to discuss the possible historical context of a fictional character. We ought to condemn slavery wherever we see it, but we ought not to view it as pathological to one culture or another. Slavery is still practiced in various forms today (wage slavery, convict leasing, illegal human trafficking, etc.) Slavery serves a capitalist market, but it can create revenue in other systems as well.)

Slave trade was a major economic practice under the Delhi Sultanate, with the enslaved most commonly being of Turkic or Hindu origin.

(From the Wikipedia page on “Slavery in India.”)

Enslavement of Muslims was far less common under the Delhi Sultanate (although many enslaved people converted to Islam), and so this, again, suggests Armand was most likely a Hindu.

Slave trade was highly regulated under the sultanate, and private slave trade was essentially banned. The exporting of enslaved people on the international market was an important source of revenue for the sultanate, especially during military campaigns. (Slavery continued in the Mughal period, but in somewhat different contexts.)

Therefore, Armand was likely a young Hindu who was abducted in Delhi with sanction from the state and sent overseas to be sold on the international market, landing him in Venice.

However, it is also possible that Armand was abducted by Venetians, as the Republic often sent merchant ships to foreign countries, including India, during this period. The Republic also had many trade outposts and territories in various central and west Asian cities. I am unsure whether this type of trade would have been considered legal or permissible under the sultanate.

In the books, Armand is abducted by the Ottomans and taken to Constantinople/Istanbul to be sold. This is a less likely possibility for the show, given the shift in region.

PERSONALITY:

Myers-Briggs Type: ENFP (The Campaigner)

Enthusiastic, and determinant: Apart from others who have a serious perspective on reality, Aditya more likely has a hopeful approach to it. He believes that life is all about challenges and the best you can do is to keep moving forward, without anything preventing you from achieving your goals respectively. This makes him the opposite of Arjun, who has no hope and looks at reality from a darker perspective.

Is able to study others well: Aditya has one trait, to study what the other person's feeling. His mother, who was a doctor taught him about body languages and how the person reacts or behaves when they're uncomfortable. Aditya is able to notice internal or external discomforts among fellow commandos which makes him empathetic towards others.

Has a jolly nature, is pretty chaotic: Aditya is a fun guy to hang out with! Especially when he has Yuvraj by his side, oh boy. You're going to have a fun ride with this one. If you ever see him being kind of chaotic, it's just Aditya being himself, don't worry!

Looks like a cinnamon roll, but could kill you: Aditya sure looks very sweet at first, but if anything happens to his friends, his enemies are going to have a hard time ahead. He's as dangerous as Arjun if provoked. One time, Yuvraj was badly injured under the hands of the enemies, which scarred him deeply and it grew a rage inside of him, killing every single existing militant that almost killed his friend. This behavior even scared Arjun! But thank goodness, Yuvraj was back in one piece, and the job was done.

BACKGROUND STORY

Aditya Tripathi was born into a Gujarati family, his mother being a doctor and his father a wealthy businessman in trade. He decided to follow his passion in the field of healthcare, just like his mother, wanting to treat and heal people in their hardest times. He used to observe how his mother treated patients and kept note of every single procedure in case someone else faced the same issue. Things were going well so far, as Aditya also surpassed every single challenge, which further led him to pursue one of the top medical colleges to complete his doctor’s degree.

But due to an unfortunate event, Aditya had to drop his medical studies as he wasn't able to pass his exams with full intent. With that, he felt his dreams of becoming a doctor were completely shattered. Worse, his father was not happy with how Aditya failed his exams and insisted that he should rather help him in his business. This strained his relationship with his father, leading him to stress, depression, hopelessness, and the urge to call himself a failure at times, something his mother noticed. She tried to assure Aditya that things would be okay and that something better might be awaiting him.

Aditya went on a trip to Himachal Pradesh with his friends, who wanted to cheer him up. They had stopped near a restaurant for a break, but internally, he was already planning to give up his dreams to support his family in case he couldn't accomplish his own. But just then..

An accident occurred outside the restaurant, making Aditya and his friends rush outside to see what had happened, two soldiers were making their way to the cantonment area, but their bike had slipped, causing them to sustain injuries. Aditya quickly rushed to one of the soldiers who had a wound and immediately pulled out the medical supplies he had brought with him in case of an emergency. Within a few minutes, Aditya was able to help them recover quickly, as the soldiers were incredibly pleased by his actions. One of them looked at him and said;

"You're a quick one, young man. You could be a combat medic here and save many lives like this."

These very words from the soldier's mouth were enough not just to encourage Aditya but to help him find a new purpose. Failing his exams didn’t mean it was all over; he could still keep trying and evolve into something even better. He never forgot that day, and later on, it even sparked the urge to join the Indian Armed Forces. He could still make his parents proud by doing something extraordinary, and this realization filled him with absolute encouragement and determination.

Aditya didn’t tell his parents he was joining the army. Instead, he lied, saying he wouldn’t return home until he had achieved something greater. He enlisted in the Army Medical Corps, hoping to find a new purpose after his failure in medical school. But later on, his real dream was to become a Combat Medic in the PARA SF. Despite the silence and distance from his family, Aditya was determined to rise above his past and prove himself.

Before becoming a commando, Aditya had to endure the selection process of the special forces — the probation period where most candidates fail. It's all about the mental and physical pressure placed on you as you pass through every single test, but Aditya was able to keep going. He also saw many candidates desperately holding on, not wanting to give up, and Aditya encouraged them, which gave them a slight boost. The one thing about Aditya was that, even in the toughest times, he was able to keep a smile on his face.

The time came when Aditya had finally passed the selection process and completed his training at the Commando School. There, he also met Yuvraj Chaudhary, another aspiring soldier who, like him, dreamed of becoming a commando. Together, they graduated, earning their maroon berets and performing the glass-eating ritual to conclude the celebration. After completing the medical course and successfully passing it, Aditya felt like a new person. The one who had once dreamt of becoming a doctor was now a commando, proudly holding the responsibility of being a Combat Medic.

The moment he came back home, his mother opened the door and saw that her son sure wasn't wearing a doctor's coat, but a camo uniform. That didn’t disappoint anyone, it made them cry tears of happiness, that their son was now a soldier for the frontlines.

"Told you, Maa. Your son would come back only when he becomes something. And here I am.”

Even his father shed a tear, quickly wiping it away, proud to see his son finally accomplish what he had set out to do. Feeling regretful for his past disappointment, Aditya comforted him, saying he was glad that if it weren't for his anger, he wouldn't have come this far.

As they share a heartfelt hug, this is where Aditya's journey begins.. when he becomes a part of the Shatrujeet Unit.

re: dietary requirements on the subcontinent i always think about how eating halal food (that is, food that has been ritually slaughtered, referred to as 'kutha') is explicitly prohibited for amritdhari sikhs, like there is no other outright dietary restriction in sikhi as far as i understand. just a big red line that says NO HALAL MEAT !! lacto vegetarianism being the 'aspirational' diet for any pious sikh, with some going so far as to say that it should be the 'only' diet for sikhs (this is deeply contested) but regardless people are generally in agreement that halal meat must be avoided.

but avoiding halal meat is really not possible when you live in a country where the vast majority of meat is required by law to be halal, and you are a tiny minority group, so my family has never followed this rule and i only learned about it via sikhs in canada who came direct from punjab where this rule is ubiquitous and easy to follow. not just that, but my family generally loves meat lol to the point where one of my cousins deciding to be a vegetarian (not for religious reasons) caused a "problem" for my grandparents. her mother is punjabi via india and raised vegetarian there, where as i understand vegetarianism is associated with status and purity, but her father (was) my uncle and loved eating meat and never cared whether it was halal. so many instances where sikhs from india have encountered the way my community does sikhi and described us as dirtier or less refined. just one of those things where i've found being malaysian sikh, at least in my specific context, really is not representative of sikhs as a whole

*grits teeth and doesn't respond to comments on Youtube about how 'corny' it is for Raoul Kerr to rap in English 'just for marketability but then rants here'*

English is one of the major spoken languages in India and it's narcissistic as hell to assume that English lyrics in a band that also sings in other/native languages is just to try marketing to Joe Dumbass in the US or Europe and they think we just wouldn't like hearing more Hindi when we already do like hearing Hindi or Punjabi as choruses.

(also frankly I have great distaste for people who refer to things as 'corny' or 'cringe' just because the words are sincere or maybe don't follow a status quo)
