What race are Indians?
First of all, from the physical characteristics, Indians have darker skin. From this appearance, many people think that Indians are black. But in addition to skin color, hairstyle, face shape and other characteristics, there are many other main basis for dividing ethnic groups, such as bones. Different bones, different races. Taking the skull as an example, the nearly oval shape around the skull is white; The triangle around the skull is yellow; Around the skull, the approximate square is black. On the other hand, Indians have an oval skull. From this main basis, Indians are not black, but white, although their skin color is dark.

Secondly, from the native place of Indians, Indians are Aryans living near the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, and moved to today's Indian Peninsula about 4,000 years ago. Most of the Indian Peninsula is located in the tropical area between north latitude 10-30, and the intense solar radiation in the tropical area makes the skin of Indians dark today. It can be seen that the dark skin of Indian whites is manifested under the influence of the new environment after human migration.

So today, most Indians are white, and only a few blacks are distributed in southern India.

It can be seen that to understand the race, we should not only look at the external characteristics, but also look at the internal characteristics and the original place. Otherwise, we will simply say that Indians are black by color.

Similarly, Arabs in North Africa and West Asia are all white, although their skin color is darker.

There are 10 large ethnic groups and dozens of small ethnic groups, among which Hindustan accounts for 46.3%, Telugu accounts for 8.6%, Bangladeshi accounts for 7.7%, Marathi accounts for 7.6%, Tamil accounts for 7.4%, Gujarat accounts for 4.6%, Canada accounts for 3.9%, Malayalam accounts for 3.9%, and Ori.

There are several races in India: nigri Toto, Primitive Australian, Dravidian or Mediterranean Caucasian, Aryan and Mongols.

These people are the earliest inhabitants of India.

Primitive Australians-people who entered India before the Dravidians,

Dravidians-or Mediterranean Caucasians-are south of the equator. Once upon a time, there was a big country with Java in the east and Africa in the west. This country is called "Lemuria", which is the earliest place where Dravidians lived, but later, due to crustal changes, most of it was flooded. Part of it entered India.

Aryans in India-They went south from Central Asia around 2500 BC, crossed the Hindu Kush Mountains and the Karakorum Plateau, settled in the Iranian Plateau and India, and became the ancestors of Iranians and Indians. Aryans are warlike nomads. After entering India, they often fought fiercely with the Dravidians who lived here and gradually conquered them. Most Dravidians were driven to the south, and one of them became a slave.

Mongolians-northern and northeastern India are connected with the interior of Asia. Due to various geographical and historical reasons, Mongolians in Asia entered the South Asian subcontinent from the north and northeast at different times.
