Appreciated (for the information). Still, there does seem to be a strong probability that the generally* lighter skinned, prominent nosed, long-faced Indians are genetically tied more closely with other 'Aryans' (pre-Nazi usage) than the darker skinned, less prominent nosed, rounder-faced Indians. As in every nationality, there is a gradient--just in India's case, the gradient is more noticeable than, type, German's gradients between Celtic, Slavic (west and east) and Nordic, Alpine (north and south).

And it is the case in India, as in many countries in Latin America--and in the United States, that socially the less Caucasoid-appearing get the short end of the stick.

You will also find dark-skinned, long-faced, sharp-nosed Dravidians. Genetics is weird, really!

The structures below are mostly monolithic- carved out of single hills and boulders.

Ruins at Hampi, southern India.

As for the Dravidians, they have been a major culture throughout India's history. Some of the world's most spectacular architectural features such as the ruins at Hampi, and the Vijeyanagar kingdoms, were all Dravidian.

Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, southern India.

It is also said that the Dravidians are the descendents of the people who built the Indus Valley Civilisation.

The Great Bath, Indus Valley, present-day Pakistan.
