Under the old, 3-race system of classification the peoples of the Subcontinent were included under the Caucasian category but nowadays they are given a special category by anthropologists.

Northern Indians (Indo-aryan) are Caucasians

Southern Indians are Austro-Asians, related to Australian
aborigines

"Indians considered caucasian?"

Yes they are, which simply underscores the idiocy of trying to pigeonhole people by skin color. Many people of Indian descent have darker skin colors than Americans of so-called negroid or black descent. Making skin color irrelevant. It's what's inside that counts.
