Would you be able to tell me what race means? I really don't know. At least I don;t know what you mean by race. Men from Haryana are apparently marrying women from Kerala. Would that be an interracial marriage. A friend of mine (parents from Karnataka) has married an American woman whose...

I shake my head in despair when people say "read Rig Veda". This is the result of centuries of colonization among Indians. Rig Veda was never meant to be written. It's entire existence revolved around recitation and being heard, not written. Part of learning of the Rig Veda is learning the...

Why should tall, fair skinned and supposedly "martial" people in North West India have originated in Europe? They could well have originated from the wide region northwest of India that includes Pakistan, Afghanistan etc. It is only because of European white supremacist "science" fed to us as...

At the time of Darius - about 500 BC, Iran was called themselves "Persia" (Parsyayi) - here is a translation from the 500 BC Behistun inscription of Iran http://www.livius.org/be-bm/behistun/behistun-t01.html Darius says that he is the Kshatriya (king) of Persia in old Persian language which is...

We are going to continue to disagree. Race based on appearance is nonsense/non-science. Linguistic anthropology has nothing to do with races or genetics but is a sociological method to study how language influences societies. I have great respect for Mahalanobis as a mathematician, but...

It is pure speculation. It is an Indian internalization of a racist European story that was created to put Europeans as superior race. No matter how many Indians or Jats think they mey be from "there" they are only riding as uninvited ticketless passengers on a racist theory to put Europeans on...

Note that the word "Arya" in the Rig Veda means "noble". There is no word called "Aryan". It has been made up to suit cooked up racist history which has been swallowed by us Indians. I will explain This is basically a nonsense story that has racist European white supremacist origins. I have...

No. Morphological diversity can occur because of difference in expression of genes, not necessarily because of genetic diversity. For that reason, morphological diversity does not match genetic diversity "nose for nose" or "gene for gene". What this means is that you can take gene samples from...

I think "morphological diversity" (diversity in appearance) among Indians should not be confused with "genetic diversity". There is remarkably little basic genetic diversity among Indians although there is much morphological diversity. Using morphologocal (physical appearance) diversity as a...

Here is what the Priya Moorjani paper (2013) says Genetic Evidence for Recent Population Mixture in India Priya Moorjani,1,2,6, Periyasamy Govindaraj,3 Bonnie Berger,2,4 David Reich,1,2,7 and Lalji Singh3,5,7 * Kumarasamy Thangaraj,3,6, * Nick Patterson,2 Mark Lipson,4 Po-Ru Loh,4

Gentically there is remarkable commonality between Indians despite the differences in facial characteristics and colour. There was a huge mixture of "Ancestral North Indian" (ANI) and "Ancsetral South Indian (ASI) genes starting more than 10,000 years ago. Now all Indians have a mix of ASI and...

Are you saying that the 1857 war of independence was fought by Indians because the kings of the soldiers who fought in that so called "rebellion" wanted their men to fight against the British and the men who supported the British had kings who wanted them to support the British? This is totally...

"Martial race" was a term applied by the British to fool Indians whose support they wanted after the 1857 war of independence. There must be Brits who are still laughing their asses off at the way some groups loyally served the British simply because they were praised as being "martial"...
