[QUOTE]Originally posted by Roy_2k5: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by zulu: [b]I've studied some history of India and as I recalled, the aryans came from southern russia and the caucousus mountains and conquered the original inhabitants beginning around 1500BC. I have a degree in Chinese and I've read texts where the ancient Chinese were determined not to let these people into there territory. Hence, the first great wall was built. This was built a little northern than where the current on is. However, the aryans were able to penetrate india aroun d the ganges river. They instituted a caste system while intermixing with the natives. Hence, alot of Indians are mixed with aryans and the native blacks. I have Iranian friends who told me that the same thing happened in Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi and other "middle eastern" areas. Egypt and North Africa are a continuation this same transformation. By the way, my Iranian friends called the current people in these areas a "new race" because of the mixture of black and white. Has anyone ever looked up the word semi? It's Greek for half. I've come to believe that the Middle Eastern or Arab are half black and white. In my opinion that's why "pure" whites don't care too much for the Arab or Jew. [/b][/QUOTE] You are sort of correct. What is true is that there was a Caucasian migration from Central Asia to India, however it was quite small to alter North India's typical phenotype. Even though some are fair, they are akin to the Iranians, a hybrid stock. Today, the majority of Indians are pretty much the same, and have dark skin comparable to Africans. However they have features that are more 'Caucasoid' than Second, even though it is quite likely that the language of India was not Indo-European, there has yet to be any significant evidence that the IE tongues spoken in India originate from Central Asia. Matter of fact, Sanskrit is far older than any tongue in Europe or Central Asia. I would not be surprised if the IE tongue actually originated in India or somewhere around the Middle East, and spoken originally by a dark skinned population. Third, even though Vedic Hinduism spread throughout India, it still doesn't look like they divided the population into races, even if they intended to do so. Many high caste Indians are actually quite dark skinned and many light skinned Indians could belong to the lower caste. Moreoever, while Dravidians in India mainly belong to the lower caste, the Dravidians in Sri Lanka are mainly high caste. This observation breaks the Caste = Racist system theory. Let us remember that the Eurocentrists have been trying to put the blame on others for the mistakes they have committed in the past. Therefore we must approach this issue more critically. Although, IE speakers were not the founder of IVC, there is a possibility that they were not brutes either. [/QB][/QUOTE]
