"Technically, Indians are of the "Caucasian" race. Those with lighter skin are descendants of Bactrian Greeks."

I thought that the darker skinned Indians were descendents of the Draviadian people like the modern Sri Lanakans. The lighter skinned higher castes are descedent from the Indo-Iranian Sanskrit invaders who took over India millenia ago.

Also, there was a western Islamic element under the Moguls much later. MOdern India is pretty much a hodge-podge of ethnic groups intermixed with the lower castes generally darker than the upper ones.

I stand corrected. The Dravidians were the original inhabitants of the Sub-continent. I didn't recall an "Aryan" (historical sense) although it would make sense. I am quite sure there was a Greek influence dating to the time of Alexander.
Thanks for the heads up!
