I really don't want anything to do with your kind, so please go bother someone else. You are not worth debating. Thanks.
The northern Indians have mixed with Dravidic peoples over the centuries & the Persians have mixed with Semitic & Old European (whose closest modern cousins would be the Basques) peoples.
The Nordics are not the direct descendents of the Aryans but are descendents of people who were cousins & therefore closely related to the Aryans, but not actually descended from the group known as Aryans. Remember: the Proto Indo-Europeans who are believed to have originated in southern Russia near the Caspian Sea branched out in many different directions. The group that migrated into Persia & India were known as Aryans, while the groups which migrated into Europe (& elsewhere) were a different branch (& branches) of the original group whose origins are believed to be near the Caspian Sea.
Remember also that groups of Proto Indo-Europeans migrated from the "homeland" into different directions at different times in history as well.
