Well, apparently its not Hindu religion, but even if we have common ancestry with europeans up to a certain point in history, thats no basis to constantly claim that Hitler liked us and neo-nazis are our friends and such lunacy.

And BTW, all of us have common origin in Africa, why arent you guys eager to claim BLACK ancestry instead of constantly pining for WHITE european ancestry ?

Frankly, most Indians (especially in south) seem to have strong racial ties to Black africans than with europeans.

But now, Indians are a separate race of people, as is widely accepted socially by everyone else.

Never was. I hope I didn't err on that.

"...we have common ancestry with europeans up to a certain point in history, thats no basis to constantly claim that Hitler liked us and neo-nazis are our friends and such lunacy."

No, no! I didn't even claim it. It was mentioned elsewhere. I did add a 'lol' in that comment to indicate the stupidity in that argument.

Indeed. I believe in evolution, and that we all have a common ancestor in a once-apelike creature. Even the Africans.

Frankly, most Indians (especially in south) seem to have strong racial ties to Black Africans than with Europeans.

In the south, the Dravidians have similarities with Caucasoids. Barring skin colour, the facial structures are striking, especially with the darkest Tamilians. Straight-bridged noses, flat foreheads, deep-set eyes.

Of course, there is an admixture of another, much older line of humans from Africa, into all over India, including the very northern parts. This group largely comprises the Adivasis, literally, "First Inhabitants".

Konkanis and certain groups of people in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, such as the Tuluva communities, and in Kerala(Namboothiri and Nambiyar/Nambiar communities), are migrants from the north.

But now, Indians are a separate race of people, as is widely accepted socially by everyone else.

Yes, as per the new geographic classifications, not genetic.
