Well, apparently its not Hindu religion.

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.

And BTW, all of us have common origin in Africa

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.

If my past comments appear to picture me as a racist, let me make this clear, I’m ALL for racial intermingling. Genetic mixing is healthy, biologically. It brings more diversity in the gene pool, and chances of suffering hereditary diseases are lowered by it. The cheetahs are among the “purest” of the cat family. It is no surprise that they are also the most inbred, the least immune to infectious diseases, and most susceptible to genetic abnormalities within the cat family. Parallels like this fit comfortably within the human situation.

Socially, large-scale inter-mixing will break caste/class/cultural/racial barriers, and people will be united by their acknowledged presence of varied differences, rather than an asinine concept of “genetic purity,” which is really a misnomer for inbreeding.
