They are Asian by geography. Though the fact is that by geography there is no separation of Asia from Europe, but one continent Eurasia.

If we take the urals as a separating point then technically India is also a continent

Linguistically the majority of people in the Indian sub-continent (95%+) are Indo-European speaks (70% Aryan, 25% Dravidian).

Racially the lines are similar with 70% being Aryanic and 25% being Dravidian -- another line of Caucasians

They have no racial or linguistic relationship with East Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, etc) but have ties with Semites and South-East Asians and a lot of ties with Europe right from the times of Alexander the Great.
