Fascinating subject...

My question would be though...wtf happened to the Indians (in the nation of India)?

All modern day Indo-Europeans from Europe to Iran are pretty fair skinned. Yet many Indians are blacker than blacks. It doesn't add up.

Indians, ie. people who live in India or more broadly the Indian sub-continent, are not by any means purely Indo-European by descent.

All throughout India, besides the Andaman Islanders, everyone has SOME Indo-European heritage. But let's compare different Indian populations.

Andaman Islanders, the closest modern population to "indigenous", ie. Pre-Dravidian Indians, with no Indo-European ancestry:


Dravidian people, mixed with Indo-European:


Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, a born Brahmin, which is the "priest" caste.


Kalash people, pagans from Pakistan with high Indo-European ancestry:

India has over 1 billion people, there is great diversity among them in language, religion, ethnicity, appearance, in basically every aspect. There are more differnet peoples, languages, religions, etc. in India than in Europe.
