East Indian Raja

East Indian Raja

From the book “Race Types” in Maury’s New Complete Geography, copyright 1906. It classifies East Indian Raja, Anglo-Saxon, Arab and Hebrew as Caucasian. [ via bb]

    what about dravidians - they surely weren’t East Indian rajas and therefore would not have been considered caucasian.

    That “Hebrew” is Ashkenazi for sure.

    I didn’t know East India was populated only by Rajas ;) No subjects at all.

    In fact the classification of East Indians as “caucasian” was the basis of a landmark lawsuit filed by Bhagat Singh Thind which was based on the anthropological consensus of the time.

    United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind, 261 U.S. 204 (1923), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court decided that Bhagat Singh Thind, who was a high caste Punjabi, settled in Oregon, could not be a naturalized citizen of the United States, despite the fact that a proportion of anthropologists had defined a proportion of people in India as part of the Caucasian race.

    The Upper Castes of India such as most Punjabis, Rajputs and Pathans descend from Caucasian Iranian Scythians. Do note long before Colonialism started in the 1400’s A.D. at full force by the 1600’s A.D. the entire North and Northwest Region of what is “India” today, was of Caucasian Extraction as in Scythians, Greeks, Huns, Parthians, Turks and even some Romans. It was only during
    the Colonial Era to 1948, that an official “India” was created. Now unionizing the other races of South Asia into a super-state called
    “India”. Pakistan, of course fought against this and successfully avoided being Communized into a Union like India was. Today
    Punjabi States and Rajasthan, would gladly secede from the Dravidian Indian (Hindu) expansion and tyranny over the Caucasian Races of India, such as Rajputs, Punjabis and Pashtuns, who are at least 65% of Caucasian stock, with of course the Afro-Asiatic minorities consisting of Dravidian Hindus within their regions, as in the so-called “Punjabi Hindus” who don’t look like the typical Caucasian Punjabi, Rajput or Pathan. Back then, “East Indian” was meaning the Caucasian ones only. Today, it is the exact
    opposite. “Hey you are tall, strong, handsome and fierce, are you really East Indian or are you really Middle Eastern or Mediterranean?” This is what the Warrior Races of India get when they are either born and raised in the West or emigrate to the West. Do note the Warrior Races of Punjabis, Rajputs and Pathans are of Caucasian Scythian Extraction, partly Greek too and make up no more than 5% of the total Indian population. If they manage to break free from the Indians, it would be nice if they separated into their own nation. The different complexions of Caucasians stand out compared to the Dravidians, Blacks, Chinese, American Indians and Aborigines.
