Interesting picture.
I am wondering why the Spaniard is without beard?? When the Spaniards were shaving the anglos had not started shavin?? ;-)
what about dravidians - they surely weren’t East Indian rajas and therefore would not have been considered caucasian.
That “Hebrew” is Ashkenazi for sure.
East Indian Raja as a caucasian…………Lord Macaulay is turing violently in his grave:)
I didn’t know East India was populated only by Rajas ;) No subjects at all.
Only the Rajas were caucasian.
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.
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.
