Rohan495 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I hear all this talk that indians are indo europeans, if so how is that true? do we have genetic links with other nationalities east, west, north, south of us
I_India Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 It's all meaningless ultimately as we are all humans and interestingly all from Africa.
Rohan495 Posted January 26, 2010 Author Posted January 26, 2010 Yea but i heard aryans came from above the caspian sea.
I_India Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Yea but i heard aryans came from above the caspian sea. There are lot of theories with lot of politics and race issues mixed into it. I personally don't know what to believe any more. I could do with a time machine though. I assume you have checked the Wiki page already? If not then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_race http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Aryan_peoples

gs Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 This is not a knock against anyone - just some food for thought. Sometimes I wonder if some of the christians in India with Portuguese sounding last names like dsouza, dmello, noronha etc. did actually have Portuguese ancestors? Or did they just convert and adopt a christian last name? Also, with the Aryan race theory - how and why the hell did Hitler choose swastika as his symbol?!? Isn't it an ancient sacred Hindu symbol of goodluck and good omen? Could it be the Aryan race connection? Maybe that explains why I am a sucker for blonde women with blue-green eyes! :icflove:

A very tiny tiny % might have non Indian blood mixed with European blood due to cross fertilization from foreign soldiers :--D
