Which race do indians belong to?

Question

mention all the races n origions...pleez let me kno

Answer 1

Races defined by body chemistry don't match races defined by skin color. Swedes belong with Fulani in the "lactase-positive race," while most African "blacks," Japanese, and American Indians belong in the "lactase-negative race."

Answer 2

Indian is a race itself.. which branches out to few hundreds of religions or shall i say DIALECTS.. E.g. Tamil, Hindustani, Bengali, Malayalee, Telugu, Hindu.. the list goes on n on.. Im indian.. but im not from India.. All indians dont directly come from india.. but their ancestors do.. im a singapore indian.. still asian.. hehe..

Answer 3

India has a population of approximately 1.12 billion people (2007), comprising approximately one-sixth of the world's population. This population is remarkably diverse; it has more than two thousand ethnic groups, and every major religion is represented, as are four major families of languages (Indo-European, Dravidian, Austro-Asiatic and Tibeto-Burman languages) as well as a language isolate (Nihali spoken in disputed parts of Jammu & Kashmir).

Unlike the USA, UK, and Australian Censuses, the national Census of India does not recognize racial or ethnic groups within India,but recognizes many of the tribal groups as Scheduled Castes and Tribes.

It should be noted that Indo-Aryan, Austro-Asiatic and Tibeto-Burman are ethnic and linguistic terms and denote members of these ethnic groups and speaks of there linguistic groups.

Answer 4

India Indians are a mix of many different genetic strains. They are generally thought to be Aryan or white.

Answer 5

Indians belong to the Human race.

Answer 6

The "racial" classifications of Caucasoid, ******* and mongoloid is an outdated classification system. As our knowledge of genes grow these morphological distinctions that used to be defined as "race" actually turn out to be a very small proportion of the human genome compared to the vast VAST amount of the "average" genome between each geographic area and the populations around the Earth being 99.9% similar. The best way to answer your question with more factuality then simply relying on biases and guess work would be to look at the genetic frequency of Y-DNA and mt-DNA haplogroups between other areas around the globe in comparrison with India's haplogroups. Here is a handy diagram that you can refer to: (unfortunately the frequency diagram and artical that I had used earlier is no longer an active link) So here is a less handy diagram which shows the spread of haplo groups which shows how haplogroups  spread to Europe and India independantly as they diverged along seperate paths and thus Indians are clearly a different very unique group, and have the unique introduction and a high rate of the L haplogroup that came about near the end of their ancestors migration to that part of the world: http://www.kerchner.com/images/dna/ydna_... Clearly since the Indian population has a high occurrence of the L Y-DNA haplogroup, whereas the L haplogroup is NOT common within any other areas of the globe, save for low rates of L in the Middle East.  The relationship between Indians and other groups, either mongoloids or Caucasians on the genetic level, therefore, is slim to none. Anyways, I prefer to bring in conclusive empirical evidence that provides factual answers instead of just conjecturing at whim. So there it is, a factual and empirically supported answer. I would have also liked to have shown you the global frequency of mt-DNA haplogroups, but as-of-yet my internet searches have not been forth coming at finding such a diagram. I have seen individual mt-DNA pie-charts for the areas in question, and this same discrepancy as is observed in the Y-DNA haplogroups is repeated in the mt-DNA haplogroups, but if anyone knows of a good link to demonstrate the global frequencies, please do post it as an answer or a comment, thanks.

Answer 7

Indians from India would be considered Asian. Many of the Indians in South America, America and the Islands would also be considered Asian as they came from the Asian continent and migrated when it was connected to the North American continent.

However, if you believe that man originated in Africa then they would be considered black as would everyone on this planet.

Answer 8

individuals from the sub-continent of india are classified as caucasian, not asian. indigenous peoples of the americas are classified as asian.

Answer 9

Once again, there really is only one human race, as all humans in physical health and age can mate with any other and produce offspring.

There are 5 color groups: red (American Indians), yellow (Chinese, Japanese, et al), black (Africa, Australia, Philippines), white (Europe, India) and brown (Philippines).

This is a very long involved question: basically, you are asking how humanity dispersed all over the globe.

Check with the National Geographic's Genographics Project,

https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/geno...

or any good book or web site dealing with such.

Indians (the real ones, living in India) are white;

The ones here are red, descended chiefly from Siberia.

Answer 10

When I first read your question my first thought was "Native

American" in a jog of political correctness before the second glance reminded me just who they are 'nicknamed' after.

I'm sure North America would be more different today if

Europeans focused more on India.  Lucky for Indians, eh? You might query, 'Which Indians?'  Spain was a royal pain,

you know, 1474 to 1504.

Answer 11

There are 2 types of Indians:

Native American/ Tribal Indian

and

From India- Indians. Classical anthropologists have long debated the racial classification of Indians, in particular Dravidians. One scheme labeled Dravidians as the Australoid or Veddoid race in about the 40 human races in that system.

Answer 12

First of all, continents are not races.  Second neither is mongol.  They  are typically referred to as old oriental.  Assuming you are referring to American Indians, some such as the Eskimo, Navaho, and South American tribes are referred to as new (or newer) oriental.  They are from East Asia and probably migrated across the Bering Strait  during Ice Age when it was a bridge of land.

Answer 13

non-white I think

Answer 14

Everyone on this planet is of Scottish descent, and we all know that God is a Scotsman who goes by the name of Jock Tamson, so, we're all Jock Tamson's bairns.

Answer 19

I think the 3 :30 pm at Newmarket. It's the main event of the afternoon, and seems the favourite has a very good chance.

Answer 20

We talked about this in a class, the Indian is a considered a Caucasian race, not due to the variation of skin color, but due to their hair. So a very dark Indian would still be considered 'white' or Caucasian in America.
