What race are white Indians?

White people in India came from Europe, and Aryans invaded ancient India and thrived for a long time. Some white people are descendants of British colonists. The indigenous people in India are brown. They accept the rule of white people and obey the caste system of Brahmins.

Because the Indian subcontinent has been invaded by foreigners many times, the races are very mixed, so the skin color is also very diverse. White people, mainly concentrated in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir in the northern region; Mongolian race, whose appearance is basically similar to that of China people, mainly lives in seven northeastern States; Dark skin, mainly distributed in several southern States, including Kerala and Tamil.

After the Aryans occupied India, in order to consolidate their dominant position, they created a unique caste system in the South Asian continent, which was reflected in race and color. Generally speaking, the lighter the skin color, the higher the caste status (Aryan descendants), and the darker the skin color, the lower the caste status (South Asian subcontinent indigenous descendants).
