Why do North Indians Look Different from South Indians? The Genetics of South Asia

Today, we're going to answer the questions of why North and South Indians have such vastly varying features, and look at the genetic history of South Asia as a whole.
I'm not trying to offend anyone with my tangent on skin color discrimination in Bollywood and Indian society, merely stating a fact that Bollywood actors are of a much lighter complexion than the average Indian so it's not fair to judge what the average Indian looks like by looking at South Indian celebrities.
Indians with light skin are not any less "Indian-looking" than Indians with dark skin. Don't post racist comments in my comment section. Thanks.
Let me know your thoughts on India and Indians in the comments below.
Thanks for watching!

If someone from Kannada immigrated to Canada, would they be a Kannadian-Canadian?

That awkward moment when a foreigner knows India better than you do. Lol

Masam , I am a Tamil from Southern India. I have been a self studying anthropologist who studies ethnicities in Indian subcontinent. I was stunned by the amount of research you have put in to state the facts. Love your efforts.

Absolute rubbish. Most Indians 72% are pure Aryans and found even in the deep South of India. Color changes due to climatre many castes in the Punjab though Aryans are dark due to harsh sunlight like the people of Southern Iran, who are Aryans as well,. An Aryan Iyer from deep South is often lighter than a Punjabi who works in the fields,. While in the colder regions of the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent people can be lighter than most Europeans. The Aryan race is indigenous to Northwestern Indian subcontinent and fused region of Central Asia.

I find it crazy that India is so big and full of so much history, yet i don’t think I’ve ever been taught one thing about it. I don’t remember it ever being mentioned in school, except for when we had to label countries on a world map.

India is not like what outsiders think it is

[@anatharahadi]

North India : Indo-Aryan

[@patrickmulvey6139]

Most of my engineering courses in New York were taught by Indian professors. I have many good memories of kind, humble and extremely bright men who had compassion on their students, who were often struggling with the material. I have also worked with Indian men and women over the years and had all pleasant interactions and memories. Fantastic people. God bless them all.

Most Westerners don't realize that India is a complicated place. I lived there for well over a year living in the north and south . Cuisine changes a lot, but basic Hindi and English is spoken everywhere. India was one of the first civilizations to "urbanise" and even at the time of Buddha, India was very urbanized. India invented Zero and many other advanced mathematical ideas. It was NOT the Islamic people. They got it from the Indians through trade routes.

My yoga teacher is from South India. She a darker skin Indian, has the brightest presence I’ve seen from any person in Washington DC area. I’m very grateful to have met her.

Bollywood portrays the idea of beauty standards based on North India's population.

Title:- why North Indian and South Indian look different?

[@annarodriguez7008]

To me South Indians & North Indians look the same. Same features just darker or lighter.

[@shadabatique5922]
