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!

    This video is pretty heavy on the maps, hope you don't mind. Also, Indians are not any less "Indian" because they have light or dark skin. Let me know your thoughts on India and Indians in the comments below! Thanks!
  • 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
  • India is not like what outsiders think it is India is just like whole European countries together as one Every state there are different races, language, culture And under those states there are more different ethnic minority groups, It has around 1500 language and dialects and every Indian races are different from one another including their mindset and way of behaviour Its all united as one country
  • 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.

    This reminds me of Mexico, northerners are way more light skin the Southerners excluding the capital.

    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.
  • 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.
  • North India : Indo-Aryan South India : Indo-Dravidian North East India : Indo-Chinese
  • 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.
  • Short answer :- because north indias climate is colder and south's is hotter
  • Bollywood portrays the idea of beauty standards based on North India's population.
  • 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.
  • I'm Trinidadian and Puerto Rican. My Grand dad was Indian. Peace and love. ☮❤
