Why do North Indians Look Different from South Indians? The Genetics of South Asia
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2017
- 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.

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!
Masaman not all Indians are bad. There are good and bad in all races and people. I guess the media is very good at showing the worst of any country culture traditions etc of non white peoples. But sometimes people of colour don't help the situation by upholding the racist stereotypes placed upon them by acting out evils upon one another.
Masaman can you make a video about Europeans ?
Kante Musima Normally I do videos that my subscribers request. No one has ever asked me to do a video on Europe, although I have done one on Russia before.
Raj Parmar you are so right and people keep playing he aryan card it's so annoying eg indo aryan!

If someone from Kannada immigrated to Canada, would they be a Kannadian-Canadian?
I’ve been waiting for this joke my entire life
Hahahaha nice.. anyways people from karnataka are called kannadigas.. not kannadian.
No indo Canadian
Kannadiga-Canadaian
Here's an interesting story for you. I'm from Kerala and I did my Engineering in Tumkur, Karnataka. There was a store owner right in front of a popular college in the city and he used proudly announce to every Malayali student that there is this dam in Idukki built by the Kannadigas!! But the dam was built with aids from the Govt of Canada and technical inputs from a Canadian private company. Even after showing him this on Wikipedia, he did not believe that it was Canada and not Kannadiga!
This came to my mind all of a sudden when I saw Kannada and Canada in the same line :P
That awkward moment when a foreigner knows India better than you do. Lol
really ? just because he put up a video and may be you learned something..
btw Aryan Invasion theory is a myth
Stop saying it's a myth it's not. There is a lot of evidence to support that a group from central Asia did migrate into India.
it is a myth Mr. and there is even more evidence to that.. even older sites then Indus Valley has been discovered..
its not as you are propagating
Oh well, to each their own it's clear that we won't change one another's view on this issue sadly.
Ofelia Rios ya its sad that many people from different groups claiming that so called aryan race thing..i dont follow sheldon pollok propagated work, its debunked that Aryan theory is myth with solid evidence..
North India : Indo-Aryan
South India : Indo-Dravidian
North East India : Indo-Chinese
Lol no North-East India is way more complex.
No u moron they are not chinese even tibet is not chinese how can they even be chinese
The people of central Himalayas including ladakh Himachal uttarakhand nepal hilly areas sikkim arunachal are type -2 aryans = khas aryans not the typical indo aryan.
Yes but north Eastern indians are partially Austroasiatic
Northeast Indians include Indo-Aryans, Tibeto-Burmese, Austro-Asiatics. All are intermixed throughout the centuries.
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
Agree with the European comparison. Europeans define themselves as one white race split up in different ethnicity. Its the same with India , same race different tribes.

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.
India was never a country until the British invented it. It’s like calling entire Europe a country, that’s what Britain did. Indian sub continent was controlled by many different empires. It was never a unified country until 1947
India wasn't even a country then. People never include Pakistan or Bangladesh when in fact the indus valley is literally mainly in Pakistan. And it was all kingdoms not "india"
What United India were the Dharmic religions. I am from a northern state and the earliest references for a local ancient temple are in texts from southern most part of India.
@@vcx666 \You are definitely correct. I visited many very ancient archealogical sites and Holy sites of great antiquity. Mostly Hindu of course, but Jain, and Buddhist too. From Lonavala just south of Bombay, to Badami, and Hampi in Karnataka. There is also anextremely ancient Holy cave, on the road between Chaggi Bank station in the Punjab, to Hmachal Pradesh. It's seen as mostlly a very early Buddhist cave, but a Hindu Sadhu has been living in it for a long time, and showing it to tourists. It's a nog semi-luxury cave with the river running by with clean water direct from the Himalayas. There really was a sense of an India, and Indian identity, right from ancient times. Just look at Nalanda.
Fools, the concept of a country did not exist, but there was a sense of civilizational unity in India and, India was united several times in its very long history. The reviewer is right, India was already URBANIZED by the time of the Buddha and therefore, I dia has produced on of humanity’s great and original intellectual civilization.
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.
Brandi Chen india is an another world in itself.there are so
Many inventions in India which rest of the world don’t know.one life time is not enough to explore this amazing country. ball pins to salvation...you will get everything in india.everything was invented in india when other parts of the world even did not open their eyes in the cradle

@@kirtipandit2010 ... maybe more. The birth date of Lord Ram ( established according to the nakshatra mentioned in the itihaas in OLD Sanskrit texts) goes back 15000yrs or thereabouts.

It's the fault of Britishers here s an exercpt from Cambridge "there is no historical evidence for either an active propagation or implementation of Dharmasastra [Manusmriti] by a ruler or any state - as distinct from other forms of recognizing, respecting and using the text. Thinking of Dharmasastra as a legal code and of its authors as lawgivers is thus a serious misunderstanding of its history". from this : www.cambridge.org/core/books/spirit-of-hindu-law/E738FB6987860874ECB74BC155D283BA the caste system is a huge problem in India but its obv that the British are at fault for starting and ingraining discrimination between castes, and the politicians are at fault for continuing that discrimination

U learnt the right thing
Bravo serbije
@GIGACHAD yes it's my Serbian ancestors. Civilization of Europe Started in Serbia and around Danube with Lepenski Vir, Vincha and Starchevo civilization dating back to 12 000 years. With Belgrade as oldest city in Europe and 2nd oldest city in the world. Oldest language in Europe, oldest writen letter in Europe. Oldest archeological sites in Europe.

Just like Israel premier had said to Serbian premier on his visit to Israel, that Serbs and Jews have deep history dating back from 2000 years ago. Same way we had deep history with India, but you will not learn it from Western Europians history teachings, who write history to suit their colonial mindsets.

@Wisest 1 WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT ?
@@darko8894 he's dumb, some southern Indians carry middle Eastern dna, which makes them look white
actually its all migration because of which you are able to find fair people in south india. r1a gene is present in those people as a major part . where as a native south indian (mostly found in tamil nadu and moderately in other south indian states) contains r1b gene which is also present in negroes from australian origin. for example r1a gene is present at around 70 percent in the higher cast people of andhra or karnataka and brahmins from tamil nadu or kerala(see kerala people from karnataka side has r1a genes on the major part). (i am not being racist or anything and i am also a guy having r1b as the major part..,,but stating things)

@Turtle Kingdom BITCH Rajasthan and UP are part of North India though you're right for Bihar (East) and MP (Central)
Except Gujarat no other western state has Aryan components
@Turtle Kingdom BITCH Rajasthan may be West (I don't think so);but UP is in the North and all geographical and archaeological studies put UP in the North.
Some part of it may extend in the Central India but it's a northern state.
UP'S ancient name was United Province of NorthWest and Oudh & some even referred to as Northern Territory or Northern Province.
Land of the answers is totally wrong and outright ridiculous and don't ever say this to anyone otherwise you'd be considered delusional.
However I also consider Rajasthan to be the part of North not West.
For most people West - Gujarat Maharashtra Goa.
Rajasthan is culturally, linguistically and geographically far similar to the Northern states than Western States - it belongs to the North not West.

In kerala, South India, where I live, most of the people look like a mix of many races. Also the racial composition differs from community to community. Even neighbours look like people of different origins. Some people are pretty fair wheres some are pretty dark. Also you can see different skin colour or genetics within a single family. But still the people love each other irrespective of the differences and live in harmony. I believe beauty is only skin deep.
Nambudri bramhins of Aryan race settled in Kerala way back and they dominated Kerala. There were rules a Sudhra women must first conceive her first child only by Nambudri Brahmin and then only by her husband. Such rules might have stirred up the whole race in Kerala.

From karnataka .I love all states of india.
Yes, pal. I'm with you. I can't fathom the state-wise divide that we Indians keep building and deepening within us. I've witnessed this in so many Indian communities in other countries as well. Why do we Indian people feel the need to proclaim our region-based superiority through denigrating and belittling others? India is diverse, as are its peoples and cultures. If south India can stake claim to gentler, simpler and more grounded people, northern and western Indians can rationalize our more direct and aggressive traits due to the centuries of wars and invasions that were inflicted on us by foreign invaders. Please remember that North and Western India is where most of the invaders came from for centuries into India and we were the ones who were looted, pillaged, killed, slaughtered, and often subjugated by these rulers for hundreds of years (e.g. the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughal Emperors). Just look at the warrior histories of Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Punjab and see how these peoples, and I count myself among them, have had to develop aggressive resilience to survive with our culture, religion and heritage intact over these centuries of attack. (BTW I am a proud Sikh women who was raised in Uttarakhand and now lives in USA). If we Indians are to truly realize and live with the idea of an undivided India which welcomes and embraces all of its diversity, we cannot have whole regions of the country vilified as I have seen in this comment section and, alas, all too often in millions of other forums. Can we not just talk about what is great about the regions we come from without feeling the need to also vilify other Indian regions as well as Indians we feel are different from us? Tearing each other down will get us nowhere. Peace and wellbeing to all.
@@pritisandhu4276 love your comment and I hundred percent agree!! I love India and all my fellow Indians, no matter the region they’re from.

Well done, Mason. Great work. The video was very informative.

Interesting. I realize Masaman has to be careful about the subject of his channel, because of the ethnic sensitivities in many parts of the world. But he is correct, the religious element is far more touchy than skin tone. Here in the US, we have become pretty used to diversification of society including many cultures, but still have some religious intolerance.

I can't thank the author of this video enough who answered my long held curiosity on the subject. I am from Malaysia and we have a significant minority of indian descent the majority of whom are tamil speaking.
So glad to hear you recognize that Indians are not a race or an ethnicity. So many people assume that my race is "Indian" (I'm Indian-American), to which I respond that Indian is a national and political definition, not a racial one. I'm Asian, racially speaking, although of course that's a broad term.
Asian isn’t a race either. It’s a continent. East Asians are mongoloids and south and Asians are predominantly caucasoid (indo-aryan and Dravidian in India for example). That’s like calling everyone from Africa the same race when there are different races in Africa.

Waow India looks like the whole world in one country.... informative video .... what diversity!
Sam Goodwin. It's just like Europe but is united. (only Pakistan, Bangladesh muslim majority got divided.)
United? Hardly! Ethnic and religious conflicts abound in India.
Of course India is united. Just because there is occasional problems between religions or castes, does not mean the nation is divided. By your logic, US is not united either since there is constant conflicts between blacks and whites and hispanics.
95% of US is Christian and an equal number speak English as their first language. Pretty homogenous compared to India or EU if you ask me. Remember, second generation immigrants wherever their parents may come from, still speak English as their main language.
I did not say native tongue, I said their primary language which is English and this includes most hispanics and almost all second and above gen immigrants today. Tellling me that the US is as diverse as EU or India is a joke. Are you going to tell me that there are big groups or areas of Hispanics or other immigrants where Enlgish is not understood ? If you go to a small town in Europe, you will find just that. Also, if you go from one state to another in India, a large percentage of people won't be able to understand you well at all if you spoke in Hindi or English (common languages)..Christians make up 80% of US, with people putting "no religion" constituting 16% (but of this a large percentage 95% were born into Christian families, hence have a very good understanding of the basics of Christianity and its culture)
Excellent video and very informative.

I had a friend that lived in a diplomatic compound and went to a private school in India in the 1980's, and he said the density of people and pollution was insane, ......so imagine what it is like now and what it is going to be like as the population gets even more dense......he said even living in a compound, he felt constantly surrounded, like he couldn't get away from it.
India needs to be treated both as a country and as an area with continent size diversity. This consciousness is necessary for both us - the citizens and foreigners as it helps understand issues of regionalism and colourism which should be discussed and resolved rather than denied.
U r totally wrong about origins of dravidian ppl.. current harappa excavation findings have linked the civilisation to the dravidians.. and tamil is currently used to encrypt indus pictograph.. that would make tamil the oldest and still spoken language in the world.. the aryan invasion theory is true but u r totally wrong about the dravidian.. in fact proto-shiva figurine in a meditative manner was found at harappa excavation site.. and meditation also originated from south india since adiyogi times

At least to make the lie believable you should have atleast said punjabi or kashmiri.
I think you thought that more R1A=whiter.
Now you have made a fool of yourself.Bengalis are much darker and have slightly mongoloid features too!😂😂😂
aditya nawani There's nothing that's 100% certain in biology. That can happen in stereotyping, but not in biology. And as Masaman said, race ≠ ethnicity. The people I was referring to most probably have European ancestors, and that's why they look strikingly European. I know how a Punjabi or Kashmiri looks like, mate.
Maybe you should stop trolling people on the internet and instead focus on getting a job to earn so that you spend less time goofing around and actually live up your name. Oh wait, you _do_ live up to your name - by bringing down people with false accusations and lies!🌚

The dark Indian women in South India are incredibly beautiful. I love their skin tones and dark hair.
@S Ali Its an interesting culture. Im not being racist or anything. I just thought they have beautifully unique features, more narrow than the people in the the north. Just different. Tribes all over Africa look different from each other as well. Its not so much the skin color but the features as well.
S Ali it’s not illegal to think people are beautiful or anything and it shouldn’t matter what color I am. There are white people I think are incredibly unique and beautiful as well and other races so it’s not about my skin color I just think they have unique features but their skin color shows them more. There aren’t many Asians that look like that and I don’t see that often.
They are held as lower class for their skin color.
Men there chase after women with a bit of fair skin.
@@intermilan9731 that's true..but there are also many so called high caste people known as Brahmins with dark skin...which is ironical..truth is that most Indians are genetically related and those living in the same region are genetically closer irrespective of caste..

The skin color can differ quite a bit even in families. One of my closest friend is northern Indian and his sister is as light as my sister (a relatively tan German) and he is pretty dark himself. Similar to the average African-American or African-Brazilian person.

I visited India for the first time in 2018 and l will admit l was shocked at how many people l saw. We were in New Delhi and usually when l visit places l go out and sight see and meet people, but in India l didnt. It was just too too much, the crowds, the smells, the noise. When we did drive out there traffic and a few times there was a cow in the road that caused the traffic.

@@ufukerdogan88 People like you are the reason people ultimately end up hating Indians. Your hatred runs so deep, you can't even accept people who are extending a hand for you. For every instance of terrorism you can point out in Iran, I can point out a related major crime from India (though most of these are with cybernukes, India has one of the highest rates of initiating cyber attacks and email phishing schemes in the world). The point is, at a PERSONAL level, people are generally the same, and there's no reason to hate someone you know nothing about just based on their ethnicity. And before you accuse me of being Arab, I'm from America.

True. He's given a true picture of the Indian people and their physical features, more or less. But as you can see, most comments from Indians show that they're unable to digest it. They're like..."oh we're not so dark?" Because Indians are far more racist than white people.

Diverse and heterogeneous societies tend to be more racist and are more unstable in terms of democracy than say a homogeneous one. That said, yes racism is high but it has gotten much better and we are improving.

You definitely pronounce Iran with an american accent which is totally wrong. But I appreciate the effort.
I learned that I don't know so much
I think its to do with the Silk Road and the people that historically travelled on the silk road. The silk road doesn't reach southern India and only crosses across the Northern parts of India. The Semitic races probably travelled these roads throughout history and this is probably why the northern Indians look different because they mixed with the semitic peoples whereas the Southern Indians did not.
