I wouldn't say someone from India is Asian... their tectonic plate came out of nowhere and crashed into the Eurasian plate!
There was an Indian ethnicity...
Not just because of plate tectonics, but because a population lived there in isolation for thousands of years, long enough to become distinct enough genetically to be their own racial group.
But then another wave of migration happened and modern Indians killed pretty much all of them. The ones who survived are the "bottom caste" in the caste system those new immigrants implemented.
There's a lot of Indian propaganda to make it seem like that native population just never existed. And modern Indians have always inhabited India, yet somehow still aren't ethnically Indian either.
If it's confusing, that's kind of the point. Lots of far right authoritarian governments don't care about logical consistency, they just say whatever makes them look best in any situation
Are you talking about the Aryan Invasion theory?
No that's a far right modern day myth that Aryans "originated" in India and then moved north. It's based on hitler's bullshit.

I'm talking about the reality of dark skinned people who lived there for thousands of years. And then were invaded and turned into a slave caste
Phew, that makes a bit more sense. Still, I haven't really heard this set of events before, and I'm Indian. Anything I could see for further info?
I mean that article is already pretty in depth...
But it should give you enough to Google for more info on your own.
The way we understand current geography came from imperialistic Europe. Pretty much the scientific aspects of it were never updated. Unless the current system is revolutionized, we will have to make do with this mess respectfully.
