Racial differences are based on the physical attributes of humans. The inner qualities of an individual have nothing to do with the races. On a broader scale, the present-day population of India has been derived from the following racial groups and sub-groups.
Important Points
 
  • The Negritos
  •  The Proto-Australoids
  • The Mongoloids
  • The Mediterranean
  • The Western broad-headed people
  • The Nordics
 
Human Race Characteristics
The Negritos
  • They are the short-statured type of human race, believed to have come to India in the earliest time.
  • Negroid race are characterised by (i) woolly hair, (ii) bulbous forehead (iii) broad flat nose and (iv) slightly protruding jaws.
  • Tribal groups such as Poliyans and Kedars living in the hills and forests of the Indian Peninsula and the Andaman Islands constitute the Negrito race in India.
The Proto-Australoids
  • They came to India just after Negritos. The Indus-valley civilization was built by them, along with Mediterraneans, as their skeletons have been discovered from the burial grounds both at Mohanjodaro and Harappa.
  • They make the majority of the population in many isolated or semi-isolated parts of the country.
  • Physically they differ from Negritos mainly in the absence of woolly hair. The hilly and forested tracts of Central and Southern India are inhabited by them.
The Mongoloids
  • This racial stock is mainly concentrated in the Himalayan borderland especially in Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Ladakh and other parts of North-Eastern India like Nagaland, Mizoram, Assam and Manipur.
  • Their original homeland was China from where they were pushed southward into the Malay Peninsula and Indonesia and entered India through mountain passes in the northern or eastern section.
  • The two sub-groups of Mongoloid racial stock are (i) The Palaeo- Mongoloids and (ii) the Tibeto-Mongoloids.
The Nordics 
  • The final wave of migration into India brought the Aryan speaking Nordics.
  • They spoke the Aryan language and migrated to India sometime during the second millennium B.C.
  • They are long-headed, fair-complexioned and have well-developed noses and strongly build bodies.
  • They are mainly concentrated in the north-western part of the country. They are a predominant type in the North Western Frontier Province of Pakistan, Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan.
  • In Punjab of north India, they are represented among the upper castes.
