The "Nord-Indid" phenotype.

[Shah-Jehan]

I think Nord-Indid is a term misused and misunderstood and just thrown around when someone comes across a light skinned South Asian, but Nord-Indid only refers to those Indid types that are highly dolicocephalic (long-headed) often with prominent noses and moderate to tall stature, irregardless of skintone. This means that Nord-Indids can range from very dark to lighter types.

The Nord-Indid type can be found all over Southern Asia, but is more prominent in more Northern areas than Southern ones as the name suggests.

This is only my opinion but I think the Nord-Indid type should be divided into three zones: West, East and South.

Western Nord-Indids





Eastern Nord-Indids





Southern Nord-Indids

It depends, the phenotype isn't correlated with haplogroups.

probably passes in the horn of Africa, but even then he doesn't have thick-developed lips which a lot of horners have, he definitely can't pass for a regular black African, his straight nose, no prognathism, tall head are features that doesn't occur in them.

She has a quarter English ancestry I think, plus a strong Indo-Brachid component.

I don't think he is fully Indid or even Indo-Melanid. Maybe East African/Bengali mixed.
