Is the Nord Indid race a pure Caucasoid sub-race?

[MagnusAurelius]

Nord Indids are surely mixed and all have at least 15-28% Non-Caucasoid admixture depending on the person. If Pathans, Sindhis and Balochs, among the purest of the South Asian ethnic groups are this mixed then obviously others like most Punjabis and Gujaratis are gonna have more non-Caucasoid admixture.

The high caste Indians are mostly caucasoid, the other Indians are something else.

ANI is a western Eurasian component while ASI is a Eastern Eurasian component, still the people comprising of the two genetic components look similar to each other than to their Near-eastern/European compatriots (as for ANI) or South-east Asian/East Asian compatriots (as for ASI).

You really sure about that?

This might be somewhat misleading due to the sample populations chosen.

Yes, they are Europids. Many upper caste Indians look Europid and Europid influence can be seen in all parts of South Asia. Actually I believe that even the early/pre-Europid South Asian HGs were not soo different from WHGs and EHGs. They developed black skin due to climatic adaptation.

I've seen some Sri Lankans and Tamils with surprisingly European facial traits, in some cases even more than what we see in Northwestern Indians (who generally belong to more MENA influenced groups/Orientalid races).

Yes, because Sri Lankan and the southernmost Indian people are not racially and sub-racially homogeneous. However, truly Europid persons are quite rare.

You overestimate the Orientalid influence in northwestern India it seems.

Orientalid includes Arabid and Indid types. By definition most South Asians are Orientalids.

Interesting, do you have a source( for the bolded part)?

Orientalid includes Arabid and Indid types. By definition most South Asians are Orientalids.

Orientalid is most commonly taken to mean a Mediterranoid subrace including Arabid, Iranid, and Libyid, with Egyptid being Orientalid-Mediterranid.

If you include Indoid people among Orientalids then what you call Orientalid, I (and others) call Mediterranoid.

You previously said: "Northwestern Indians (who generally belong to more MENA influenced groups/Orientalid races)."

This gives the impression that in your view, Indoid people are Mediterranoid because of Middle Eastern-North African influence. This is not the case as Mediterranoids exist in India independent of MENA people.

[Septentrion]

Are they a pure Caucasoid sub-race, or are they mixed with Australoids? I have always considered them a stabilized blend of about 80-90% Caucasoid and 10-20% Australoid, made elegant by sexual selection. How accurate is this view?

Also, can somebody please clarify whether Europids are the only pure Caucasoids?

They not Caucasoids! They belong to Indian subrace! Why do people want them to be Caucasoids? They do share some similarities, but is not Caucasoid!!!! Some Indians are "blacker-skinned" than Africans, while others are as light as Semitic Caucasoids. Indians have their own race, they are not Caucasoids. Whoever puts them with Caucasoids is "Old School". Stop living in the past, when we thought that there are only three races ( phenotypically) of people. There are more than that!
