These farmers women are living in Maharasthra not far from Mumbai.

Can you explain their ethnic background according to their phenotype? (I mean the whole group - no individual person of them)

from left to right: #1 and #5 woman have a litte bit North Indian admixture, but on my mind the whole group belong to the same ethnic group. (the experts of India and Pakistan explained me, not to classify them Dravidian cause this is a linguistic group ;) ..).

I classify them Dalit

That's what they are, I believe as well.

Indo Melanid/Indo Brachid some have Veddoid and Paleo Mongoloid too.

It's not necessary. I've been to Maharashtra, it's not that uncommon to find this look in non-Dalits.

Maharashtra can be considered a mix of central India and south India by race. Maharashtra, Telangana, Goa and Karnataka are south-central India.

None of them are dalits. They're farmers so they're vaishyas or shudras. They're all of the same ethnic background, which is marathi, but I think the 5th woman might be the landowner or something based on her looks and clothing.

Interior MH folks look similar to kannadas and telugus. In coastal MH and karnataka or konkan region, they look like a transition between gujaratis and malayalis.
