Do I pass in all India?

[Borealis]

Or are there some places where I would be perceived as a nonlocal? This is excluding the Mongoloid east of course.

[Dna8]

From memory of your aesthetic, you pass best in Central India (then tending North and West)

+ the North East

Are you familiar with the looks of each region?

My understanding:

Aesthetic zones of India:

NW
NE
Central
Southern
Deep South (Andamanesque)

What about in rural areas.

You pass in Mexico too tbh.

Really? Interesting..what part? I know Mexico is diverse there are some areas with more native population, others with more European. Most Mexicans I have seen here look different to me but again all of Latin America is diverse.

The mexican diversity is very strong inside of Mexico than in the U.S for example you can be in Mexico and see Mexicans looking no different than Northern Europeans or Arabs or even Indians Pakistanis Punjabis etc .


Mexican diaspora in U.S is more typical mestizo for example I'm full mexican and if I say one of my parents is white american and other mexican is passable since I look no different than Jessica Alba in terms of euro/amerind.

The OP has killer cheekbones, IIRC

Makes sense. I would see myself passing in more native and triracial areas of latin america mainly.

Not really if you were mexican i would classify you as 50-60% Euro only your long hair makes you stand out a bit though.

[Thambi]

yes you can pass in all of india except for northeast (excluding Assam).

[Dna8]

OP's face looks a bit like Indian version of young Arnie.

[HelloGuys]

idk how you look, so I cannot answer...

[Borealis]

Which regions are best and worst?

Never gotten that before, but thanks :thumb001:

[Dna8]

Never gotten that before, but thanks :thumb001:

You have a strong face like young Arnie: masculine, but with killer cheek bones

[Dna8]

Imagine an Indic version of the face below (OP is also solidly built (but not like Arnie, no offence)):

I have seen you look among east up uppercaste and muslims

[JohnSmith]

I have no idea but I would think you would pass pretty well. I had a Paki friend in college and I remember him saying most people in Pakistan/India can tell if your not from there based on if you are overweight or not.

Is there a difference among looks for different castes?

I'm fat?

IDK, I suppose most people are not too fat in India.

[Morena]

Maybe thick or robust? You don’t have that very skinny look or chubby look Indians who grew up in India have.

Yeah but he was implying I do pass there very well for that reason, which is why it's confusing :confused:

Huge difference for me but you can't see

I do not know much but I am obsessed with Indian culture. I want to go there and visit. I think the caste system was such an interesting system and i know it has roots among the Indo-Aryan and Hindu peoples in India. I also see Indians and Anglo-Saxons as being the same root of the Indo-Ayran/European peoples that created the languages we speak and the culture we follow. Much of it started in India. India has such a rich history it is something to be very proud of.

Indo-European languages came from the Eurasian steppe. The ones which arrived in India were proto-Nordics and they established a brutal caste system to maintain racial purity(as much as they could). The natives were put at the bottom while the top were admixed with these Europeans.

They all came from somewhere and are related to some extent. How do we really know that the migrants imposed a caste system for racial purity?

Well it is not easy to say for sure how it came to be but some have theorized, and that will be my theory until/if further evidence contradicts it, but we already see an extremely rigid caste system where people have not married across for centuries+the fact that the upper castes have more European admixture, in many cases as much as 20%!

And thinking about it logically, if you were blonde haired, blue eyed, and tall living at that time, and you arrived upon a very dark skinned and short race of people, your instinct would be to think you are superior somehow. That's how people think.

But why just India? There are dark and short people from Turkey all the way to India. Is there are evidence of such a system in places like Iran or Afghanistan.

No, and those people living there were much darker and different featured than other races, and also their culture was also very different.

It is also interesting and amazing how large India's population is. If you wanted one person to represent the world it would be a person that is a cross between South Asian and East Asian.

Large and fertile land led to an accumulation over many years

[lonewolfcypriot]

we need to see a picture first

[JohnSmith]

This picture says a lot. It makes me think that in thousands or millions of years we will look more like the stories you hear of grey aliens. There are theories that aliens that people say are visiting earth are not aliens at all but humans from the future. Very interesting concept.

I am of course not familiar with the intricacies of South Asian aesthetics.. but if I were shown a photo of you and asked to guess if you were Hindu or Muslim, I would guess Muslim.
