I’ve been classified as NordIndid with showing Iranid and Med traits and it’s the best looking type in South Asia and I’m not being bias. LOL X

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.

I wouldn't say that this man is "long-headed". He seems to be intermediate (mesocephalic).

How does this phenotype correlate with the varna system? I would expect higher frequency in the brahmin and kshatriya castes, but have no anecdotal or other evidence to back that suspicion up.

Punjabis in general aren’t even that dark. Sikhs are substantially lighter than south Indians for example, but it’s not just their skin tone that differentiates them...

Just LOL @ Punjabi women saying “it’s okay to be the color of the Earth” I’m like bitch you don’t know what brown means until you visit Tamil Nadu
