Referring to the Galwan Valley conflict that occurred last year, countless Chinese people felt regret that the 4 martyrs who died were deeply regretted, admired the heroic spirit of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives and forgot their deaths, and were even more inspired by the brilliant results of our army in winning more with less. In the midst of the conflict, there is a very eye-catching shot, rushing to the front of the Indian army and roughly pushing our regimental commander Qi Fabao is an Indian soldier with a yellow face, he is Soba from the Indian state of Manipur. Captain Maninba. Although the Indian army collapsed and fled in all directions that night, and also left a large number of cross-line and casualties, this person was actually awarded a medal afterwards, which was really surprising. Here, one wonders why there are yellow faces in the dark Indians.
India is known as "the world's largest ethnographic museum", which means that any skin color in the world can be found in India. Walking the streets of India, accompanied by dirty roads and dirty air, there are noisy and crowded people of all colors. This is truly an all-encompassing and bizarre country!
In the impression, only New World immigrant countries such as the United States and Brazil are "melting pots of nations", which encompass all countries, nationalities and all colors of the world. In fact, they are all the products of great geographical discoveries and waves of globalization. Before the opening of the new route, the world's most abundant races were among the Indian subcontinents. For thousands of years, different races have continued to enter India and merge with each other. Therefore, the characteristics of different races can be seen in the inhabitants of India, so India has the name of "ethnographic museum".
India now has a total population of more than 1.3 billion people, with more than 100 ethnic groups, which can be divided into five major categories according to ethnicity, in order of time of entry into India, namely the Negrid, the primitive Australian (i.e., the Australian race Vader type), the Mongolites (i.e., the yellow race), the Dravidians, and the Aryans. Among them, the Dravidians and Aryans make up the vast majority of the population of present-day India, and Indians in general usually refer specifically to these two groups of people.
<h1>01 Negrito people</h1>
The Negritos were the earliest inhabitants of India and the least populated race in India. They belonged to the Nirog race of the Negrid type, also known as the Pygmies, and were originally from Africa. This race is characterized by a dark complexion, slender and curly hair, much like black Africans but with many differences, short stature, an average height of 1.2-1.5 meters, short head and thighs, a flat nose, and wide lips.
They belong to the dwarf black race and can be found in the Kadar and Prayan peoples of Kerala, India, the Angamenaga in manipur and the Kuchi Mountains, the Ulari, the forest dwellers of South India, and the indigenous peoples of the Andaman Islands. The Negrito people stayed in the Stone Age for a long time, living the most primitive hunting and gathering life. After the arrival of new immigrants, the Negritos were often slaughtered, assimilated, or driven off the beaten track in the jungles of southern India and islands in the Bay of Bengal.
<h1>02 Primitive Australians</h1>
After the Negritos, primitive Australians moved into India on a massive scale. Primitive Australians were taller than the Negritos, had relatively thin lips, and had a brown or light black complexion. The Munda, Goyle, Santa and Biel peoples, who now inhabit vast expanses of western, central and eastern India, are generally considered to be descendants of primitive Australians. Outside of India, the Vida people of Sri Lanka are also typical representatives of this race, so they are also called Vader type people. Today, the total number of this race exceeds 10 million. Some scholars believe that such people came to South Asia before the Dravidians, so they are also called "pre-Dravidians".
<h1>03 Mongolians</h1>
The Mongols of India have not been known, in fact, in the early days, the ancestors of the Asian continent, which were mainly Mongolians, migrated to India, forming a third wave of foreign races moving into India. The Mongols of India can be divided into two main ethnic groups, the Mongols and the Sino-Tibetan-speaking peoples with close ties to the Tibetans. The descendants of the Mongols are Mughals, and due to their scarcity, their genes have long been integrated into the indian dominant ethnic group, and due to the mixed race, the physical characteristics of the Mongols are no longer obvious. In northeastern India, the Sino-Tibetan language peoples, including the Chakma and Rebcha, have distinctly yellow-clad characteristics. They have pale yellow complexions, flattened faces, small eyes, and sparse beard and body hair.
The Sino-Tibetan language peoples, mainly distributed in the northeast of India, migrated here over the lofty mountains in ancient times, including the pseudo-"Arunachal Pradesh" (southern Tibet), Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura, which are the main ethnic groups in these regions. The seven northeastern states are significantly different from the native part of India in terms of race, language, culture, etc., and have never been unified with the indian mainland in ancient times, and were not incorporated into India until the British colonial period, so their recognition rate of The Indian state is low. To this day, there are still serious separatist tendencies in the northeast of India.
There are about 20 million Mongolians in India, although the number is not small, but compared with India's population of more than one billion, it has been submerged in the ocean, so the outside world generally does not know much about it. This time, the conflict in the Galwan Valley has unveiled its mystery.
<h1>04 Dravidians</h1>
The direct ancestors of the Dravidians came mainly from the Mediterranean region and are known as Mediterranean people. Between 4000 and 3000 BC, Mediterraneans entered India and expelled, killed and fused the local primitive Australians to form the Dravidians. The Dravidians once spread throughout South Asia, creating a splendid Indus civilization in the Indus Valley in 2500 BC.
Around 1500 BC, the civilizations of the Indus Valley experienced the same fate as other regional civilizations. The Aryans, who originally lived in the steppes of Southern Russia and Central Asia, began to invade India, conquering the north and center of India, and some of the Dravidians were conquered by the Aryans and assimilated to speak the Aryan language, while the other part of the Dravidians retreated to southern India and still spoke the Dravidian language. Modern Tamils, Telugu, Malayalam, Tulu, Kodava, Kannada and other ethnic groups are descendants of the Dravidians, who have successively established ancient kingdoms of Andura, Pandia, Chola, and Jero in southern India.
According to the 2010 census, the Dravidian race accounts for a quarter of India's total population, with about 200 million people, ranking second only to Aryans.
<h1>05 Aryans</h1>
Originally inhabited the steppes of southern Russia, the Aryans invaded India around 1500 BC across the Khyber Pass in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent. They have fair skin, a tall figure, a narrow and long head, deeply sunken eye sockets, a high and narrow nose bridge, and thick hair. Originally a nomadic people, the Aryans lived by water and grass, and migrated and expanded over many centuries. These foreign nomads, skilled in archery and horseback, easily defeated the Dravidians, who were still using copper weapons and ox carts, by virtue of their military superiority in iron weapons and horse-drawn chariots, and gradually spread to many parts of the Indian subcontinent.
They embraced part of the latter's culture and gradually merged with it. Modern Hindustani, Kashmiri, Punjabi, Bengali, Rajastrian, Pakistani Sindh, Baluchin, Pashtun and Sri Lankan Sinhalese are all descendants of Aryans. They brought with them the Vedic culture and became the source of Hinduism as well as Indian literature, philosophy and art. The modern Indo-Aryan ethnic group is partially mixed with Dravidian ancestry, of which the Aryan Caucasian characteristics of Pakistan and northwestern India are more obvious, and the mixed characteristics of other regions are more obvious.
The Aryans established a caste system, and as the ruling class, these people occupied high caste positions in India as Brahmins and Chatis. In contrast to these blonde conquerors, the conquered indigenous peoples were short, dark-skinned, noseless, and known as "Dasa", i.e., slaves, who occupied low-caste positions. This system is very evil, because castes are hereditary, not easy to change, once labeled as a certain caste, it is difficult to remove, the level of social status, the quality of economic conditions, mostly related to caste.
<h1>06 Conclusion</h1>
India is truly a strange and inclusive country. This subcontinent is large enough, well-located, fertile, rainy and hot enough to feed enough people to attract waves of foreign invaders since ancient times. And because of its tolerance, its easy acceptance of foreign conquerors and their cultures, in the course of thousands of years of historical development, it has formed an extremely diverse civilization of multi-ethnicity, multi-ethnicity and multi-religion. Before the British colonized, India was a geographical term, and it was the centuries of British rule that put together the pieces of India like a puzzle. Today, India, the "giant" of the spelling, the world-famous "world ethnographic museum", is entangled in history and reality, tradition and modernity, contradictions and confusion, moving forward with "shackles" and continuing to do its dream of being a first-class country with sound and color.
