This paper rewrites history... there is no north-south divide

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

Thank you for this article.

 

Interesting enough, a teaching assistant at my university actually gave a

lecture regarding " racial interrelations " in India. She acknowledged there

being Aryans and Dravidians, but said race was never really part of the

enforcement of social norms in India's history prior to colonialism. Thus,

there was no " racial interrelations " in India short of people acknowledging

coming from different states and territories. In addition, she said that

the only distinction ever made in the society was the caste system and she

said that distinction is not prevalent in urban areas of India anymore.

 

This said, a lot of new research in general suggests that there actually is

no genetic distinction between any race. Our physical differences come from

adaptation to climates and territory and environments. It is nice for more

research to come out and suggest similar things.

 

Jai Ma!

 

Sincerely,

Arya/Christina
