@omarali50 @blog_supplement Don't agree with the claim of "white people" at all. We already have early iron age swat samples and modern Indian jAti-s like Kashmiri PaNDita-s and Khatri-s cluster with the ancient Arya.
Not only this, but Fatyanovo (In the steppe)itself was mostly dark haired and brown eyed

@omarali50 @blog_supplement Not to mention "whiteness" itself is a very ahistorical and anachronistic concept. Myceanean Greeks had 5-10% Steppe Ancestry (less than many Indian chamAr-s/chANDala-s) today. Are Ancient Greeks "brown", "asian" or "european" ? Dr. Khan doesn't seem to have been objective here.
@omarali50 @blog_supplement BTW, as for "Racial Evidence" of the RV. There is very little. The snub nose claim doesn't stand, it meant "mouthless"(an-ās & not a-nāsa). Also, "black skin" (mṛḍhavacaḥ) is glossed by Sayana as hiṃsitavāgindriyān (having defective speech organs). Well in line with "mleccha"
@omarali50 @blog_supplement As for dāsyu-s. They are clearly an Iranic tribe. Are Iranics now "black skinned harappans" ?
Rudra is mentioned with brown arms and tawny(golden hair). Do such people exist? Why look into anthropomorphy in a battle of religious rites?

@omarali50 @blog_supplement To conclude, I think the evidence is extremley sparse for any such identifications. Indra does not stand accused.
