Well, all of this is so interesting. India is not a single country, its a continent, so the whole discussion is based upon a lack of understanding on everyone's part.
I have yet to meet an Indian who wants to prove that he is white or black.
And let us understand what Aryan really means, because it sure as hell doesn't mean white!
The word aryan is sanskrit and pre-dates a civilized and organized white population. The word is 7000 years old at least - Europe was still living in caves back then.
Historically, there was never an aryan invasion as in there never was a white or central asian invasion of any kind in 3500 BC as the British and Germans tried to prove for so long:

And Here is what happened to Alexander the Gay.

[/size]ere is what actually happened vs. what they kept telling people for years: in.rbth.com/blogs/2013/05/27/marshal_zhu...india_invasion_25383
[/size]
The first and only invasion from the Russian clan of Kushanas who ruled parts of Afghanistan and what is today Pakistan. So, the whole invasion theory falls on its face.
In fact, it was quite the reverse. Multiple records have now been found to prove that Indians had invaded much of the western world, and the invasions were not always military.

Linguistics: Languages across the "Indo-European" belt is the same or similar, but not because as Max Mueller proposed people had travelled to India from Europe. Archaeological finds show that Indo-European languages first developed in India. Much like the Chinese and other Eastern languages developed in what was known as Tibet.
Religion: Again, Europeans simply could not face facts. There was this single religion across India, Egypt, Middle East, and Europe. Anyone who has the time to study will find that paganism, hinduism, and all are the same religion.
Study the Sun temples of India, the temples of Ra in Egypt and the pagan temples across Arabia and Tunisia, the Mihira (sun) temple in Armenia(which is still a pagan country), and even as far away as England, and you will realize that its the same temple! Even the names match.
The rituals when pilgrims head for Hajj are the same rituals that Egyptians used to follow and that South Indians follow even today in the cities of Puri and Balaji.
In fact, you can't even define Hinduism or Paganism, or any other ancient "ism". Some people are polytheists, some are atheists, and some are monotheists. Some worship idols, some don't. And these "religions" have existed for millenia. For some reason, they thought it would be fun to group all belief systems that existed in India and call it Hinduism which is funny at best.
Reason why its all the same: Trade by land and sea.
While Europeans may have "discovered" the sea route to India in the 1600s, India had "discovered" Europe long before that. In fact, it was an Indian cargo ship anchored at what is now South Africa that escorted the first European ship (captained by a Portuguese guy named Vasco Da Gama) to the shores of India.
Trade relations have existed between port cities in India, Middle East, Africa, and Europe (mainly Italy and Greece) for well over 7000 years. We know this because of the coins and clay contracts found at said submerged as well as existing ports.
But that's not all. Inter-cultural/Inter-racial marriages were not unheard of at these port cities.
Why the Black or White theories don't fit?
Simple. About 40% of India's current population has descended from the Mongoloid race that trickled in from the East around 12000 BC and have some or all of that race's characteristics. Another 30% of the Population has clearly descended from Africans and are also categorized as Negroids

About 30% of the population has commonalities with Caucasians including the color of the hair. In fact, I know quite a few people who pass through airport security without a hitch because they look about as Irish as Irish can be.
India is a beautiful amalgamation of people and cultures.
Anyone who ever traveled to India, settled there. Even today, the same thing is happening. Which is more than what one can say for much of the world.
The world is coming back full circle - from India and China controlling 70% of world trade in the 17th century to crashing down to now again controlling world trade. If being a world leader across the board is what a "failed" destiny is, then so be it.
