WHITE POWER! It really depends, there are hot Indian girls and there are ugly Indian girls just like every where else. I for one wouldn't mind banging half the chicks in Bollywood films.

[JohnTruels]

I've never dated an Indian girl and likely never will however that doesn't stop me from agreeing that many Indian chicks are hot.

Hm, they must have British heritage. Or are all Indians that fair-skinned? Upper castes are usually fairer-skinned. The most extreme example is the Chitpavan Brahmins of Maharashtra - they don't look Indian, they look white.

Let's see how many here can tell the gender of the people in the following photos (I crave in advance the indulgence of the new administration for turning this into a Babe thread ):

EDIT: cross posted with Oderin and seems its the later guess in his opinion

You have a lot of different types (ethnicities) of people in the subcontinent. Remember that there were a lot of invasions from the west also.

Interesting, I'm wondering how this came about as you would think that at one point everyone was more homoginous. Given the Indian caste system its concivable that a selective preshure for fair skin could have over the centuries resulted in a significant genetic difference in the different castes.

This also reminds me of another interesting thing I had read. For most societies up untill the industrial revolution fair skin was considered desirable because the lower classes were taned by their work in the fields. Only the upper class stayed in doors enough to become pasty. Cosmetics were typicaly used to lighten the skin. Post industrial revolution the typical person works in a factory and gets little sun, now only thouse with sufficient leashure time get a nice tan particularly on their vacations to equitorial climates and the whole trend is reversed as tanning becomes a status symbol.

The point is that such a thing even exists, people want to be tanned rathen then powder their faces white. Given that desire its not suprizing that we invented an accelerated tanning process and marketed it to the masses.

Those more closely descended from Muslim invaders are fairer-skinned as well.

They're naturally fair. Yeah. I believe that is all part of the Arryan invasion theory. That is Indo-Europeans from central Asia invaded the subcontinent and set up the caste system to preserve their line due to being vastly outnumbered by the native people.
