B.S. Guha has classified the population of India into six main racial groups.

B.S. Guha, a prominent Indian anthropologist, classified the Indian population into six main racial groups. This classification was part of his anthropological research, which aimed to understand the country's diverse genetic and cultural heritage. Guha's work in the mid-20th century was groundbreaking in its approach to categorizing the complex ethnic and racial compositions of the Indian subcontinent, highlighting the vast diversity and intermingling of racial traits in India.
