Solution

Racial classifications are made based on the certain distinctive physical features and genetic traits. These traits are referred to as racial criteria and lead to racial diversity. It is difficult to construct a systematic ethnography of millions of Indians. However, several anthropologists have given racial classifications of Indian people.

Example: B.S. Guha classifies Indian people into six main racial groups; viz.

  1. Negrito
  2. Proto-Australoid 
  3. Mongoloid 
  4. Mediterranean or Dravidian
  5. Western Brachycephaly
  6. Nordic
