The history of ancient India is kind of a mystery so nobody knows for sure what went down, but the idea that white hordes from the north invaded India and subdued the black population and drove them south is outdated cacology that had a racist foundation from the beginning. People just went with those assumptions based on the darker skinned south indians who have their own language group (dravidian) as opposed to the lighter skinned Indians up north who speak an Indo-Aryan language. Sanskrit is an indo-european language, but instead of postulating that maybe European languages originated in India, cacs instead argued the opposite. It's still hotly debated today.
A couple of problems with this theory is that the Vedas never speak of a place outside of India that the Aryans came from. All the sacred places referenced in them are in India itself. IF the Aryans were some sort of racially proud people, why didn't they talk about where they came from? Secondly it's a well known fact among Indians that the purest forms of vedic hinduism aren't even found in the North today, they are found in the South. All the premier gurus who went on to define the religion are from Dravidian South. Sankaracharya, Madhvacharya, Ramanujacharya....these are the top 3 saints of the hindu religion...all vedic brahmins, all Dravidian south Indians.
India was one of the first places humans migrated to after they left Africa. We know that, and anybody who argues otherwise is an idiot....and they were of course all dark skinned. Naturally there was probably different kinds of people who came about because of this after a while with their own way of life or whatever but once the Vedic/Aryan culture started to pop off, it was a wrap. There were people who resisted the takeover and chose to keep their original ways of life and those are the people who eventually became the untouchables...people who fall completely outside the caste system. The rest were organized under the 4 well known castes we know today, and that's the way its been for thousands of years.
People in the North are lighter skinned because India has been invaded by mad people throughout history....notably lighter skinned Persians and Arabs. South Indians are probably a "purer" breed of Indian in that respect but that's as far as it goes, imo. India is just as diverse as Africa in a lot of ways. Simplifying things the way some of these self-appointed experts do is retarded.
