Sunil what is your message ? Please explain what 'Aryanness of Indians' means ? I think the 'Aryanness' ceased to exist as such after the integration of the Aryans with the (more civilised) Dravidians. I think the chronicled history has acknowledged the above fact. In the Catholic schools in India, Jesus is always 'white-washed', though Krishna is black (shyam) & was a Dravidian.
