Best Answer

Indians tend to be Caucasians, so no for the most part. However, the Australoid Southeast Asians are related to the Veddas of Sri Lanka and perhaps some Advasis.

Are Indians Asian?

Yes, Indians are Asian. India is in Asia and if born in India, they were born in Asia. Therefore, they are Asians. * * * * If you mean ethnic background, scientifically there are the three main ethnicities in the study of anthropology: Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid. North Indians belong to the Caucasoid classification along with Arabs and Europeans. Regardless of skin color, notice how Indians have the same facial features. They have the Caucasian noses, wavy hair, thin lips, etc. South Indians are Australoid which is similar to Caucasoid. In some northeastern parts there are Mongoloids. In the very southern tip, there are some Negroid looking people. The majority of Indians are Caucasoid and Australoid. * * * * India is indeed in Asia. People who are from India are therefore necessarily from Asia and, hence, Asian. * * * * No they are not. This is a common misconception people make. They conclude that since India is in Asia, Indians must be Asian, but people from South America are not South American by race. Indians are in fact Caucasian (which also includes Europeans [whites] Middle Easterners [Arabs] and Latinos). The only true part of Asia whose original inhabitants are Asian, are the far east countries like China, Japan, Thailand, etc. * * * * No Indians are not Asian by race, and Asian is in fact a race. Many people automatically think that everyone from Asia is Asian, while this is not actually true. Just because you are from South America is your race South American? No. Indians are Asian however, not by race, but by political status. * * * * Asian is NOT a race, it is a geographic term. The correct anthropogenic term is MONGOLOID, and not all of them are Asians (ex. Native Americans). Geographically, Indians are indeed Asians. However, they are not Mongoloid. They are Caucasoid.
