800 years???Rofl..learn history kiddo..
Right, 800 years?!
Being a softy softy person on India-related issues, HongWu somehow was way too conservative on this.
Let me lecture Indians on the history of India, the history by and large that is commonly taught and accepted in any renowned Western university/institute ( the history part, not IQ part which is THE political taboo of the Western mainstream, though.
India In fact has been invaded-conquered-colonised, on-and-off with mostly on, for almost entire its history* of the subcontinent by people or tribes from the North and the West of the Eurasia!
(* the reason I use history instead of recorded history is that Indians were so civilised -
- that in reality they hardly had kept ANY written history until the English colonisers came along. This phenomenon actually shocked the mainstream English historians at a time, because India was very much similar to sub-Sahara African tribes they encountered in this regard both didnt keep their own history well but relying on loose folktales passed on by generations orally!)
Now remember this, and remember it well: Per-modern India, unlike China, WAS NEVER ruled by a single government, NEVER ( for one who doubts, go look up credible sources from British Museum,/liabrary or any big shot western historian, etc), and it was only but very rarely ruled by a single state ( The closest try was Maurya Empire which ruled Northern India and it declined rapidly and finished soon after Asoka conquered most of the South a short insignificant flash in history that doesnt count strictly speaking). Rather, there were many independent states co-exited in the sub continenets at any time, most of them quite small.
1. Before 50 kya, Australoid ( being the closest genetic cousin of todays Australian aborigines, with average IQ about 60s, lower than Negroid of Africa who have about 70) , were the first Homo Sapiens / archaic Homo Sapiens arriving the subcontinent, still form the lion share of Indian population by contributing between 30% to 70 % of genes of an average Indian today, regardless his or her skin colour or profession being jobless untouchables or most white Bollywood stars who are the worlds best consumers of whitening cream skincare.
2. At about 8,000 BC, a Dravidian speaking Neolithic tribe (with IQ about mid 80s) from the Middle East came, won over local Australoid mass, and colonised the sub-continent.
3. At about 3,500 BC to 1,500 BC, several small waves of Aryans from Persia/modern Iran (with average IQ of about high 80s or even higher yet not blonde-blue-eyed Hitler types) came and colonised the sub-continent. They spoke a language that is closely relate dto ancient Sanskrit. These people bought todays India its many major languages including Hindi, Hindu religion, Caste system, etc, etc.
4. At about 8th century, the sub-continent was colonised by the Turks (with average IQ of about mid-high 80s), almost entirely in 10th century, after the Turks finished resistants such as Gurjara- Prathihara Empire in the region of North India.
5. Turks, after being chased out by China to the West Eurasia, came and colonised India till 1500s, until the Mogols (with average IQ of about 100) came along.
6.Mogols colonised the sub-continent soon after the Turks creating Mughal Dynasty by Babar, a descendant of Tamerlane and Genghis Khan. ( funny that the Head Quarter of Genghis Khan was in Beijing at a time, the centre of Mogol power who soon became Chinese in very each way)
7. Then as we all know, the Brits (with average IQ of about 100) came and colonised the sub-continent for 300 years creating British Raj, the forerunner of 60-year-old concept of India.
All these invaders colonised India for pretty much entire its history.
The bright side is that all these invaders had average IQ higher than the local Australoid, thus they gradually brought up the average IQ of India from 60s in 50 kya to about low 80s of today, due to intentional and unintentional mass inter-breeding with the locals.
Now, come again with freakin 800 years ??!!
