6. The Scytho-Dravidians

They are an admixture of the Scythians and the Dravidians. Some of the anthropologists hold that the Sakas belong to the Scythian race which came to India from Central Asia. They settled in the Sind Province of Pakistan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. The Scythian features are pronounced in higher castes, while the Dravidian features are associated with the lower strata of society. The Marathas are considered to be the representatives of the Scythian-Dravidian race. Their main features are low stature, long head, moderate nose, light brown to fair complexion, and scanty body hair.
