        brown is not a race. its a colour, there are white looking indians there are even dark indians, some indians aren’t even brown

        • monica says:

          Indians fit into the Caucasian category, according to most anthropologists (their skull shape, teeth, etc)

          72% of people from India are Caucasoid, 25% of people from India are Black/Australoid and 3% Mongoloid

          • monica says:

            The Oxford Dictionary gives this definition of Caucasian: 1 relating to a broad division of humankind covering peoples from Europe, western Asia, and parts of India and North Africa.

    SHE IS MIXED,SHE IS PRETTY TO BE ONLY INDIAN

    • Heather says:

      Bless you, you ignorant soul. India produces some of the most beautiful women in the world. She is FULL Indian, many Indians have Aryan blood and that is why she looks “mixed” to you.

  3. eMI says:

    SHE HAS BLUE EYES,SHE IS WHITE

  4. Kashfia says:

    Aishwarya has got to have some European ancestry because her eyes are naturally blue green. Only people of European descent have naturally blue or green eyes. If Aishwarya Rai was 100% Indian, her eyes would have been brown or black.

  5. MP says:

    She likely has some Scottish or Irish Ancestry.
