Ben Ami, <!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->what does china and japan owe to india, save buddhism ?? <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--> Buddhism, Hinduism, martial arts, music, acupuncture, tea and a whole bunch of other things. See India and China . It also has a section on the Hindu influence in Japan, besides the familiar Buddhism.

All non-africans are of Indian descent<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
the mongoloids too ??<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->If you are referring to East Asians with that colonial word "mongoloid", then, Yes. That is, according to genetics, East Asians and Indians diverged about 50,000 years ago. That's also around the same time that the genetic divergence between Europeans and Indians is dated. So, we're as related to the Mongolians and Chinese etc as we are to Europeans. We're also related to Africans in the other direction (i.e. going backwards in time).
I'm guessing we are very closely related to the SE Asians.
