The aboriginals of India, at least those who mixed with Iranians, were not flat-nosed like their Paniya cousins and did not even speak Dravidian languages like them.

>According to Arvind Sharma, Ambedkar noticed certain flaws in the Aryan invasion theory that were later acknowledged by western scholarship. For example, scholars now acknowledge anās in Rig Veda 5.29.10 refers to speech rather than the shape of the nose. Ambedkar anticipated this modern view by stating that there are two main understandings of the word Anasa. The first, by Max Müller, is read as a-nasa, and refers to having a flat nose, or no nose at all. Whereas, the second, by Sayanacharya, is read as an-asa, and refers to the lack of mouth, or the lack of good speech. Although Ambedkar acknowledges that Müller's version supports the belief that Dasyus and Aryans were of different races, he claims that there is a lack of evidence for this view, and expresses support for Sayanacharya's view

>One of the oldest fossils found in South Asia. The individual was robust, exhibiting above average skull length (192mm), breadth (146mm), bizygomatic breadth (145mm), long mastoid process (31mm) and a porion-bregma height that falls within the average value (115mm). His cranial capacity was about 1450 cm3, while stature is estimated to be between 168-175cm

AASI fossils definitively prove that Mesolithic hunter gatherers in India were somewhat robust and had large cranial capacities for the time period. We can also examine their material culture; sure enough we see evidence of advanced microlithic technology which in many ways was equivalent to the later neolithic developments associated with farming. Some European hunter gatherers also created microlithic cultures, and they are similarly associated with higher cranial capacities.
