Risley ,Eickstedt, Hutton, B.S Guha, Sarkar, D.N Majumdar and S.K.Chatterji with little bit vibrations divided Western Brachycephal race ( Broad Headed) into following sub races
A-Armenoid –दरद आदि
B-Alpanoid -खश -काशि जाति
C-Dinaric शक जाति
Dr Guha states that the original race of Armenoid been in Uttarakhand or nearby and in later stage has either vanished or merged with populated race. There is less differences between Armenoid and Dinaric is that Armenoid has darker pigmentation. Sanskrit classic as Mahabharata includes Armenoid among Shudras.
According to D.c Sarkar, the Armenoid race was settled in Kashmir in old age. Today, from historian point of views, the Kohistan, Chitral, Kafirstan, Gilgit Kashmir region are called Armenoid region. The Darad language has total effects on development of Sindhi and Punjabi languages. Since, there is an effect on Garhwali and Kumaoni languages it is definite that Armenoid race was there in Garhwal and Kumaon. However, Armenoid merged with Khash in later stage. In Mahabharata, there is mentions of existences of Armenoid –दरद and Alpanoid -खश -काशि together.
किरातोराज्ञा विषय सुबाहो: पीनास्तुशारान दरदांश्च
देशान कुलिन्द्स्य च भूमिरत्नान (महाभारत , वन पर्व 117/ 11 , 12 )
क्रव्यादा: दरदा: दार्वा:
The above provides signal that may be in small groups or non dominating groups Armenoid lived in Mid Himalayas in ancient time.
