The only one that I know for sure is Gujarat, that is only because I know someone from there. I would also assume Jammu and Kashmir for obvious reasons. There probably is at least a few more but I'm not sure what they are. Hope that gets you started.

Well, think about it for a second, what stops everyone from coming in and saying, "Hey I am part Indian, show me the money.”???  Sometimes it is easy to see that someone has a specific ethnic background locked inside their genetic makeup, and for others it is harder.  This of course is do to one parents genes being the more predominant, so this would be why they ask for verification.  Make sense??

I know that many south Indians use their fathers first name as a last name...(SOUTH INDIA) I've also heard that some  Scandinavian countries follow the same method.Such as Denmark and Sweden.

Bravo!! You think good.  Actually people are not jealous but are biased towards the backward class. I agree with you to do away with the caste system.

We don't have some kind of reference like this one..but why don't u check some kind tribe who lives on the border of India, Nepal and Myanmar..We called them " Hta - Yone " race in Myanmar( I don't know the name in English for sure, but I know that they are very small, thin and short...their tribe now remains only 4 persons..which means that we will lose some ancient tribe after 20  or 30 years from now on..)

Puri in india\nJagannath Temple at Puri\nSituated on the eastern coastline of the country, Puri is an important town of Orissa, an eastern state of India.\nThe Temple of Jagannath stands on an eminence near the sea at Puri, situated on the east-coast of India. For centuries Puri, Purushottama Puri, so Sri kshetra, as the place is variously known, has been an important centre of Hindu worship, famous alike for sanctity and historic associations. "Puri" is the seat of Jagannath, the Lord of Universe; the sanctity of the place exists from pre-historic period where traditions cannot reach." The Origin and the antiquity of Jagannath worship at Puri is still shrounded in mystery. According to tradition, Puri, which is also known as Niladri (the Blue Mountain), was once a richly wooded hill inhabited by the Savaras, a pre-Aryan and Pre-Dravidian tribe of the Austric linguistic family.

Really good question. I'm not a Hindu so, I tried to find the answer for you.\nThe caste system was a clever invention of the later Vedic people, who found it to be a convenient way of perpetuating their religious distinction and social privileges.\nThe caste system is based upon the organization of society into four distinct classes. The criteria for this classification was originally the color of the skin and later occupation. The four distinct castes were: 1. Brahmins (priests) who had the exclusive right to perform Vedic rituals and Vedic studies, 2. Kshatriyas (warriors), whose responsibility it was to protect the people, wage wars and rule the lands, 3. Vaishyas (traders), who had the right to engage in trade and commerce and own the agricultural lands and 4. Shudras (the unclean) who had the burden of serving the other three communities in discharging their respective duties. Apart from these, there were untouchables, who lived outside the communities and were not allowed to enter freely the towns and villages. They were assigned the menial jobs and kept out of sight an out of reach.\nThe Rigvedic society probably had a caste system that was flexible and allowed an individual to change his caste if he so desired. But during the later vedic period it became very rigid. The caste system was responsible for the weakness of Hindu society and for the invasion and subjugation of Hindus by several foreign forces. The physically strong shudras were condemned to pure agricultural labor and menial jobs. They would have been more useful as fighters and soldiers and defended the land well against foreign invasions. \n\nToday untouchability is a serious crime. But the idea of caste system still prevails in the minds of many Hindus. The following points are worth noticing:\n\n1. Inter caste marriages are not approved in many traditional and rural communities. \n\n2. Caste based organizations and associations still exist in India and play a crucial role in perpetuating the idea of caste and the politics of caste. \n\n3. Upper caste people are very much agitated over the government's reservation policy.\n\n4. Caste conflicts often lead to violence and bloodshed in backward areas. \n\n5. In many educational institutions students tend to group themselves on the basis of caste, with the tacit connivance of teaching faculty. A similar trend is often noticeable in the work places.\n\n6. Caste is an important factors during general elections and many politicians shamelessly and clandestinely seek votes in the name of caste.\n\n7. Indian temples are still under the siege of caste chauvinism. The temple administrations, some of which are managed by government officials, do not recruit people from other castes to act as temple priests.

Pirojsha Godrej(1882-1972) laid the foundations for what is today the Godrej Industries Group. He was the son of Burjorji Godrej and a member of the Parsi community.\n\nWorking with his elder brother Ardeshir Godrej, who was the inventive force behind the partnership, Pirojsha made Godrej a household name in India. Pirojsha had three sons, Sohrab, Burjor (Wife: Jai Dastur) and Naval(Wife:Soonoo Dastur) and a daughter named Dosa(Husband:Kaikhushroo Naoroji). Pirojsha experienced a great tragedy in his life when his young wife named Soonabai died in Mussoorie due to the Influenza epidemic.\n\nThe industrial township Pirojshanagar outside Mumbai is named after him.

That last name is given to those who are descendants of Muni Bhargav .  A Sanskrit saying states  that all those born of Bhrigu are Bhargavas.  \nWikipedia says: The Bhrigus, also known as Bhargavas, are a clan of sages descending form the ancient fire-priest Bhrigu. They instituted the ritual of offering the juice of the Soma plant to the old Aryan deities. Some of them were also warriors in addition to being priests. The Bhrigus are intimately linked with the composition of the Atharva-Veda.

I'm sourthern Indian and I'm ashamed to say that the caste system stays alive and well here. (It's worse in the North with added problems.) Many of us throw all of these out and believe every human being is the same as the other. There is no 'low' and no 'high'. Consider this the same as racism. Most of them are not fortunate to break away from the caste system, because of the way they've been brought up -  to think that this is 'right'. It's going to take a very long time for India to turn around. Having said that, we've got lots of beauty in our people too and most of my friends have married people from other communities and inter-racially too :-) Of course, the whole bunch is judged by one bad apple. Pity, this opinion will stick, untill the entire problem goes away.

You pretty much have it right. The prevalent theory is that the Dravidians were the original inhabitants of the Indus Valley Civilisation. Don't mistake them for Africans though. They don't appear African save for the colour of their skin. Most of them actually have strait or wavy hair. \n\nThrough the ages there were several migrations of Caucasians into India and this resulted in a blending of culture and races.\n\nToday it's more common to find darker skinned people in the south, and lighter skinned people in the north, and also some oriental traits in the east. After centuries of inter-racial marrying, however, there isn't a distinct difference in races like there is in North America.\n\nThere is a distinct linguistic different though. There are four languages spoken in the South (five if you count the country Sri-lanka) which are of Dravidian origin. The Northern languages derive from Sanskrit. \n\nThe only languages that do not belong to one of these two families are Urdu (which is of Persian origin) and English (which is of Germanic origin).
