I don't know about that...''Aryanness'' of Indians is kinda overblown (perhaps due to Bollywood)...
Indians generally have a very homogenous look:
North Indians:

South Indians
Don't know about you guys, but I can't see a damn sign of ''Aryan'' blood in here. If Indians have ''Aryan'' blood, it's probably in the 1-10% region.....Indians look like a mixture of Australoid + Caucasoid...
Kashmiris, Kalash, etc. generally cannot be mistaken for an Indian or even a Punjabi from Pakistan, although a good amount have a small South Asian vibe to them. It also makes sense, these people are northernmost part of South Asia/India, close to central asia.
As you can see, the difference between South and North Indian phenotype is not as huge as Bollywood makes out...Good amount of light skinned Bollywood actors are said to be from outside India, and most others from India use skin bleaching powders to make skin lighter for movies:

Now:


it shows the lightskin obession society of India.
