They have similar amount of traits that can be termed as either Caucasian or Mongaloid. Therefore, it fits into neither. South Asians (British Raj region as well as some nearby islands and Sri Lanka) are in that distinct group. Sinhalese, Tamils and Native Waddahs all belong to a distinct group, and they are not included in the normal skull based 5 races.Unfortunately, this was discovered in a similar time to skull based racial distinction being derided as a racist pseudo science, so the distinction was never officially mentioned as a new -oid race. However, if you want to use those terms, Sri Lankans and Indians are neither Caucasian nor Mongaloid. They belong to a completely different race that we can call South Asians. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😊" title="Smiling face with smiling eyes    :blush:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png" data-shortname=":blush:" /></blockquote>
