wow she so white.

Is she Indo-Aryan stock mixed with Dravidian or just a pure Indo-Aryan living in the south?

She is telegu, which means she is pure Dravidian ( south Indian)

Only Telegu from southern Andhra Pradesh nearing the border of Tamil Nadus are dark and pure Dravidian.
If it she is a Telangana who comes from the upper northern half, they are mostly of mixed Indo-Aryan and Dravidian stock.

U r talking nonsense ....Dravidians vary in skin colour and that has nothing to do with where they came from...and there are dark north Indians too... Telegu are very similar to Tamil people, and they can understand and speak Tamil..
hi Midnight masala
I think I have already crossed path with you on this same topic for more than 1 time already, and I have provided the answers in the past as usual already.
Please take a look at this old thread and my replies quoted:

in terms of Southern beauties, i think you will agree that the brown skinned Kanarese and Telagana are beautiful. they looked naturally tanned and exhibit both a northern and southern admixture in their looks

south indian in themselves is also too big a territory
the four big states that are considered Dravidian and South Indian are Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala
the admixture of Northern and Southern Indians can be seen easily in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka (as I have mentioned in my earlier post - the Telagana and the Kanarese). in itself, the language of Telugu and Kannada also has more Sanskrit elements deeply embedded within itself than Malayalam and Tamil
in Kerala, the Brahmins from the north whom settled down abt 800yrs ago contributed to a sub-class of fairer people in Kerala. you will find fair and very tanned people in Kerala itself

if you take time to read some anthropological articles you will find that northern and southern indians no doubt look very different across the subcontinent, there are not much difference in their genetic markers
that means that since the Indo-Harrapan era when the Indo-Aryan migrated and mixed with the supposedly local Elamite population there has been much intermixture already and we cannot easily demarcate a north and south indian biologically other than outwardly physical appearances
(<< In this reply, I mentioned that "northern and southern indians ... not much difference in their genetic markers" in April 2009 [credits: Dieneke's -->
>> by September 2009, the below article [hereby referred as the 'new research results'] showed that "It is now clear that they are different from each other genetically as well")
I do know that Dravidians vary in skin colour if you talk about in the linguistic sense. And I also do know that there are dark north Indians.
But genetically, skin colour (& linguistical correlation) still correlates with genetic markers at large, given recent research on genetic distance.
From the (controversial yet scientifically substantiated) scholarly website on anthropology:
http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2009/09/560k-snp-study-reveals-dual-rigin-of.html
I will quote only this important paragraph related to our topic:
There is no evidence that Indo-Aryan and Dravidian speakers differ only in language. It is now clear that they are different from each other genetically as well, and this difference is not an "internal affair" of India, but is related to populations outside it. Indo-Aryan speakers differ precisely in having a larger ANI component.
And I am talking nonsense???
