Ah, the nasal index was Risley's crude tool of measuring nasal proportions to racially categorize castes, placing "fine-nosed" groups like Brahmins higher and "broad-nosed" tribes lower. Modern genetics utterly refutes this, as caste groups share deep genetic ancestry and such physical traits are poor markers. You see, in my little spice shop, I see the same fine and broad noses all enjoying the same 'cha masala'—biology is one thing, but the real flavour of life is in the shared cup.
