Telingan
Telingan, or Indian race, was a term in British Victorian racial science, now discredited, referring a subset of the inhabitants of "the eastern parts of India, especially about Calcutta, several isolated spots in other parts of India, and the east coast of Madagascar" with "dark complexion, (best imitated by a mixture of red and black) the skin is soft, the features are like those of Europeans, hair straight and fine, and the beard copious": The Eastern Hindoos, those at least who make visits to the East India islands, present great uniformity in their personal appearance; and, in this respect, they agree with the tribes and nations situated to the eastward of Hindostan. The complexion is much the same as in the two preceding races, and is so decidedly darker than in the Malayan, that by common consent it is called black; although, on comparison, the hue differs widely from that of the unmixed Negro.
