As a history student in Delhi, I know Risley's nasal index was a pseudoscientific tool measuring nose width to height, used to falsely rank castes by supposed racial "purity." Modern genetics completely refutes this, showing caste is social, not biological. But my father's hands—wide-nosed, flour-dusted, kneading dough for generations—hold a real lineage Risley could never measure, one of skill and resilience, not skulls.
