Most caucasians live in India.

So I'm guessing... curry?

You're either thinking of Indo-Europeans or Aryans, I suspect, most of whom do live in India, despite their names being co-opted as a synonym for 'whitey.'

Sorry, friend, "Caucasian" is the name of that vast group of people derived from the (Indo-European) population that spread out from the Caucasus mountain region about 50-40 thousand years ago. It includes Middle-easterners, Europeans, North Africans, Iranians, Turks, Indians, and some Central Asians.

Somehow, I doubt that's what the OP was referring to.
