Ravi,
Can you use the quote feature. It will make it easier to read your posts.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The Ionians, The Medes, The babylonians, the Armenians, all have a curled hair style. Only the Indians and Scythians are portrayed with straight hair. What more, the Scythians are presenting Arm bracelets which is almost distinctly subcontinental in significance.

Good point!
I never noticed that before about the Indians shown in the pic!
But the Scythians are wearing hats. How do you know they have straight hair?
Also I believe that "Hun" was a generic term for a group of tribes which included mongoloids and non-mongoloids.
Based on the descriptions provided by Roman commentators it appears that Attila was a Mongol.
Whereas the Ephtalites (white huns) were I believe more Indo-Iranian.
Mihirakula the famous Huna king was an Ephtalite.
