During Alexander's campaigns, some of his soldiers stayed back in India. They primarily settled in 2 areas of India, one of which is the region you visited - which explains the blue eyes and fair skin (genes traced back to Greeks). I mention this only because, we have a lot of people with European genes owing to colonials (British, French, Dutch, Portuguese etc) who conquered various parts of the country and mingled with the natives.
