The evidence is that Greeks and Romans were certainly dark. I cannot speak
for early Indians, but one can guess. Celts/Germans on the other hand were
sometimes described as fair in Classical literature, while redheads
supposedly came from Thrace (red hair on an Athenian vase = Thrace = Slave =
Prostitute).

So, Vishal, if the original PIEans were blond/blue, does this means their
origin is to be sought in North Europe, rather than India????
