Relevance how?

Oh and that reminds me, Indians sometimes like to claim Afghan, Central Asian/Caucasian or Arab heritage.

That's because some do have it. There were plenty of Muslims from Afghanistan and Iran who settled all over the Subcontinent. One of the most famous Bengali Muslims is Shah Jalal and came to Bengal in the 13th century, leading the Muslim conquests of Bengal, but was born in Turkey. He is one of the most revered Bengali Muslims. Up until 6-7 centuries ago all of Bengal was Hindu, but. A series if Muslim invasions led to the Islamicasation of it to the point around 65 to 70 percent of all Bengalis are now Muslim

Don't you feel slightly embarrassed about boasting of such things? If I were Indian I'd be pissed with you.

I am not boasting. What's there to boast about? In fact, the three that married whites were/are sort of outcastes. Their families did not approve for a long time but came round later. Personally I would never marry a White. My closest female friend is a Gujariti Muslim who I would probably marry in the next few years.
