Jats do not have numerical numbers to get elected and have influence in politics. They have to make alliance with someone to get elected. Brahmins and thakurs consider themselves superior and will always marginalize jats and use them as they have done throughout history. Jats and bania have...

Let's get back to the admixture components. It seems to indicate that the results of all the jats tested, the admixture clusters with the pathan population (actually between pathan and Borusho population). Now, there are only 7-8 jats that have been tested, but the mean and variance of the...

Harrappa ancestory project is an effort to list admixture components of various people from subcontinent. It has about 170 people and several jats. The admixture components results given are real, and to ask for statistical component in admixture as Miss Duhan wanted in previous posts is...

There is no reputable private company that I am aware of giving this analysis for free. 23andme had a sale where you still have to subscribe to their newletter at $108/year. All in all, it still costs more than $200/kit. This is 23and me description of Vikram's Haplogroup is as follows (Copy...

No, my Y DNA is R2a. Interestingly 23andme finds that Vikram and I are related and share a chromosome.

I believe its the opposite. Father passes the 'Y' chromosome to his son. It is not passed on to the daughter. This is why in a woman's DNA analysis it is impossible to get Y marker, while the male DNA, you get both X and Y results. So in essence, its only the male child that passes DNA...

Interestingly, Vikram's Y DNA was Q1a2, which peaks among siberians. His admixture results were very close to mine and distinct from other Indian groups/caste Again, the Siberian link and elevated European admixture group leads credence to the Scythian origin theory. It would be interesting to...

Urmila Caucasian has nothing to do with white. The term Caucasian is termed for people who originated in Caucasus mountains near Georgia (Former Russian republic ). Heck, the term Caucasian even has 'asian' in it. One branch reportedly migrated to India. North Indian are termed as Caucasians...

23andme site gives the history of M4b (which is a branch of M). Its an ancient (60,000 old) mutation and is found in similar concentration from East Russia to Japan and from Siberia to South India. Dalits, Brahmins, Japanese, Siberians all have it in somewhat similar proportions. You really...

This is more for jankari and entertainment than anything else. Its interesting that Dr. McDonal's analysis which indicates that for all four jats from different region, the non Indian component comes from about the same area (Russia) rather than Turkey or Iran, and the subcontinent component...

Dr. McDonald has done his analysis and the result are at (scroll down for my results) http://blog.jattdna.org/ It seems all the jats are in a cluster and have Finnish/Russian ancestory. The percentage calculated are gathered by drawing straight line between the two similar population. If the...

The test from 23andme is not available in India, but essentially they send you a test tube, and you spit in it and add preservative (which they send), and send it back. Harappa ancestry project is a site doing study on sub- continent genome. There are 3-4 punjabi jatts on there. You will find...

I am not an expert, but they have a pretty comprehensive DNA file sent to me. My Paternal Lineage is R2A speculation is that it originated in Afghanistan. and unlike other genome did not migrate much. This really does not prove the Scythian theory. All it says that the gene has more similarity...

A company called 23andme.com was having a sale on DNA analysis, so I sent my 'spit sample' for analysis. We are Jats from UP. The results came and it showed that my genome clusters with Pathans and next closest cluster was Burusho people of Pakistan (Actually the result was on the cusp of...

If Pakistan was next to USA (where Mexico is), this would happen in the US too as there is no system that would keep this vermin out and also allow the freedoms that we enjoy. We can have all the vigilance that we need, but there are always loopholes in a democratic society that we live in...
