@mdashraff @Shaileshmpuroh2 @saket71 @suchitrav @mdashraff Recent DNA study has shown that India was the homeland of Harappans (Indus Valley Civilization).

Harappans were non-Hindu South Indian tribals. They spoke Dravidian language. Hindus came to India as Aryans (Vedic Hindus).

2. Indus Valley settlers had a distinct genetic lineage’

@mdashraff @Shaileshmpuroh2 @saket71 @suchitrav Recent reports further confirms the existence Tamil Civilization, which may be related to Indus Valley Civilization ( Harappans), since both these groups had similar Dravidian language. This discovery further challenges the Aryan dominance.

@mdashraff @Shaileshmpuroh2 @saket71 @suchitrav Keezhadi excavations (Madurai) may confirm earlier DNA studies, which showed two origins:
1) Ancestral North Indians (ANI), who are related to Central Asians, Europeans etc.,
2) Ancestral South Indians (ASI), who are primarily from India (Harappans).

@mdashraff @Shaileshmpuroh2 @saket71 @suchitrav @mdashraff 1) Dalits/Adivasis are not Hindus coz they were nit allowed to enter temples. Therefore, all Dalits/Adivasis converts are not Hindu converts. If Adivasis are considered as Hindus,RSS wouldn’t have kidnapped Adivasi girls for Hindu conversion.

@mdashraff @Shaileshmpuroh2 @saket71 @suchitrav @mdashraff In addition to Irnian agriculturists & SE Asian hunters (Indus Valley Civilization) & Aryans, there several several settlers in In India. Kerala settlers were Jews,Persianimmigrant settlers, Knanaya colonies, Syrian settlers, etc. First Christian converts were Jews.

@mdashraff @Shaileshmpuroh2 @saket71 @suchitrav India-Indians were unique pluralistic society for 1000s of years- Harappans, Iranian agriculturalists, Aryans (Hindus) Jews, Babylonians, Syrians, Knanaya colonies, etc.

23andMe data shows genetic complexities. Example is Kerala’s genetic diversity.
