Interesting narrative on the Mahanubhava sect founded by Chakradhar, which was a Hindu reformist movement advocating against Vedic authority, Caste division, Untouchability, and Sanskrit primacy.
This movement gained traction in the Yadava kingdom, causing great resentment from the Brahmins and other elites, who in retaliation murdered Chakradhar.
Its believed that persecution from Brahmanical Hindus so enraged the Mahanubhava sect, that they collaborated with oncoming Muslim conquerors to depose the Yadava kings.
Very similar to the Sindhi Buddhists eagerly joining the Muslims to depose the Brahmanical Chach regime.

Karma spares nobody it seems.

The Indus Valley Civilization appears to have been somewhat diverse genetically. Note that some individuals can be modelled as purely Indian and Iranian Hunter-Gatherers (HG), while others show signs of Caucasian HG ancestry. Image
On average, the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) can be represented as the following population admixture: Image
Compare to Iranian Pastoralists around 8000 BC, who are mostly Iranian HG, with some Caucasus HG, and a touch of Levant HG. By 4000BC however, the Iranian Farmers show more Levantine ancestry, and a lot of input from Anatolian Farmers. ImageImage
