So I am a Brahmin curious about the genetics, history and culture of various different Brahmin subcastes. Wanted to know if anyone here has taken a dna test, if possible I'd like to know since I'm trying to collect more samples for us Brahmins based on subcaste and from different regions of India.

• Language experts think that the phrase originates from the reaction to hearing something that is on the fringe of what we find acceptable.
• We are Brahmin Tracing our roots back to 7 generations. We come from an unbroken chain from Rishi Bharadwaj. How dare you insinuate that the DNA test is going to be correct if it says that we are mixed with Afgan, African, and Middle Eastern DNA?
• This comment is made in Jest (if you follow this site, you know we value our Gotheram very much).
• I have seen and heard from my Brahmin friends, and generally, they were not happy after the DNA Test.

Hey most dna tests aren't good for understanding our results. The good thing from these dna tests is their raw. Me and some friends actually have a project where we collect samples of Indians and perform genetic analysis using a set of tools to calculate amounts of population admixture. The tool used is called ADMIXTOOLS of Harvard lab. It is the most accurate tool out there for the purposeIm mostly interested in the genetics of us Brahmins, Brahmins like all SA Asians are a mix of Steppe, indus farmers and aasi people.

Hey by chance could I possibly get the raw for the Brahmin people that perhaps tested. I'd like to run emm on qpAdm which will give a more detailed breakdown of how they score.

I am a Tamil Brahmin and I recently did my DNA test. I want to share some interesting ancestry information.

This is not My story, I am just sharing it here. I was surprised to find my paternal line migrated from eastern europe as recently as 6000-4000 years ago (and with most probability into India because as far as my family can remember - great great great grandfather / 16th century - they are all...

Y-DNA genetic evidence reveals several different ancient origins in the Brahmin population - PubMed

The ancient geographical origins of Brahmins-a prominent ethnic group in the Indian subcontinent-have remained controversial for a long time. This study employed the AMOVA (analysis of molecular variance) test to evaluate genetic affinities of this group with thirty populations of Central Asia...
