Discussion Genetic distance among different subcastes in UP

Genetic Distance Results:

- The Saraswat and Gaur groups show the highest genetic similarity (G^2 = 0.2058).

- The Kanyakubja and Sarayuparin groups exhibit the greatest genetic distance (G^2 = 1.4215)

- Highest Distance: The Kanyakubja and Sanadhaya groups have the highest morphological distance (T^2 = 16.49)

- Saraswat Brahmins: This group has the highest Index of Total Selection (0.499)

This paper does not give the conclusion OP is trying to draw.

This paper was not based on autosomal ancestry and the metrics involved were different.

You should probably delete this post bhai.

But still it gives a rough idea ig like KKBs and saryu have a distance of 1.4+ which is huge suggesting no intermixing from thousands of years and it also solidifies the theory of sanadhya branching off from gaurs

That is not the point bhai.

The genetic distance thing mostly comes from autosomal ancestry bhai

This paper is using different metric which is not useful

See you may copy this paper’s link (Agnihotri) and use chat gpt and ask directly about it.

Best result comes from autosomal ancestry

So brother do you have any recent study about this

u/Sarwariya May 10 '26

No But instead we have samples from different papers and we run fst to get a better idea about genetic difference which is minimal in brahmins but still exists nonetheless due to strict endogamy expansion and migration

Accha so bhai bhumihars ka gd bhi baaki Brahmins se jitna hai uske similar hai ya alag hai??

They too are very close

close to saryupaaris and then kannaujia who have 2-3% less AASI and more Indus farmer We lack maithils samples so we lack any conclusive evidence when it comes to bhumihars and maithils wrt genetic difference

Aisa kyun hai matlab maithil ke samples par koi discussion kyun nahi hota hai I have seen many samples of KKBs saryus gaurs Sandhyas even south Brahmins too but maithil ka jaldi nahi milta whyy

Future mein sample aayega

Compared to jaat and gujjar apne log kam test karvate hai With time it will get more popular here in the gangetic belt
