@anthroad2: Majority of South Asian dna is made up of SAHG (South Asian hunter gatherer) and Iranian HG DNA, but usually the third largest component is Western Steppe Herder DNA (from indo-Aryan migrations). We see that populations in higher castes tend to have higher steppe DNA, as well as many times higher overall west Eurasian DNA in total compared to lower castes, especially compared to Dalit communities within the same ethnic groups. This higher steppe DNA is due to how caste developed in South Asia, and how these indo-Aryan migrants were represented in these higher castes; even during a time where castes weren’t rigid; and today these genetic realities still exist. #anthropology #ancestrydna #indianhistory #castesystem
What if your Syro Malabar Christian? What is the equivalent caste for that

Caste was based on the occupation. Ie businessman vs soldier vs academic etc. it didn’t become rigid until 17th or 18th century by the British for ease of tracking population

The cast system is only important in India and it's a good idea to mix. Not all South Asians follow the cast system

I said "what about me?" he said I have the same strive to survive because I am Aboriginal. do we have troubles yes because I'm not good at speaking Punjabi.

YodaTheYogi :
The irony is that it is not caste-mixing that leads to genetic degradation, but repeated marriage within the same caste that can concentrate inherited genetic traits and increase the risk of certain genetic disorders. So, in this respect, the biological reality is almost the exact opposite of what caste ideology teaches.

I’m pretty sure that the caste system was based on inherited ancestral professions not genetics( which I don’t agree with obviously) . Perhaps they have developed slightly different genetics as they marry within a certain community for 100s if not thousands of years 😬 crazy how it genetically made people in the same country different
