Primary Objectives

  • Identify and classify Y-DNA haplogroups present among populations connected to the Indian subcontinent.
  • Improve understanding of paternal lineage diversity across regions, communities, and historical populations.
  • Trace ancient and historical migration patterns that shaped the genetic landscape of South Asia.
  • Encourage participants to upgrade testing where appropriate to refine lineage placement and phylogenetic relationships.
  • Facilitate collaboration between genetic genealogy enthusiasts, academics, and independent researchers.

Research Focus

  • Y-chromosome haplogroup distribution and diversity.
  • Ancient and medieval population movements.
  • Connections between genetics, archaeology, linguistics, and recorded history.
  • Reconstruction of paternal family lineages and clan histories.
  • Identification of previously undocumented or underrepresented Y-DNA branches.

Long-Term Vision

To create one of the most comprehensive Y-DNA resources for Greater Hindustan, providing a reliable platform for genetic genealogy research and contributing to a deeper understanding of the region’s paternal genetic heritage.
