No study of Y-chromosome haplogroups. A major draw back. 2. A strong differentiation is observed between caste(Brahmin, Khatri, Jat) and erstwhile out-caste(Dalit, scheduled castes) in both autosomal and mtDNA analysis. 3. Ambivalent attitude in giving clear caste position in caste hierarchy to the non-Brahmin castes. 4.Does not find varying degrees of closeness to Europeans/Asians according to their caste position(Bamshad et al. 2001 mentioned that upper castes closest to Europeans, middle castes in between and lower castes closest to East Asians). Unfortunately, the study just mentions that it can't support that position but does not give observed affinities. 5. mtDNA M forms 25% of Brahmin population, 40% of other two castes and 50% of Dalits. My observation: The study very strongly supports Aryan migration if not invasion(as the differentiation is very starc in mtDNA, as I believe invaders won't bring their female folk).
