Ethnically Gujarati people are Caucasian and a 2004 Stanford study conducted with a wide sampling from India, found that over 33% of genetic markers in Gujarat were partially of West Eurasian origin, the second highest amongst the sampled group of South Asians with Punjabis at 42%, and Kashmiris at 30%.[22]
mtDNA Haplogroup U7 is found in Iran, the rest of the Near East,[22] the Caucasus,[23] Poland, Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan; with extremely low frequencies in neighboring countries Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Iraq. Its frequency peaks at over 12% in Gujarat, 9% in Iran, 9% in Punjab, 6% in Pakistan and 6% in Afghanistan. Elsewhere in India, its frequency is very low (0.00% to 0.90%).[22] Outside of the Near East, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Northwestern Indian states, Haplogroup U7 is non-existent. Expansion times and haplotype diversities for the Indian and Near and Middle Eastern U7 mtDNAs are strikingly similar.[22]
The possible homeland of this haplogroup likely spans the coverage of the Near East to Western India.[citation needed] From there its frequency declines steeply both to the east and to the west.[24]
Some preliminary conclusions from these varying tests support some of the highest degrees of Indian mtDNAs found in Western Asia, supporting a theory of trade contact and migrations out of Gujarat into West Asia.[22]
my caste/tribe is brahmin.
what is West Eurasian origin ?
so it means we gujaratis are related to punjabis and rajasthanis ?
