I don't mean to start a argument over Rajputs but I know before you have posted the HarrapaDNA results for Rajasthanis however that was only carried out on one individual. A 2006 study into Rajasthani Rajputs found these results. Don't start an argument please as I am only posting here. The HarrapaDNA results most likely belonged to a fake Rajput as a few people in Rajasthan are fake Rajputs. They are easily told apart from real Rajputs since they don't belong to any clan. I have great respect for Jatts like you and don't wish for an argument.
Also here is an Anthropological discussion on Rajputs here that backs up my point.
The Hindu Rajputs - the Warrior or Kshatriya tribes of Northern India - Anthrocivitas
The 2006 study by Sanghamitra Sengupta has some Y-DNA data on the Rajputs. However, we should consider that many people in Rajasthan claim to be so called Rajputs, even instrument players, camel herdsman and nomads at that! These geneticists can't really authenticate which individuals are real Rajputs and which ones are fake Rajputs, thus the data must misrepresent the over all Rajput Y-DNA demographics. Also, the Rajputs are an elite who aren't easily discernible to the average person or tourist in Rajasthan as they are not seen as average folks on the street, etc. Regardless, Sengupta's data mainly shows an R1-R2-J2 assortment, which is rather typical for upper caste/dvija Hindus in general.
