Intresting info!

If we are too look at this from a scientific perspective it is mainly via our Y-Chromosome by which we claim our Brahmin lineage.
Our community so as to speak is rather patriarchal, thus for us it is our y-dna that is of utmost importance and not our mt-DNA, which is arguablly of a local origin. We can safely say our existence is based on our Y-DNA.
It is general knowledge that the first wave of Brahmins took local females as their wives. Local females sought Brahmin males as their husbands, what we could call 'upwardly mobile'. However, it was never the other way around. Thus most Brahmins claim their 'Aryan' lineage from their paternal side and any intermixing with the locals is strictly maternal.

I did a search for something related and this is apparently the I&I 21 ydna composition.

If anyone can further explain what this exactly means that'd be great.

What I can make of it now, is that R1a and J2 Y-DNA are the strongest markers for I&I and Brahmins in general as far as paternal lineage goes.

Darn, something's wrong with my mouse, I'll post it here later..
