Genetic affinity between diverse ethnoreligious communities of Tamil Nadu, India: a microsatellite study.

Human biology - 1 Dec 2008

Eaaswarkhanth M, Vasulu T S, Haque Ikramul

Abstract excerpt

Historically, a number of local Hindu caste groups have converted to Islam and formed religious endogamous groups. Therefore the local caste groups and religious communities in a region are expected to show genetic relatedness. In this study we investigate the genetic relationship between Tamil-speaking (Dravidian language) Muslims (Sunni), six endogamous Hindu castes, and a tribal ethnic group (Irulars) using 13...
