Investigating the demographic history of Sindhi population inhabited in West Coast India
Our new findings suggest that Indian Sindhi settlement from the Thane in Maharashtra in West coast of India derive their genetic ancestry not directly from Pakistani Sindhis but from other groups related to Burusho in Pakistan. The study therefore encourages further research to identify the heterogeneous nature of migrations to the Indian subcontinent and thus further decipher its unique demographics.
