both found the ancestral homeland of romani in india, northwest india, the punjab and kashmir (pakistan/india)
only one study so far (reguiro) proposed proto-romani to be southindians in origin because of ydna haplotypes but contradicts all autosomal and mtdna studies.
the genome wide study used kashmiri pandit and meghawal populations as proxy and estimated romani to be 47% of the ancestral population with near eastern, caucasus, central asian and european admixture, which occured 0.8kya ago, roma founded 1.5kya ago.
Footprints of bottlenecks, endogamy, and admixture in the European Romani genomes
Roma cluster with westeuroasians.
Accept the one outlier study which says roma are descendt of southindians because of similar y haplotype we have now alot of studies to make a better picture of roma origins, and it is likely northwest india and a ancestral group like meghawal or kashmiri pandit, meghawal are a sheduled caste in northwest indian in the hindu caste system (untouchables) but are autosomally similar to brahmins rajputs and other northwest indians. kashmiri pandits are kashmiri brahmins
