As is correctly pointed out here, "For this to even be valid you would need MASSIVE sample sizes from diverse communities, and census data based on caste proportion down to subcaste. I personally have never been a fan of the South Indian component coz it's so vague - lumps up AASI and ancient West and East Eurasian components."

Nearly all of the Indian subcontinent's ethnic and linguistic groups are the product of three ancient Eurasian populations who met and mixed (https://archive.is/BKe8r#selection-1351.136-1351.467): local hunter-gatherers, Middle Eastern farmers, and Central Asian herders. Mix of ancient ancestries is surprisingly similar to Europe's (https://archive.is/BKe8r#selection-1149.0-1149.100). Three similar groups also mingled in ancient Europe, giving the two subcontinents surprisingly parallel histories.
According to the Genomelink report, the shared ancestry between Indians/South Asians and Europeans often results in Europeans registering "South Asian" ancestry and the inverse.

Steppe pastoralists
Steppe pastoralists were one of the agro-pastoralist people who developed a new way of life on the western Eurasian steppe 5,000 years ago, setting a precedent that would reverberate down through history.
Five thousand years ago on the edge of Eastern Europe, as the forest gave way to grassland on the south and east, a diverse array of related societies engaged on the Eurasian steppe. Descended from both ancient hunter-gatherer societies which flourished in Northeast Europe, and agriculturalists who moved up from the south in West Asia, these people pioneered a pastoralist form of life in the north.
Eventually, the pastoralists pushed west and ended the thousands of years of farmer domination, clearing the remaining forests for their pastures. The descendants of the steppe people were the ancestors of the various European societies which we know from ancient history, Celts, Germans, and Slavs in the north, Italians, Iberians, and Greeks in the south. The Indo-European language of the steppe now dominates all of Europe, and the gods of ancient myth, Zeus, Thor, and Jupiter, were their gods.
Physical Characteristics
Exploited the newly invented wheel and newly domesticated horse abandoning their villages and turning into a mobile culture that could better exploit the resources of the steppe. Wagons became very important to their culture and are found in their burials. The words for axle, harness, pole, and wheel are common across all Indo-European languages, indicating that these technical terms arose in the original population before it expanded.
The horse allowed them to travel with large herds of livestock (cattle and sheep), which they grazed on the steppe.
Focusing on animal husbandry rather than cereal cultivation, Steppe pastoralists were taller and more robust people than the early European farmers. The ability to digest milk sugar, lactose, seems to come from them, as their patriarchal societies were focused around cattle.
Due to the success of the new lifestyle, Steppe pastoralists expanded in all directions. In Europe, their expansion was associated with burial mounds or Kurgans, and the retreat of the old farming cultures. Their interactions with the native European peoples gave rise to successor cultures, such as the Battle Axe people, or the Bell Beaker societies. In Northern Europe, the descendants of Steppe pastoralists were more successful than the farmers had been in those frigid latitudes, as they absorbed the last of the hunter-gatherers.
The gods of myth, and the barbarian tribes of antiquity, are all ultimately the scions of the Yamnaya.
Out of the vast Eurasian steppe, Steppe pastoralists and their descendants pushed westward, searching for greener pastures. From the Urals to the Atlantic, Steppe pastoralists and their scions transformed the human geography of Europe.
- First emerged on the Russian steppe through the admixture with eastern European hunters and gatherers.
- Then, entered Europe around 4900-4300 years ago.
- Largely replaced the farmers of Europe, 90% in Britain and 30% in Iberia.

South Asian
South Asians emerge from the mixing of the people of western and southeast Eurasia 5,000 years ago. While their paternal ancestors are often more related to peoples to the west, their maternal ancestors are more like peoples to the east. The diversity of South Asians, 25% of humanity, is the outcome of recent mixing, and prefigures our modern world.
South Asians exhibit massive physical, culture, and linguistic diversity. From the Indo-Aryan peoples of the north and west, some of whom are light-skinned and light-eyed, to the Dravidian peoples of the south, small and dark-skinned. All emerge out of the same process and mixture.
These connections mean that South Asian ancestry and heritage is found far outside of modern South Asia. From closely related to Iranians, to Roma groups in Europe which descend from South Asian nomads.
Going back thousands of years many of the ancestors of South Asians and Europeans are shared, speaking Indo-European languages, and expanding out of the steppe. This shared ancestry often results in Europeans registering “South Asian” ancestry and the inverse
