Are Bengalis(from Bangladesh specifically)South Indians with some SouthEast Asian admixture overall?

[Borealis]

Why is that? Uttar Pradesh is a North Indian Hindi/Indo-Aryan majority state, why would it be more ASI than South India where people are often as dark as blacks?

Because ASI climbs the further east and south one goes.

I don’t think UPites have more AASI than South Indian groups maybe just less IranN.

Depends on the groups from each respective region in question.

They are closest to the original Aboriginal North Indians and African tribals who migrated into India before IVC.

They were only Aryanized or Hinduisd in modern times by Brahmin migrants from North mostly Kashmir as noted by many historians that they mostly followed animistic religion and had no caste system.

This was the main reason they easily converted to Islam because Brahmin migrants considered them low caste people.

Very interesting, thanks for your input. From what I understand, majority of south asian muslims come from low caste background ?

Yep. All over Indian subcontinent most of people who followed religion other than Hindism, Jainism are mostly converts from low caste.

Buddhism = started by proud kshatriya prince who claimed that all other Buddha's will take birth in only pure brahmin or kshatriya families, as he was kshatriya next Buddha will take birth in brahmin family. He even claimed that on Earth brahmins and kshatriya are superior to others.

Most of followers were Sudras and untouchable as kshatriya and brahmin were secure in Vedic faith and had little interest in leaving religion of their forefathers.

Jainism = Mostly Vaishya rich people and some kshatriyas, over all very high class religion, closest to upper caste Hindus.

Hindism = minority founders brahmins+Kshatriya+Vaishya forms something like 10/15% while rest are gypsy, Dalit, tribal and sudra people who got Aryanized by migrating brahmins.

Kshatriya conquered new lands, viaishyas moved in for business, Kings invited brahmins to turn conquered lands into Arya-desa/country.

Islam = mostly gypsy(jat/Gujjar), Ahir, Dalits, Sudra, untouchables with 0.5% of Non Indian migrants and upper caste convert mix(minority Vaishya, Rajput, rarely a brahmin).

These people adopted either Rajput or Brahmin surnames beside ME ones to hide their low caste origin.

My family are from Bangladesh. Though we originally settled in Bengal in the 1800s.

We don't look typically Bangladeshi or even Sylheti, but I've seen quite a few Sylhetis that are as fair as any Kashmiri.
I think we're more diverse than a lot of people here make out. There was a lot of migration within South Asia, under the Mughals and the British.

South Indians with some excess ASI.

Who the hell liked this literal bs lmao it's literally not even correct scientifically.

Bangladeshis have lower South Asian HG/AASI not excess and higher Steppe Aryan than South Indians genetically. Bangladeshis get like 10-15% Steppe usually while South Indians get none usually. This is even though Banglas are only around 85% South Asian which means before mixing with the 15% Tibeto-Burman group, Banglas had higher Steppe than the 10-15% that we normally get. So Banglas pre-mixing would have 12-17% Steppe compared to 10-15% now meaning the base population was also different from South Indians, with significant Steppe and lower AASI.

Banglas definitely score lower AASI and higher Steppe than South Indians, not excess AASI.

Thanks. For Steppe, you gotta generally use Sintashta or Srubnaya. I think there's some other stuff missing because Telugus don't get 12% Steppe, it's something to do with ancient Ancestral North Eurasian stuff which they have a lot of along with Tamils from their very high Indus Valley ancestry so it's being misattributed to Yamnaya or something when it should be going to "Farmer" or Indus Valley farmer. AASI values for Banglas are I think 34-41% generally, it might be higher here due to the Asian proxies but with more expansive modelling, the Asian is 15%. G25 has issues with AASI and Asian, it's been a thing for a while, the Onge/Asian matrix seems flawed. You can run different South Asian groups with Onge-Steppe-IVC and they'll get values that are concordant with studies but for Bangladeshis and groups with Asian, it becomes wonky because the Onge on g25 absorbs Asian. Range for Banglas seem to be 35-40% and for the Southern Indians it's like 45-50% AASI

Here's some values using the Mehrgarh calc and they're a bit more accurate as they have better AASI samples, Asian samples and account for the extra Tutkaulian/ANE from IVC
