U2c1, from the Indus Valley Civilization. Here is what 23andMe says about U2c:
Haplogroup U2 is an older branch of haplogroup U that traces back to a woman who likely lived in the Middle East about 43,000 years ago. Today, most of its branches (U2a, U2b, U2c) are concentrated in southern and southwestern Asia, with the exception of one – U2e, which is found in Europe and Central Asia.
In Southern Asia, the U2 haplogroup traces back to the original inhabitants of the Indus River valley, who arrived in the area not long after humans first expanded beyond Africa. The haplogroup reaches levels of 15% in locations from the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh to the island nation of Sri Lanka, off India's southeastern coast. U2c is highest along the eastern coast of India, with another concentration among the Sindhi of southern Pakistan.
