What Indian Genes have to say about Caste?

What is the genetic origin of the Indian Caste System? The bizarre answer to this 2,000-year-old history lies in a modern medical mystery: why are children in a Kashmiri village born deaf, and why do patients in certain Andhra hospitals resist anesthesia? Welcome back to Chronoclarity! For centuries, the origins of the caste system and the population genetics of the Indian subcontinent have been debated. But what happens when we look at our DNA? In this video, we decode Indian genetics, exploring how strict endogamy (marrying within one's caste) locked our gene pools and created distinct genetic groups out of a massively mixed ancient population. This is a must-watch for anyone studying Indian history, sociology, or preparing for UPSC General Studies!
