This website describes research about the genetic history of the
Indian subcontinent based on current DNA science. By using y-STR haplogroups
and the phylogentic tree of mankind, the ancient geographical origins of various ethnic
groups were estimated going back 10,000 to 35,000 years ago. The resulting
publications are the books Before India: Exploring Your Ancestry with DNA and Ancestral Roots of the Jats:
DNA Revelations. The books were followed by peer-reviewed original
research articles
that appeared in the journals Frontiers in Genetics and
Molecular Genetics and Genomics. David Mahal DGM Associates

Mirroring a multifaceted subject matter, the book Before India is a
fascinating, well-researched amalgamation of genres—part
genealogical guide, part ethnic history, part science
expose—that draws a more holistic picture of ancestry by
combining these varied insights. And while this easy-to-read
text is a perfect launching point for people whose ancestry ties
them to the Indian subcontinent, any reader will benefit from
suggestions on how to trace your lineage to an ancestral group
going back thousands of years.
The Jats represent an ethnic community
that has inhabited the northwest region of the Indian subcontinent (both in India and Pakistan) for several thousand years.
This book is about the ancient origins of these people long before history books were written.
