Abstract
The present study has been carried out on 2802 samples for Y-chromosome analysis from 73 tribal communities belonging to six different linguistic groups (D—Dravidian, IE—Indo-European, AA—Austro-Asiatic, TB—Tibeto-Burman, A—Andaman and F—Tai Kadai) living in different geographic regions of India. The predominant Y chromosome haplogroups are O, F, H, R, C, K, L and P covering majority of population, followed by low frequencies of J, N, Q, D, and G (Fig. 6.1).
