The question I have is this, how can you indianize an Indian people. Of the mummies found at Xiaohe dating from 2000BC, most were yDNA Hg R1a and the last K*. This combination in a population is interesting; R1a could be argued to be from the steppes on its own but 1/2

Zebu presence in Central Asia and Turkestan started 3000 to 2500 years B.C. It also confirms the view once expressed by Frederiks who believed that zebu had appeared in Turkestan before they came to Mesopotamia or at least they spread into the two regions at the same time.
