I have come across something interesting.
Indo-Iranians are ethnically closer to Balto-Slavic people than West and North Europeans. Despite that most Indian ancestry tests are throwing upto 10% Irish-Welsh and Scandinavian ancestry.
North Western and Northern Indians, Pakistanis and Afghans have 3 ancestry components majorly; SA-WA-CA with minor West European ancestry but surprisingly nill to extremely rare eastern European or Greek ancestry.
Some Persian ancestry tests are also coming up with up to 10% SA ancestry but nill on eastern European ancestry.
Most Indians from the regions I have mentioned most probably got it from Indianized Scythians Hunas Parathians Kushanas etc between 2200 to 1600 years ago. Due to endogamy this ancestry is preserved till date.
I will keep looking for other interesting findings.
