There's a female sample (I13226) from the Loebanr site in the Swat Valley(modern-day Pakistan), associated with the Gandhara Grave culture, dated to 961 B.C.E.(Later Vedic age). She was predicted to have blue eyes, blonde hair, pale skin, and carried mtDNA K1a.Genetically, she

was closest to modern-day North-Western Indo-Aryan groups like Arain, Kohistani,Khatri,Pahari Gujjars,etc.

Not just highest in India. Punjabis especially 🇵🇰 Punjabi tribes like Gujjars, Arains, Potohari Rajputs etc have the highest Zagrosian Neolithic ancestry after Balochs and Bandaris. Sindhis and some Iranian groups have similar levels to Punjabis.

Despite hailing from Himachal Pradesh and having significant East Asian ancestry, the Himachal Gujjar closely aligns with Gujjars from Punjab, Kashmir, Swat, and Rajasthan
