Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Genetics can be a powerful tool in answering many longstanding questions pertaining to migrations, endogamous groups,etc. Before this can be achieved, genetics must be tested in a simple case, where there is a reasonable certainty of what happened. I suggest that ( with necessary permissions ) a genetic study be made of Parsees who are known to be a self-contained endogamous group of 1500 year standing. (Next to be studied could be Kashmiri Pandits, Namboodiris of Kerala and Ayangars of Tamilnadu.) If the conclusions drawn from such a study are consistent with what is otherwise known, genetic studies can be confidently extended into areas where these will provide new and unexpected insights.
