96 Kuli Maratha qpAdm + Hunter-Gatherer Results (Y-DNA: R1a-Z2123)
- Paternal Clan: Chaudhary (Jagtap)
- Maternal Clan: Hande Deshmukh
- Region: Umbraj, Junnar, Pune District, Maharashtra
- Y-DNA Haplogroup: R1a-Z2123
The qpAdm results are closely aligned with those of South Indian Brahmins (SIBs), including Deshastha Brahmins, CKPs, and Chardos (Kshatriya) from Goa. Both the Chaudhary (Jagtap) and Hande Deshmukh families are well-known 96 Kuli Maratha clans with historical roots in the Junnar region. I request more members of the 96 Kuli Maratha community to undergo DNA testing to help dispel the false narratives and misinformation spread by others. Based on the above results, it is evident that 96 Kuli Marathas and Kunbi Marathas are not the same communities.
