Looking through the regions, my mind has been pondering a few questions, if anybody has an idea about any, or just want to share their thoughts, please do:
- Why is there a separate region for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Pashtunkhwa?
- Andhra Pradesh is repeated three times over, Why the redundancy? - it is paired with KA, TG, and also is by itself.
- Why is Mumbai a region? - This one boggles mind because I had a perception that Mumbai has been a multiethnic city for several decades if not a century, How were they able to identify a unique genetic signature among Mumbaikars is beyond me.....
- West Bengal & ?North India? - I may be wrong and I am sure there is significant genetic affinity between West Bengal and North India, but if they already have a UP and Bihar region that also extends over North India, why is adding NI here necessary.
- Tamil Nadu encompasses all of South India? - I guess the descriptions for that region aren't out yet, so may be they are considering diaspora in other Southern States....
