I guess you can keep resorting to ad hominem or you can admit this is not settled and India is a genetically diverse place.

If you pick a different haplogroup such as O-M122, which is believed to have originated in China, you’ll see that is highly present in northern India showing that that border is porous, Himalayas or not.

This is as far from "not settled" as it's possible to be.

Have a look at some ADMIXTURE results from HGDP data: https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article/figure/image?... . (I pulled it from https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/jo... )

Notice how the modal component in Indian groups is the "Europe" component. Notice how the East Asian groups share almost nothing with the European groups.

And the next time you want to have an argument in public, please try to make sure you know at least a little bit about the topic. Come on.

OK it seems that I am wrong and I concede the point.

Thank you for posting links to supporting evidence.
