The root brah seen in Brihaspati/Brahmanspati/Brahmin/Brahman is similar to that found in Old Norse, called Bragi/bragr, which is very closely (there are different theories) associated with Wodanaz, the fatherly formulator. The overlap is inspired divine speech formulation.
Replying to @appliedquant
ML West sees similarity in the words Arya-mā & Brah-mā as masc. deifications of an abstract entity. The former is based on the deity's character being a communal spirit deified; the latter is based on sacred speech/truth being deified, which is what Brahmā becomes later!
Worth remembering.
Anthropological studies of Harappan crania (mostly from Harappa, Mohenjo-daro, Rakhigarhi) show they were predominantly dolichocephalic, with indices often 65-75. Older analyses (Sarkar and others) noted close similarity in cephalic indices to modern long-headed groups in Sindh and Punjab. Hemphill et al. (1991) found urban-phase Harappans most closely resemble northwestern South Asian populations, with continuity into later Cemetery H and no sharp biological break. Some western affinities exist from gene flow, but overall the data indicate strong local continuity with populations of these regions.

IVC low_SAHG phenotype as per @Slavman1945 (looks reasonable tbh).

You do not have any shame @BCCI right? You curtailed his career & cost India many victories,& now you have the audacity to congratulate him on the unjust end of his test career? Buffoon selectors & officials selecting clown pacers while the deserving wait agape.

Very interesting question tbh.
I don't love to kang but would answer anyway. I would be happy if Steppe is <5% (only for the sake of genetic diversity), IVC is> 60%. Also, any y-haplo (except J1) which is derived from F-M89.
To the GeneticJeets here who love to kang on some spefic haplo and Ancestral component , think if you got tested and awaiting for results
Would you rather have -
35 Steppe with H1 haplogroup or 12 Steppe with R1a haplogroup?

Anyone who has seen the tribes like Paniya, Irula etc. can clearly see that these Hoabinhian Negritos, Onges (cousins of East Asians, Mundas) etc. have a different phenotype than the former ones. Taking Onge as pure SAHG (AASI is a meaningless term anyway) is entirely illogical.
Pure AASI person belonging to the Onge community of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Indo-Aryanised speaking in Hindi
Many Indigenous people of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands also speak Hindi

Brother @anuvrata7 constructed this as GHG Sarai Nagar Rai phenotype through AI.
Ancestral whisper "imagined" SNR man as a Subsaharan btw.

This was generated for SNR by AI when I gave the prompt for 70% Paniya and 30% Dzudzuana (for extra basal part).

A much realistic phenotype of Gangetic Hunter-gatherer Sarai Nahar Rai man, in my opinion.

Bengali aerospace engineer Rajib Dasgupta has been appointed Chief Engineer for NASA's International Space Station (ISS) Program. He completed his primary education in Bengal and earned a B.E. in Aerospace Engineering from IIEST Shibpur.
Also, some people have this agenda that all components of Indian ethnicity are actually coming from outside mainland India (Russia, Iran and SE Asia adjacent islands) and there exists nothing called the Indian ethnicity; which is a propaganda run by 'breaking India' forces.
