The authors sampled 197 total people of NW India from the Jat Sikh, Bania, Khatri, Brahmin & SC castes. One of the main findings is below.

North-West Indian population groups had a total of 55.86% of samples characterised as belonging to South Asian ancestry haplogroups (M, U2, U4), followed by West Eurasian (40.18%, H, HV, I, J, K, N, R, R0, T, U1a, U5a, U7, U8a, W, X) and East Asian (3.96%, A, B, C, D, F, G ) (Fig. 1).

The below analysis is mine, after studying the raw data in the paper.

East, West & Basal Eurasian components in select ancient samples from the paleolithic and neolithic

I am working on some qpGraphs to figure out the different Iran farmer like ancestries in Ganj Dareh, CHG, TepeAbdulHosein, Hotu cave, Wezmeh cave, SC Asia (Sarazm) and India etc. Its taking longer than I expected because of many populations adding complexity. 

So I thought i would use the graphs already made to shed some light on some Eurasian samples. When I publish qpGraphs please keep some things in mind while analyzing.
