Paper Details

It is very intriguing to learn about the contours of Indian civilizational identity the way they are. What has molded society’s cultural traits, linguistic proficiency, behavioural patterns, evolutionary history of populations, emigration history, and comprehensive appearance is something so absorbing. Thus, it can equip us with a valor of intricate nuances and understanding. On the other hand, if we see other way around, by using the scientific tools of modern science like genetics, we can decipher civilization in its specific nuances. Therefore, population genetics, Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA analysis, genome-wide studies, Admixture Analysis, Comparative Genomics, Ancient DNA, Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), Genome-wide Association studies (GWAS)—these techniques can contribute to tracing civilizational identity. The tools of modern science are availing us of the opportunity to decipher civilizational history of India, thus eventually unleashing the pathways that speak about those contours of society that have carved the civilization into its niche. These genetic tools are subtly about perspectives, ideologies, the development of societies, and the development of law and give us the opportunity to draw consensus on each of them to pin point the modern-day contours of civilizational identity. This research aims to evaluate the new-age techniques of genetics to scrutinise and unfold the civilizational history of India as well as their origin from Vedas. Along with that research also aims to study origin of genetics from Vedas, its importance and futuristic perspective of our age old literature.
