No, there is no mention of chattisgarh area tribes or the Kols and Bhils in MP/Guj. I would think Oppenheimer would class them as recent immigrants from the East and not as relict populations.
The populations in India and SriLanka considered as beachcomber relicts (proto-australoid) are te Korava, Yanadi, Irula, Gadaba, Chenchu, and Vedda. Also mentioned are the Makrani Negroid group at the mouth of the Indus (with recent african slave-trade admixture) and the Negroid Kadar and Paniyan (recent African admixture is less likely??). Also the Jarawa and Onge andthe greater Andamanese are a relict population. (p 159)
The Semang are a relict population in Malay peninsula. (p 159) And the Nicobarese are a relict population who emigrated from the Malay area 18,000 years ago (from memory)
The great winter was not only for India but also for Northern Asia, where an Ice Age was precipitated.
Obviously, it was not a complete extinction as we have the genetic evidence of the surviving proto-autraloids amongst us. We are the descendants of these surviving groups. and rest of asia ( except SE and East Asia ) are descendants from us.
Oppenheimer's resolution goes down to 10,000 BC as the last indian settlers trekking north and west.
There was one vanguard group into India and multiple waves out of India.
I am waiting for some indologist or IE studies joker to come here and debate me.
