The other funny aspect of Y-DNA analysis is that the gotra system is entirely bogus
For example, the modal Y-DNA for brahmins and most upper castes is R1A
Meaning a single male is the direct ancestor of most brahmins
This sort of negates the gotra system wherein it is assumed that a dozen male brahmins started the gotras
The other funny aspect is that a sizeable minority of upper castes are male-descended from H1 ( north Indian OBC ) and L1 ( South Indian OBC )
meaning they got cuckolded to some degree
