This Principal Component Analysis (PCA) shows us some of the 2 Hindu groups native to the far north (Kashmiri Pandits & Khatris) genetically cluster with Late Bronze/Iron Age Ancient Swat & Chitral Vedic Samples from 1200-800 BCE
3000+ years of proven genetic continuity in India

What does this mean exactly? It means the purple dots in the map are Ancient Gandhari Vedic People from 800-1200 BCE
Many people consider them the "Vedic Aryans"
Now, if modern Khatris & KPs are genetically similar to them, how do Aryans have "blonde hair, blue eyes" ?

Now, the green dot is a Pakistani Punjabi from Lahore [Muslim]. Do you see how far he clusters from the Ancient Samples? This should emphasize the continuity and genetic differences in India even in the same region due to varṇāśrama endogamy.
Many people say the Aryans were "blonde, hair blue eyed nordic" Andronovo culture people. But this claim is disproven by most recent genetic studies. This is the Fatyanovo-Balanovo Culture. It existed in *western Russia* and is indirect predecessor of Andronovo
Here is a an analysis of the Fatyanovo Phenotype
These Steppe Russians themselves were majority brown eyed, black/brown haired and intermediate mixed/dark skin tone people
How did nordic aryans come to India when their pre-decessors had brown eyes, black hair & darker skin?

The truth is that blonde hair, blue eyes, pale skin & lactose toelrance are features that were genetically selected for much later in Europe. These features come mostly from the native hunter gatherer populations of europe like (Scandinavian_HG & Eastern_HG).
