Aryans or Dravidians - which ancient group first made India its home? Coinciding with a reignited political debate, and amid unclear scientific answers, the Union government is planning a mega DNA study to "trace the purity of races" in India, according to a report in the New Indian Express.
Quoting government sources, the article said that the Ministry of Culture is acquiring an array of DNA profiling kits and associated state-of-the-art machines for the study. A budget of ₹10 crore has been set aside. The decision was reportedly taken after a meeting between Ministry of Culture Secretary Govind Mohan, archaeologist Professor Vasant Shinde, and other senior scientists and scholars of the Birbal Sahani Institute of Paleosciences.
The news report quoted Prof Shinde as saying that the objective of the study was to "trace the purity of races in India". He said that scientists wanted to see how "mutation and mixing of genes in the Indian population has happened in the last 10,000 years".

Another aim is to "establish the Indian role in the dispersal of humans out of Africa" thousands of years ago, according to the Kolkata-based Anthropological Survey of India, or ANSI, which is also part of the study. ANSI said that modern humans "could have taken the &lsquo;southern route of dispersal&rsquo;, utilising the coastlines to travel from Africa, through Arabia, across the Indian subcontinent and then into South-East Asia and finally into Australia".
The ANSI also wants to "understand the genetic diversity of Indian populations among various ethnic groups in different regions of India". The ANSI had earlier expressed worry that the issue was "politically loaded", but eventually became part of the study, as per the New Indian Express report.

Amid reports that the Narendra Modi government had ordered excavation at the Qutub Minar complex in Delhi, Union culture minister issued a clarification. G. Kishan Reddy told reporters that the government had taken no such decision, and the Archaeological Survey of India, or ASI has been given no such task.
Earlier, some news reports had suggested that the Ministry of Culture had ordered excavation and iconographic survey at the 12th-century monument. The reports emerged amid claims that some idols of Hindu gods had been found at the minaret.
There is also a growing chorus that the monument was built by Raja Vikramaditya, a Hindu emperor. Some right-wing groups have demanded that the Qutub Minar be renamed Vishnu Stambh.
G. Kishan Reddy said, "A lot of things are reported in media. But Culture department's Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has not taken any decision. We haven't received any directions from courts. There is no question of such us having such a discussion."

TN CM to PM Modi: Composition of culture study committee concerning

Chief Minister K Palaniswami on Wednesday urged the Centre to reconstitute an expert committee under the Culture Ministry to study the origin and evolution of Indian culture during the past 12 millennia by including scholars from Tamil Nadu. In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the CM said the composition of the 16-member committee to conduct holistic study of Indian culture was a matter of &lsquo;deep concern&rsquo; as it has no representative from any of the Southern States, especially from Tamil Nadu, &lsquo;which has a glorious past and is home to one of the oldest civilisations&rsquo;.
