Haplogroup is found at a high frequency in Indian Subcontinent. It is
generally rare outside of the Indian subcontinent but is common among the Roma
people, particularly the H-M82 subgroup.

It
is a branch of
F Haplogroup,
and is believed to have arisen in India between 20,000 and 30,000 years ago. Its
probable site of introduction is India since it is concentrated there. It seems
to represent the main Y-haplogroup of the indigenous paleolithic inhabitants of
India, because it is the most frequent Y-haplogroup of tribal populations
(25-35%). On the other hand, its presence in upper castes is quite rare (ca.
10%) (Cordaux et al. 2004, Sengupta et al. 2006, Thanseem et al. 2006).
This Haplogroup is frequently found among populations of India
(approximately 27%), Sri Lanka (approx. 25%), Nepal (approx. 12% in Kathmandu
and 6% in Newars), and Pakistan (Haplogroup H1-M52 in 4.1% Burusho, 20.5% Kalash,
4.2% Pashtun, 2.5% other Pakistani)
