Brahmins of India are believed to origin from Aryans
68% R1a1, 21% J2, 16% H1, 3.6% G2a
H1 are local people... they probably represent leading cast before Aryan arrival..
Cluster of Indus Valley Civilization site along the course of the Indus River in Pakistan is supposed to represent settlements of Aryans
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Aryan_migration
distribution of haplogroup J2 matches this pretty well...
core of Aryan civilization might have been J2 haplogroup
we can also sea that G haplogroup also follows this spread imediatelly east to the J2 but it migrated north at some point in time... I think that have happened probably before Aryan invasion of India...the carriers of G haplogroup who stayed were likely assimilated into Aryan society... and were in that society making similar ratio to J2 as the one that we witness in nowadays population of Brahmins from India (1 G 2 carrier on every 4.4 J2 carriers)
R1a is also present in place of Aryan civilization, but this might have been later spread, since it does not match the spread of archaeological sites.. although R1a is all over the place, so it can have got there both with Aryans and later...
spread of R1a is related to later invasions of area by Scythians... in fact, spread of R1a matches pretty well settlement area of Indo-Scythians
of course as last long lasting wave of invaders, Indo-Scythians might have heavily influenced genetic structure of Brahmins...
