from the paper :
Y-DNA haplogroups
Haplotypes of Lahore Christians (n = 250) based on 17 –YSTRs using Whit–Athey’s algorithm were assigned to 7 haplogroups (L, Q, R, E1b1b, G2a, J2a1b, J2a1 x J2a1-bh). Other haplogroups like I1, G2c, I2a1, J2a1h I2b1, N and T were not observed in our samples. Whereas, L(40%), RIa(38%), E1b1b(25%), Q(23%) were found the most common haplogroups and accounted for most of its Y-lineage from south Asians. Our results also corroborated with the past reportings of the most frequent haplotypes from South Asia45.
The outcomes of phylogenetic analysis presented that Lahore Christians are most closely related to Indians particularly Tamil and might share common ancestors. Moreover, there are clear genetic variations between Christians and rest of the populations. It also supports historical records that, following the geographical migration from India to Pakistan, this population got eventually recognized as Christians46.

interesting for me to see that according to 17 y-str markers prediction used
a frequency of 25% of e1b1b1 occure in those 250 males pretty amazing
haplogroups in minority groups are always fascinating
