Kodava DNA
Kodavas of Coorg: Bold, beautiful and brainy
Though they are Hindus, the language, customs, and traditions of Kodavas are distinct. That its men are brave and the women beautiful is an oft-remarked blanket statement about Coorg. The British called it the Scotland of India when they fell in love with this cool nook in the Western Ghats and its warm people.
The Kodavas or Coorgis are an ethnic minority. But unlike other minority communities, the Kodavas are largely privileged. In fact, a pleasant colonial hangover stays with the people who enjoy a good life with evening drinks, golf, and hockey.
Although a Hindu community on paper, their language, customs, and traditions are distinct. “Easily one of the most martial cultures in the country, these are a people who ritually worship their guns and swords. Interestingly, till a few decades ago, the birth of a male child was marked with a gun shot, announcing to the world the arrival of a warrior,” writes Pattamada Sundar Muthanna in a coffee table book on Coorg tourism, brought out by journalist PT Bopanna.
Thanks to the outstanding contributions of this community to the country’s defence sector, Coorg is also called the Land of Generals. Field Marshal Kodandera ‘Kipper’ Madappa Cariappa, the first Indian Chief of Army Staff of the Indian Army, was a Kodava. General KS Thimmayya was another brave soldier, who led the army during crucial conflicts with China and brought laurels to his homeland in the hills.

Ancient cult of Kammammu
H3 in Catalhoyuk at 6690 BCE
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982221004231 sequenced some of the Catalhoyuk samples from the data n = 9 such co-buried individuals associated with Buildings 17, 50, and 114. Some of these H3 subclades are matching the Kamma caste groups people. The Information on Catalhoyuk findings in Anatolia is shown below.
Sk.1885 (burial feature 84, Level South M, Middle period, Building 50): the primary flexed burial of a male child. He was 7 years ± 2yrs at death, excavated in 1995. This individual was interred directly above Sk.2033 (see below) in the southwest corner of B.50. Radiocarbon dating places this individual between 6905–6885 cal BCE (1%) or 6825–6635 cal BCE (92%) or 6625–6600 cal BCE (2%) (Table Z2).
Sk.2033 (burial feature 84, Level South M, Middle period, Building 50): the primary flexed burial of a male child 3 years ± 1yr at death, excavated in 1995. This individual was interred directly below Sk.1885 (see previous) in the southwest corner of B.50. Radiocarbon dating places this individual between 6690-6590 cal BCE (95%) (Table Z2).
Sk.2779.1 (burial feature 265, Level South M, Middle period, Building 50): the primary burial of a male neonate (0-2 months at death based on measurements of the basi-occipital bone), excavated in 1997. The burial was heavily disturbed by Mellaart’s earlier excavations in this building during the 1960s.
Sk.2842 (burial feature 274, Level South M, Middle period, Building 50): a disturbed primary burial of a female infant aged 18 months (±6 months) at death based on dental development. It was excavated in 1998 from Building 50, located in the South Area of the site. The body was placed in a small pit near the center of the main room and was partially disturbed by a later burial. Radiocarbon dating of the petrous bone places this individual between 6690-6505 cal BCE (95%) (Table Z2).

The other Haplogroups in the same burial were G2a2a1 and C1a2
The H3 haplogroup subclades from Catalhoyuk 7th millenium BC are matching the recent Kamma group in South India.
It is also pertinent to note that multiple H3 sub-clades under H-Z586- are present among Kamma caste. The parts of Telugu shows close similarity to some parts of Hittite. Some of the Hittite phrases look as it is in the Telugu language used by Kammas. The name Kamma itself probably derived from the ancient goddess Kummanu cult and from previous palaic Kammama cult and continued as Elamite Kamul and Luwian Kamrusepa. The Bronze Age Kamboj group probably adopted from this early Anatolian farmer group god/goddess when it spread into Urals and further.
The Elamite areas also contain some of these Kammamma cult
There are four complete or almost complete unprovenanced bricks and twenty-one brick fragments from the site of Toll-e Bard-e Karegar in Khuzestan belonging to the only Elamite inscription mentioning the god Kamul. All of them represent exemplars of the one and the same text (ShuN I 9), written in the name of the Elamite king Shutruk-Nahhunte I (ca. 1190–1155 BCE). The text describes a temple that the king had rebuilt and dedicated to the god Kamul. In this article, a new reading and translation of the last sentence of the text that is divided into four sections and compared with parallels in Old and Middle-Elamite texts, is suggested. In addition, the brick fragments TBK 16 and 28 are reread and classified and TBK 89, 114, 122, and 127 are published.

Language features between Telugu and Hittite matching
nu URU Ḫattuši arḫa uu̯anun ‘I came back to Ḫattuša’ (Annaals KBo V 8 IV 2)
I was probably not only one, because Puhvel goes even further and translates ‘came home to Ḫattuša’:
Hittite -> Nu URu Hattusi arha uuanun
Telugu -> Na URu Hattus ki tirigu vachanun

Eneolithic and Bronze age
Lord Rama and the EBA/Eneolithic era
The Steppe mating network of Eneolithic era had important R1a-M198* and R1a-M417*-Z280 and R1b-pre-V1636-rich and R1b-(pre-)M269 moving into Southern city states such as Arslantepe and Meggido etc... starting the Bronze Age elite dominance in many cultures like in Hurrian/Mittani, Kunbi/Iskhvaku etc..
However thriving Indian Neolithic regions in the Upper and lower Gangetic valley and in the Deccan and in the Mahanadi region caused people to start moving out of IVC once the climate becoming dry
The native people who formed trade networks with the mesopotamia through Elam and harboured elite LC/EBA warriors can be described using the analogy of Mohenjo-daro seal of Pashupati (meaning Lord Shiva with all the animals in his famous yogic pose) with the celtic Bronze age seals which depict different set of animals but in the same hunter gatherer mode. This kind of seal probably indicates the infleunce of early Caucausian Steppe on the local Hunter Gatherer population who lived by trading in Water buffalos, wild cereals, monkeys, fruits etc.. with the outside groups. The Mesopotamian seals show Indian influence by depicting carnelian beads, monkeys, long buffalos etc.. which are probably items exported via Susa/Elam/Meluha port. Some of the early Celtic and Slavic motifs are also present in the seals and religious objects probably indicating that the Caucasian Steppe groups are related to each other during this LC/EBA time.
Lord Krishna and the Late Bronze Age
Lord Krishna and the Yadu race settled in Dwaraka after the war indicates that some of the Indus valley trade was still active during the Middle and Late Bronze age. The ruins of Dwaraka are now under the sea due to a comet impact in nearby sea later.
