The paternal lineage of the Roma People

The reduced diversity and expansion of H1a-M82 lineages in all Roma groups imply shared descent from a single paternal ancestor in the Indian subcontinent. The Roma paternal gene pool also contains a specific subset of E1b1b1a-M78 and J2a2-M67 lineages, implying admixture during early settlement in the Balkans and the subsequent influx into the Carpathian Basin. Additional admixture, evident in the low and moderate frequencies of typical European haplogroups I1-M253, I2a-P37.2, I2b-M223, R1b1-P25, and R1a1-M198, has occurred in a more population-specific manner.


there's few east euroasian halpogroups like C3,O and N among Roma people. interesting!

Mongolian famous Sumo wrestler Asashōryū(Dagvadorj)

Asashōryū Akinori (朝青龍 明徳?, born September 27, 1980, as Dolgorsürengiin Dagvadorj, Mongolian: Долгорсүрэнгийн Дагвадорж) is a former sumo wrestler (rikishi) from Ulan Bator, Mongolia. He was the 68th yokozuna in the history of the sport in Japan and became the first Mongolian to reach sumo's highest rank in January 2003. He was one of the most successful yokozuna ever.[2] In 2005 he became the first man to win all six official tournaments (honbasho) in a single year. Over his entire career, he won 25 top division tournament championships, placing him third on the all-time list.
From 2004 until 2007, Asashōryū was sumo's sole yokozuna, and was criticised at times by the media and the Japan Sumo Association for not upholding the standards of behaviour expected of a holder of such a prestigious rank.[3] He became the first yokozuna in history to be suspended from competition in August 2007 when he participated in a charity soccer match in his home country despite having withdrawn from a regional sumo tour claiming injury.[4] After a career filled with a multitude of other controversies, both on and off the dohyō, he retired from sumo in February 2010 after allegations that he assaulted a man outside a Tokyo nightclub.[5]

Buryatian Artist Dashi namdakov

Dashi Namdakov is a Buryat artist. Primarily a sculptor, he is also a skilled graphic artist, and has worked as production designer for the Genghis Khan movie Mongol. (See his homepage, Dashi-Art, for numerous examples of his powerful and undulating mythological figures.)

"My Grandpa was a very gifted story-teller. He knew a lot of legends and stories about Buryats. And I remember them with my bones, inwardly. This feeling is very strong and more on subconscious level. I would like to understand Buryat and Buddhist tradition rationally, yet, I believe, something within me knows it better than I do. My teacher at the Art School was Lev Golovnitsky, a very fine and good Russian sculptor. And he helped me to appreciate and understand the art of sculpture and world tradition. And I am a student of Michelangelo and Bourdelle, Bruegel and Old Japanese art. And I am also myself." (artsiberia.org)



Geshe Wangyal, Kalmykian Lama


Geshe Wangyal was born in 1901, among the Kalmyk Mongols , in what is today the Kalmyk republic in Russian Federation. He became a monk at a very young age of six and as a young man, he went to study in Lhasa, Tibet, just after the Bolshevik revolution was started.

He studied at the Gomang College of Drepung Monastic University in Lhasa until 1935 when he decided to return to Klmykia to arrange some financial matters. On his way in Pekin, he was told of the seriousness of situation in Russia under the communism. Therefore he gave up his plan to go back to Klamykia, and instead found a job in Pekin. He worked on a Kanjur and Tanjur project, and was getting well-paid. After earning enough money which could support him until he receives his geshe degree, in 1937, he left Pekin to return to Tibet via India. While in Calcutta (Kolkata today), Sir Charles Bell, a well known British statesman, scholar, and explorer. Geshe Wangyal was hired as a translator to Sir Charles Bell, and accompanied him on a trip through China and Manchuria before returning to Tibet. He then received his geshe degree in Lhasa.

His relations with the British, such as working with Sir Charles Bell, made him suspectious to the Tibetan government. Therefore he could not stay in the monastery any longer. In the following several years, he constantly travelled between Lhasa, Tibet and Kalimpong, India to do business, in order to raise funds to help other monks to receive their geshe degrees. Many Mongolian monks who were cut off from their native land due to the communist revolution, received his assistance. When the Chinese were start advancing Tibet in the early 1950s, he escaped to India. Then in 1955, he went to the United States to work as a priest among the Kalmyk Mongols who were newly resettled in New Jersey, New York and Panselvania as refugees from the Soviet Union. In the United States, he established a monastery, Labsum Shedrub Ling, among the Kalmyks. He served as the monastery's head teacher until his death in January, 1983. He received many students of Western bakcground and taught them Buddhism, and made great contribution to the spread of Buddhism in America. Among his students is the well known religious studies professor and Buddhist activist Robert A. F. Thurman . Geshe Wangyal had also been offering great financial support to the Tibetan monasteries in India and sponsoring Tibetan monks' stays at his monastery.

In October, 1982 Geshe Wangyal transferred ownership of the Labsum Shedrub Ling monastery building in New Brunswick, New Jersey, which was supposed to be his lifetime work, to the Tibet Fund, as an offering to His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet.

Geshe Wangyal passed away on January 30, 1983 at the age of eighty-one.
