    This study of genetic distance used a series of alleles in multiple populations. Its contentions, especially its analysis showing Bengalis not being close to Sinhalese, differ from those of some other studies. Excerpts from the Abstract:

    "[...] Both analyses give a similar picture, indicating that present-day Sinhalese and Tamils of Sri Lanka are closer to Indian Tamils and South Indian Muslims. They are farthest from Veddahs and quite distant from Gujaratis and Punjabis of northwest India and Bengalis of northeast India. [...] The study of genetic admixture revealed that the Sinhalese of Sri Lanka have a higher contribution from the Tamils of southern India (69.86% +/- 0.61) compared with the Bengalis of northeast India (25.41% +/- 0.51), [...]"
