A focused population profile of Asur people, their eastern and central Indian Adivasi background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Asur people are an Adivasi community associated mainly with Jharkhand and nearby parts of eastern and central India. Their history is often discussed within the wider tribal belt of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Bihar, and West Bengal.
Asur is usually classified within the Austroasiatic/Munda sphere, though Sadri, Hindi, and other regional languages may also be used. The community is known in ethnographic literature for traditional iron-smelting associations and local forest-plateau lifeways.
As a genetic reference, Asur is useful for comparison with Gond, Santhal Bangladesh, Santhal India, Bhunjia Chhattisgarh, Mawasi Chhattisgarh, Nihali, Bhumij, Korwa, Birhor, Dhurwa Odisha, Ho, and Paniya.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Asur is Santhal Bangladesh. Other nearby references include Bhumij Odisha, Santhal Chhattisgarh, Santhal Jharkhand, and Ho Odisha. This gives the Asur profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Asur ancestry is best interpreted through central-eastern Indian Adivasi population structure, with close links to Gond, Santhal, Bhumij, Korwa, Birhor, Ho, and related tribal-belt references.
The heatmap should emphasize Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, eastern Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Bangladesh Santhal references, and the wider central-eastern Indian tribal belt.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Santhal Bangladesh. Other nearby references include Bhumij Odisha, Santhal Chhattisgarh, Santhal Jharkhand, and Ho Odisha.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Santhal Bangladesh is the closest listed match to the Asur average after removing Asur itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Asur G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
