Cochin Jews are the oldest group of Jews in India, with roots that are claimed to date back to the time of King Solomon. The Cochin Jews settled in the Kingdom of Cochin in South India, now part of the state of Kerala. As early as the 12th century, mention is made of the Jews in southern India.
On the low end, this makes Rh negatives 16% and on the high end 19.36% of the population.
Overall, Kerala has the highest percentage of Rh negatives in India.
I have done some personal research myself, once my DNA results revealed that I have 3% Indian ancestry, yoruba, as well as share most of my DNA with the British and North and south German people which is based on the last 100 years. , For some reason, only my paternal results was traced, nothing on mother’s side, so that’s all I had to go by. I have looked into the connection between Rh- and Germans, especially during the Viking era, as well as the Dutch Settlement into South Africa, and found very little connection there I found a connection between the British Celts, but I traced the rh- bloodline trait even further back then the Celts. , so I decided to look into the most ancient ancestry results, that which is named as the oldest and least of my ancestors on the DNA chart, as common sense would tell you the DNA traits from the most furthest back would be the origins of your ancestry dna not the last 100 years. Especially if your tracing a bloodline or characteristic of a specific DNA trait. I know there is a high frequency of rh- in the Basque country, and that they are different to the local or modern people of Spain and France which are the descendants of Japheth’s bloodline, yet they share some DNA traits, which would be the case if the Jewish bloodline which came through Arpaxshad and who lived in ancient India not long after the flood and intermarried with the Medes, which were the descendants of Madai a son of Japhet, crossing the bloodlines of Shem and Japhet at a very early age of our ancient history. So not going that far back, but only to about the 10th century, it is believed by scholars that some Jewish tribes migrated to Spain , specifically the Iberian Peninsula, during the expulsion of the Jews. So therefore you have to look at the history of the Jews in Spain, Portugal and even France. . Sepharad is the Ancient Hebrew Word for Spain. Since Biblical times, the Jewish people have referred to Spain as Sepharad. We see this in the Book of Obadiah, where we are told that “the exile of Jerusalem which is in Sepharad shall inherit the cities of the southland.” Where is Sepharad? The Targum Jonathan identifies it as “Espania,” Spain. Thus, the Jewish people living in Spain and the Iberian Peninsula (as well as their descendants) became known as Sephardim.
Beginning in the early 16th century there was a new migration of Jews to Kerala. Some of the newcomers were Sephardic (Spanish) Jews, direct and indirect refugees from the Spanish and Portuguese expulsions, who came to India by way of Aleppo, Constantinople, and the Land of Israel. Others were from Iraq, Persia, Yemen, and Germany. Though the rh- bloodline TRAIT can be traced to the ancient Israelites, it can also be traced further back to descendants before the flood, and it does not trace back to the Nephilim but to a bloodline from which the Kings and high priests descended which were coming from the ordained bloodline of the Righteous sons of SETH, all the way to MTHUSELAH the HIGHPRIEST and KING before the flood, who was a son of THE SCRIBE ENOCH. Only to be carried forth through the wives of SHEM, Ham and Japhet which were also from the bloodline of Seth, and were the daughters of Noah’s uncle which made them grand nieces tof Noah’s sons. The Seth bloodline have more intermarriage to keep their bloodline pure. The same with Shem’s bloodline, until Madai a son of Japhet marries the sister of Arpaxshad the son of Shem, and his son Kainam marries the daughter of Madai, the bloodline crosses twice and the rh- bloodline or Seth-line trait becomes recessive. Kainam son of Arpaxshad has a son with the daughter of Madai and they have a son Shelah, which marry Muak his niece on his father’s side the line of Shem and start the rh- line all over again. Shelah marries his niece, keeping it in the Seth bloodline until Kesed and Ur is born, Ur builds a city and calls it Ur of the Chaldees, which may or may not be Uruk or Erech the first city in ancient Sumer, ruled by no other than Ur of the Chaldees a descendant of Arpaxshad from the bloodline of Shem, through which Abraham, Isaac and Israelites descends.
