@OP
23andMe breaks your info down into pretty broad areas. Obviously, people move around, populations migrate, and you can only pin things down to a geographic area in a very broad sense most of the time. Don't expect it to be super detailed. It's also not a complete picture. Their test only identifies some genetic markers that are easy and fairly reliable to find.

If you have any family members who also are in the system, then you can do some interesting stuff filling in a family tree that will eliminate some of the uncertainty around your own numbers. It's fun to play with though. Have fun!

I wish there was anything interesting about my heritage. It's pretty homogeneous and known.

Yes. Many people have a lot of anger and resentment on both sides since partition is still in living memory. My grandfather was nearly beheaded for not converting to Islam.

Are you up to getting your sewer pipe rammed and jammed daily.
Your sex partners in prison are limited gender wise. Just because your cell mate calls himself Cathy, does not make him a her.

I would be wary of the sincerity of conversions at gunpoint. I mean look at the Marranos in Spain. You end up with "Christian" "converts" that are still secretly Jewish. It just forces them underground.

Aren't they also supposed to offer you the option of paying a tax and not converting?

You gotta hand it to the Muslims. They know how to get people not to fuck with them. Cut a few heads off, blow up a couple buildings and Comedy Central won't let South Park make fun of you.
