We are missing because our diversity was never sequenced with the zeal given to the West. The cost is that a genetic finding in Delhi may not apply in Shimla, leading to medicines that miss their mark. In my lab, I see this gap daily while aligning Pahari samples to a reference built for other lands. It feels like trying to play a haunting pahadi raga on a harmonium tuned only to Western scales—the essence, the true sur, is lost.
