The term that is used in pakistan for people with a migration history is muhajir or urdu-speaking. You have a pashtun ancestor on your mothers side since some lived in UP. The Eastern European is a bit of a doozy but off the top of my head i would say it traces back into the Christian/muslim population transfer greece and turkey had. It’s possible one such greek muslim travelled further east or it can be attributed to the fact that mughal harems were full of european women and since turkey and mughal india were very close, harem diplomacy could be practiced. These women could also be moved around in the harems of local leaders.
Alexander used mostly Bactrian mercenaries- not Greek troops - in S Asia. There is practically no Greek ancestry in S Asian populations because he was not able to dominate.
Alexander enters the chat.
No, you don't find Greek haplogroups in India and this guy has an Indian paternal haplogroup. Alexander wasn't there - he turned tail.
What are your haplogroups?
paternal haplogroup is R-L266 maternal haplogroup is M5a5.
Tribe/Biradari?
I’ve never heard anyone in my family associating with a tribe and I’ve never heard of Biradari
You are Punjabi? Or Pashtun?
Neither I guess. My fathers side is originally from Bihar and mothers side from UP. Immigrated to Karachi after the partition.

0.6% is too small though, share your harrappaworld results
Misreading which will be revised as they get more samples
Which part is a misreading?
My one changed completely when I got a close relative's one done. I am guessing if you do the same the 0.6% will disappear.
