Abstract
Although many Indian surnames are common across the whole country, some are specifically associated
with just one of the 35 states and union territories that comprise India today. For example, Reddy comes
from Andhra Pradesh and Das, Ghosh and Roy from West Bengal. We investigated the extent to which
researchers with names associated with some of the larger states were writing scientific papers in those
states, and in other ones, and to see how these relative concentrations (relative to the whole of India) had
changed since the early 1980s. We found that West Bengalis, for example, were now significantly less
concentrated in their home state than formerly, and that their concentrations elsewhere were strongly
influenced by the state’s geographical distance from West Bengal and, to a lesser extent, by the correlation
between the scientific profile of their host state and their own preferences (which favored physics and
engineering over biology and mathematics). Thus they were strongly represented in nearby Bihar, Assam
and Orissa, and much less so in Tamilnadu and Kerala.
1. Introduction: the use of names to identify ethnic, national, regional and
family origins
There is now a significant amount of literature on the use of names, particularly surnames
or paternal family names, as identifiers of the origins of individuals. One of the first
studies was in 1875 by Darwin1 in which he determined the rate of consanguineous
marriages or inbreeding (between cousins) by an analysis of those couples who had the
same surname. More recently, names have been used as a proxy for race or ethnicity in
order to compare the morbidity and mortality of different groups, particularly immigrants
to the USA2, to Canada 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and to the UK 8, 9, 10, 11. In France, surnames have been used
to assist in the location of potential bone marrow donors 12 and in Sweden, to check if
non-Swedish children were obtaining appropriate health care13.
Another application is to study the structure and movements of populations. One of the
first studies was of Korean immigrants to the USA, using the name “Kim” which is very
common in Korea14. Piazza and his colleagues15 did this in Italy and found that the
surname method turned out to be surprisingly robust, and gave results comparable with

U don't need an equipment to locate illegal wealth amassed by the corrupt politicians and officials, u can smell it if u wish, but can u take any action ? When u can see it clearly and do not have the will to take any action, what is the need to invent an equipment. The day india will to do away with corruption, it will be the beginning of a new era. We will be on the road to become a super power. But tell me honestly, who would risk to expose the powerful politicians and their illgotten, illegal, corrupt wealth ? Do u have the courage to take correct and appropriate action as per law ?
