I heard that there is a special blood group that they found only in Indians called the S group. Just curious about it. Does anyone know anything about it?

The Bombay group lacks the red blood cell H antigen (and I think the genotype is h/h or "se/se" which is maybe where you are getting the "S" from?). It is rare but found in the Indian population. It gets complicated but has to do with the sugars on red cells and a Bombay type would end up appearing as if they are type O but they really aren't O.

Based on the descriptions and my honest choice [usually biased] I fit AB and O with none of the negatives though my confidence may be perceived for arrogance Sun - Aquarius Moon - Aries Again bias from selection :/.... people choose what they choose and it may not be the truth also only 4 types... Dunno my actual blood type :/... but I wouldn't be surprised if it was AB or O... though that is 50% chance combined If I had to fit each to an element O = Fire or Water B = Fire + Sag + Pisces maybe Water AB = Air or Earth definitely A = Earth... specifically Virgo.... Also Fixed Signs and Water signs, probably fixed Water too These descriptions are a bit too much of each sign and not hard wired into a clear decision But again like the previous question I would say if someone had like a setup with Cancer sun Scorpio moon and lots of water with no Air and then "Got" [Chose] Sanguine... I would be like duuuuuuuuuuuude.............BS!!!!!!!!!!... Liar!! Unlike other people I'm not politically correct, I'm honest... And astrologers don't like working backwards, or saying a sign isn't more of "this, or 'that" ... I have no interest in doing that especially if it's the truth....

You heard wrong or someone was making a fool out of you sorry.
Blood typing depends on the antigens present in your blood. You can only have A, B or neither. Your blood type is made up by the combination of antigens you have. Everyone has a pair. If you have AA or AO you are blood type A (same for B). If you have A and B then you are AB. And if you have neither you are O.
The only exception known is one that Orinoco (below) points out. The "bombay" blood type but it is usally expressed hh and is not limited to any one group of people.

There's Haemoglobin S, found in various populations around the world, not just in India, mainly in Africa. But that is not a blood group.

There is no such thing.
I was a medic in the USAF for 20 years and never, never saw nor heard of a blood type S. I have also taken several biology related college classes, and guess what? No blood type S.

Are you talking about the "Bombay phenotype"? I haven't heard about it being called the "S group", but these people do not express substance H - it's a different gene locus to the ABO blood group so they do actually have ABO genes but they do not express them on their RBC surface.
This is exceedingly rare stuff.
Have a look at the wiki page

I donot think there is any S blood group.......only Rh we have in our blood basically A,B,AB,O in negative and positive......
In some people u can see antibodies as u said when they have blood transfusion.......... like as u described............so the crossmatching of the blood ds done in more detailed way at the moment....
