According to legend, the fair-haired and blue-eyed inhabitants of Malana are descended from Alexander's soldiers.
The legend of Alexander the Great lives on. In Himachal Pradesh’s sleepy Malana, a cluster of 12 villages comprising eight clans, the mystique comes alive when its inhabitants proclaim themselves as descendants of "the Greek" king and speak a language only they can understand.

From the linguistic point of view Malana appears to be an island. The language of the village, called Kanashi, is unintelligible for outsiders from the Kullu or Parvati Valley, who speak dialects belonging to Indo-European family of languages. It has been classified as a Sino-Tibetan tongue, related to Milchang which is a sub-branch of Kinnauri (a group of dialects spoken in Kinnaur). According to the 1961 census, language speakers were 563. Today the population of Malana is at least three times as large as 40 years ago. Although villagers claim to be descendants of Alexander the Great soldiers there is no proved lexical link with "Greek":bravo: or Macedonian:ija: languages. The core of the Kanashi vocabulary consists of Tibetan and Hindi layers. Language is also considered to be one of the secrets of the village and outsiders are not allowed to use it for communication. The two lower caste Julahas and Lohar families who have been staying in the village since the last five decades are not allowed to speak Kanashi.

People outside of Malana do not understand the Kanashi language spoken in the hamlet. Scholars think it might be a mixture of
Sanskrit:bravo: (“Tvam Kutra Gacchati?” (Where are you going?)....“Aham Gramam Gachchami,” (I am going to the village)) id(v)am akam (po ulici) grabam kon kuka mi...and several Tibetan dialects.

A network analysis indicates that two closely related haplotypes account for a large proportion of Malani Y chromosomes. We predicted Y-chromosome haplogroups and found that
J2:bravo: and R1a were the most prevalent.

In these regions, HGs J2a1b-M67(xM92) and J2a1b1-M92 have spatial and temporal characteristics consistent with the spread of early farmers and Bronze Age cultures (Di Giacomo et al. 2004). Besides the notable absence of J2a1b-M67(xM92) and J2a1b1-M92 in southwestern Asia, HGs J1-M267 and G-M201 that, respectively, occur at 9% and 10.9% in Turkey (Cinniog˘ lu et al. 2004), 33.1% and 2.2% in Iraq (Al-Zahery et al. 2003), and 3.4% and 6% in Pakistan are also virtually absent in India (table 5), indicating differential influences from the Middle East:zlo: in southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia.

Various episodes of population movement have affected southeast Europe, and the role of the
Balkans as a longstanding gateway to Europe from the Near East is illustrated by the phylogenetic unification of Hgs I and J by the basal M429 mutation. This evidence of common ancestry suggests that ancestral IJ-M429* Y chromosomes probably entered Europe through the Balkan route sometime before the Last Glacial Maximum.
They subsequently evolved into Hg J in the Middle East:bravo: and Hg I in Europe in a typical disjunctive phylogeographic pattern.
