But neverthless they are different group. Bhutan tigers resemble Indochinese tigers in some phenotypic features. They must be seperate group. Northeast group must be containing genes that have indochinese genes indeniously admixed to form completely different genotype. Central Indian and sunderban are seperate group as you said. I was certain from beginning that ranthambore tigers are inbred. Western ghat tigers must be seperate as they have nilgiri biosphere where genetic exchange occurs. Eastern ghat tigers must be one group. Tigers from kashmir must be containing some siberian or caspian genes from russia, afghanistan, china etc. Tigers across borders must be containing different genotypes. Considering caspian and siberian are similar groups, these tigers must have one genotype. But these are just opinions.

Valid point.. my original post edited.
