I know it doesn't, but for some reason DNATribes says I have Pakistani and Indian gen
The most common denominator, genetically speaking, between Scandinavia and South Asia (Indian and Pakistan) is the R1a1 ydna haplogroup, spread throughout parts of Europe by the Kurgans and their descendents, and carried to South Asia by the Aryans. Yes, I know this may be an oversimplification, but there is no doubt that the two regions share a recent ancestral population that has contributed to their genetic makeup. I'm sure autosomal genetics tests have a long ways to go as far as sorting out what dna results should be assoicated with which modern populations. The results we are getting at the moment are merely the first go around for these companies, so I'm sure there will continual modifications as to how the results are reported and interpreted. FTDNA offered ABDNA tests some years back, and stopped because it the results and subsequent confusion were causing a lot of contreversy.
