DNA fingerprinting with VNTRs? Arre, VNTR baba... these are repeating parts in our DNA, haan? So, lab mein we cut DNA near these VNTRs, run it on a gel, and get a band pattern—like a barcode, unique for each person! That pattern comes from the different lengths you inherit from your maa and baap.
But you see, in my Ranchi, this "unique" idea... it makes me think. In our basti, three brothers share the same father, same VNTR bands maybe, but their lives? One drives an auto like me, one is in jail for a fight, one got a teacher job. Lab ki band same, but zindagi ka pattern alag-alag. Machine cannot see the difference a mother's stitched uniform or a daughter's dream makes.
So yes, band identifies the body, beta. But the person? That is made on the road to Hazaribagh, not in the test tube.
