To be honest, you would be hard pressed to find some mention of 'Pashtun' or 'Afghan' in pre-Islamic times much less a mention of some Jewish connection.

Yes, genetically they dont have much affinity with Ashkenazi, Mizrahi or Sephardic Jews. Which are those pre-Islamic sources?

Well, anyway it's been disproved pretty much via actual historic evidence (mass migrations like such would be very unlikely not to mention logistical problems) and genetics. Only some early 20th century British writers started it.

How are Ashkenazies and Yemeni Jews being converts relevant here? Pashtuns don't have any such documented history of conversions to Judaism. And even among Jews, there are many different groups such as Sephardi, Mizrahim etc. The Jewish theory was pretty outlandish to begin with and with...

Lol, the genetic evidence isn't that inconclusive or inconclusive at all. It's pretty obvious that this Jewish connection isn't true.

Analysis of partition. Just by the way. Here is a pre-1947 map of British Colonial India, showing Muslim majority and Hindu majority regions: With provinces represented: Further, the focus being on Punjab, here is a map of Muslim-Hindu-Sikh percentages, in the Punjabi speaking areas of...

Please read the previous two pages of this thread, I have addressed your point.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Lol, I think all those Afghan kids need to update their maps of Loy Afghanistan made on MS Paint ;)

Well, basically different Prakrits including Sauraseni from which it descended from as you have mentioned. But that's not what I was arguing about. And I think, in this context, it's rather pointless to delve into the deep history of the (Hindustani) language, given that most of it's...

So the word 'بدیسی' badesi, is used for Europeans, as the book says? It also says that 'badesi maal' is referred to as 'wilayati maal' with specific reference to Europeans/British only.

Interesting. So North-Western South Asian territories mentioned here refer to Afghanistan? Btw do Pashtuns use 'wilayati' term for Europeans/British or not?

Do you think people use 'waleti' for Pashtuns?

Just thought to post this here. Have to say, really nicely made. Regions of the Indus Basin - Pakistan: @Kaptaan @Mentee @Kambojaric @Max @Zibago @django @DESERT FIGHTER @Pakistani Exile @Moonlight @WAJsal
