I take your point. To be honest, Arabs (the Gulf Arabs especially), Iranians and even Southern Europeans are generally not that good looking anyway; its the Northern and Western Europeans that are the best looking people. And to be honest, I am not all that religious anyway. I certainly...

Not Europeans. I have three of my own family (distant relatives) married to white Europeans and I don't like it. Two are already divorced after 3/4 years of marriage. Anyway, given the current economic state and overpopulation of Bangladesh, why would Europeans settle there en masse?

Arab or Persian - either will do. I've had a few sleepless nights worrying about what will happen to Bangladesh in the future, after most of us have passed on, because of our location. I occasionally listen to sad Bengali songs and they fill me with tears.

They represent the best of Islam. But my only concern is that Arabs are not particularly intelligent people. So do we want to dumb down the Bangladeshis in favour of better looks and a more purer Muslim, or do we want to keep status quo and accept Bangladesh as a lost cause?

Was the Bengali spoken during the Mughal period very different from the one we speak now? I know the Brahmins standardised the Bengali language during the British period and I'd imagine there were a lot more Arabic and Persian words in there before.

We must use both China and India. You can't ignore powerful countries in your vicinity if you wish to grow as country economically. Isolation will only stunt growth, but let's not cosy up too much to either. We trade with them keeping our distance. I just don't trust the Chinese. These road and...

I thought your username might have something to do with the Bronx in New York (although, the film might also have something to do with the Bronx in NY) Yes, I see strong admixture on Fateh Ali Khan and some on Imran Khan (the cricketer) as well. But Imran was a handsome man with very Europoid...

Without meaning disrespect, my experience of Pakistanis in the UK is that they are not very intelligent. But maybe you don't need a very intelligent workforce to grow as a country.

Muslims in Bengal weren't just converted ones. Who do you think the Muslim invaders into Bengal over those centuries married? The very first Muslims came to Bengal in the 12th century at which time the population of Bengal would have been nothing like today, a small percentage of what it is...

Someone said you were South Indian, so can I ask where your experiences of Bengalis are from? I am guessing that you might be in the US with an username like 'bronxbull'. My own impression is that Bengalis show minor mongoloid admixture (other than the tribals), usually most prominent around...

Not all Hazaras look the same; some look more Caucasian while others look more Mongoloid while most probably look in between. The ones who look more Caucasian are the good looking ones.

Stop with your Islamic fundamentalism. You will ruin Bangladeshi genetics for the sake of spreading Islam. I am a Muslim but I am not crazy about it. Every society that is too religious tends to be backward. Hazaras are ugly other than few who look very Caucasian. Who wants to look like a...

Of course upper classes generally tend to look better. And since, historically at least, men have been the main component of this group, they used their wealth and power to select the prettiest women for their brides. In other words, selective breeding. With the lower classes, as they say...

Would you say all these Bangladeshi football players have Mongoloid influence in their eyes? http://paradiseintheworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bangladesh-football-team-2012.jpg

20 samples of Bengalis overall but around 5 Bangladeshis. Bangladeshis are diverse phenotypally, even within the same region. You get some a Bangladeshis that look more North Indian, some look more South Indian, some show appreciable signs of Mongol admixture. So even if they all have same...

Yes different regions of Bengal but the Bangladeshi sample was from the same region. What samples anyway? 4 or 5 Bangladeshis is not representative of a sample. You can't analyse a whole population on the basis of a sample size of 5. It would be ridiculously inaccurate. I will probably agree...

I am very much aware of this study. For one, the sample size of Bangladeshis was very small and came from the same region; secondly, genotype and phenotype do not always match. Also, this study averages East Asian admixture in non-Brahmin Bengalis approximating close to 15% whereas another study...

Don't talk nonsense. Brahmins typically don't look different to the non-Brahmins of their regions. Generally speaking, you get higher percentage of better looking people among upper classes than lower but the difference is not that big. It's no different in Bangladesh where you get a higher...

Do you seriously want the Chinese to establish a road and rail link to Bangladesh? They are ugly as f**k. They will change the genetic composition of Bangladesh over time. I'd rather commit suicide. We have had a terrible misfortune of being located near these people and their kind in the...

Because the Chinese are the worst. We should trade with them but only at distance.
