He was born in Jammu but was an ethnic Sindhi

Yaar, I'm not able to comment on the other Harappa/IVC thread that you have tagged me in due to not having enough 'privelege points'. Do you know how I can get them or comment there since I have a reply to Joe Shearer on that thread.

The 'martial' or 'agricultural' tribes of Punjab were only fully formalised in the Punjab Land Alienation Act of 1900. The motive behind this new act was stated by C.L Cupper, British official in 1896: 'Punjab lies on the rear of any British army operating in Afghanistan and in the path of any...

How is Indian civilization the successor of the Indus Valley Civilization? The successor is Pakistan not India. At the time when the Indus Valley flourished people of the Ganga and Dravida (South of the Vindhyas) region were still uncivilized and had no culture. No the Indus people did not...

Also, I disagree with the term 'Children' of the Indus. This is just Gandhian talk that was started by the non-violence Swadeshi movement leaders, being 'children' of some great mother. Such talk perhaps befits the Gangetic or the Dravidic man but not the Indus man. I am yet to see Europeans or...

Still these percentages form very little as compared to the Pakistani Punjabis and Sindhis therefore, overall shouldnt even matter. Pakistanforever hadn't originally read the article either and he misunderstood the entire thread and his original post has been deleted I guess. That is what led to...

My friend I believe we got off on the wrong foot. What you are saying is essentially correct that the people of Pakistan (Punjabis, Pashtuns, Sindhis and Balochs) are not one homogeneous group of people but different ethicities. India has a lot more ethnicities then that and they are not...

Well we can conclude that the ANI:ASI ratios, overall taking populations of both India and Pakistan, are going to be different...

Then why are you so uptight about it puttar ji. The samples are listed right next to the sample names on the spreadsheet and they dont look inadequate to me.

The Harappa DNA Project has taken the largest samples from not only South Asia but across the Middle East, Central Asia as well. It is also the most cited or referenced to study by all genealogists when studying South Asia. Have you actually even seen it? Do you think genetic studies are a sham...

The Zhob and Kundar Rivers, both tributaries of the Indus (just like Jhelum, Chenab etc.) pass through Balochistan.

What are you trying to say? We know that the Indus exists because we can see it. Saraswati etc. is myth.

Don't know why you are getting excited here. It's from the Rig Veda of the Indo-Aryans which was formed exclusively in modern day Pakistan at the Indus in Punjab.

What 'opinion' have you shared exactly? Other then falsely accusing me of saying that I am claiming that Pakistanis are the descendants of Arabs/Turks/Iranians, which I clearly have not. Other then that I have told you about the different ethnicities and linguistics of Pakistanis as compared to...

Are you honestly trolling? Do I need to capitalize this now? NO ONE IS CLAIMING ARAB/TURKIC/IRANIAN OR ANY OTHER ANCESTRY. Have you gotten that through your head or do I need to repeat it like 20 times over (I already have said it about 3 times). And no one is claiming that the different...

Janjua Rajputs may claim that, however they arent found in India and are found exclusively in the Potohar Hills, Pakistan. And all Rajputs also claim descent either from the sun (Suryavanshi), moon (Chandravanshi) or fire ( Agnikula) however we all know that it isnt physically possible. As for...

No offense, but you seriously are starting to sound very idiotic right now. Half of those tribes you have mentioned are of Rajput origin half are Jatts. Jatts and Rajputs are different. Do you even know how Rajputs were actually formed? They were formed around the 1st century AD or so, when the...

That still doesnt change the fact that Punjabis form only 2% of Indians and Sindhis form only 0.3% (realistic estimate) of Indians. Please do count Mohajirs as well since they form only 6% of Pakistanis. It doesnt change anything. About Pashtuns, there are more Pashtuns in Pakistan than almost...

Again, as I have previously said no one is denying links to India or saying that we are totally, completely, absolutely different (as in Chinese and European form of different). If you are going to talk about similarities then the French and the Italians are similar as well as are the English...

Part of British Punjab, you mean. They shouldnt have been amalgamated with Punjab in the first place since they speak totally different languages and have a different culture. Haryana? Not modern day Haryana since they speak a Central Indo-Aryan language and none of the five rivers of Punjab...
