This article mentions Turkmen Afghans as well. Does anyone know what percentage or number of non-Pashtun Afghans (Tajiks, Uzbeks, Hazaras etc.) are in Punjab?

Yeah, PMLN is pretty popular in the Potohar Plateau :-)

You can't compare Semitic to such a large language family like Indo-European (comparison with Afro-Asiatic would be slightly more apt). It would be better to compare it to a sub-group like Indo-Iranian perhaps. Regarding the homogenity of Semitic groups how close do you think Yemeni Bedouins or...

His stories just don't add up. His family migrated from Rajasthan to Gujrat, Punjab in the mid-1800s (probably British times), converted to Islam but somehow his father ended up in Bombay and migrated to Karachi in 1947 where he was born and brought up? And look at his accent from the video...

The thing is, Seraiki itself is hardly a homogenous language and has a lot of variation/dialects in itself. Derawali spoken in DG Khan/Rajanpur differs from 'Riasti' of Bahwalpur and Rahim Yar Khan. Not to mention the nomadic tribes of Cholistan that speak some Marwari dialects. Moreover, these...

Tell me, I'm curious.

What do you mean 'where Singh are from'? It is a surname used all over India. He clearly mentions his family migrating from Rajasthan to Punjab and converting in the 19th century, his father was from Bombay and moved to Karachi in 1947 where he was born and brought up. His story doesn't even add...

Tarek Fatah is not a Punjabi, he himself mentioned in a tweet that his ancestors came from Rajasthan in the 19th century to Punjab supposedly and converted to Islam. Moreover, his father was born in Bombay and moved to Karachi in 1947, his story seems too fishy. He only claims to be Punjabi so...

What do you mean? How is Tarek Fatah relevant here?

There is even a 'Seraiki Ajrak Day' based on a blue Seraiki ajrak (called sajrak) developed by Seraiki nationalists for their new province. Kind of like how Sindhi topi and ajrak were all hyped up by Sindhi nationalists as symbols of Sindh which was itself reactionary due to the threat of Urdu...

lol, next up Faisalabadies will claim to be an oppressed nation and start Azad Chenab Bar tehreek.

MULTAN: Famous Seraiki poet Rifat Abbas has turned down the Pride of Punjab Award carrying a Rs300,000 prize, conferred on him by the Punjab government, citing moral and ideological reasons. The Punjab Institute of Language, Art and Culture, working under the patronage of the Punjab...

Technically, Afro-Asiatic speakers don't have much of a close genetic affinity either. e.g Ashkenazi Jews cluster with other Eastern Europeans rather than Peninsular/Gulf Arabs. Same case with Maghrebis and Berbers. And do you have a source for Arabs (Peninsular and Gulf ones) being closer to...

How are you connecting the Vedic Aryans and IVC to modern day Indians? makes no sense.

I think it's obvious that people are going to be similar to their neighbouring populations. I dont think modern Greeks differ much genetically from Ancient Greeks. Also, the thing to be noted is that Ancient Greeks (and Romans as well) did not see themselves as being kin to the Northern/Western...

Greeks and Sicillians have been Arabized?

This does not mean that Iranians have direct Arab ancestry, just that their ancestry resembles them most out of the other references. And Iranian isnt an ethnic group, they have Persian, Kurd, Luri, Gilaki etc. groups in them.

Why does everything happen backwards in Gujranwala? lmao
