can't agree with you more.while being muslim does gives us all some common values and morals but thinking that it negates or overcomes the cultural values is plain ignorance.Thank you.
Not offended - I merely qualified your comment. South Asia is a disparate region and is only a geographic construct relying mostly on British understanding of geography. There is precious little to connect a Baloch Muslim with a Rohingya Muslim, ditto for a Pashtun and a Tamil Muslim, ditto for a Kashmiri Muslim with a Malayalam Muslim. You presuppose that mere conversion to a religion produces similar impress. That certainly is not the case.
For example a Bengali Muslim retains far more similarities to a Bengali Hindu then to a Kashmiri Muslim. A Tamil Muslim displays almost the same reflex as a Tamil Hindu and is far more distant to a Punjabi Muslim by comparison.
If one were to accept that religion as a force of change was so great that it leveled everything than that would apply across the board - not just in South Asia' unless human characteristics and behaviour are especial in South Asia which is not the case. In short Muslims in Central Asia, West Asia or South Asia would all stand out from the rest.
anyway we are getting off topic here lets head back
