yes, the Mughals are predominantly Turks. shan does not know this. He does not know about Turks in Pakistan.
The Ghauris mixed with Seljuqs and Oghuz Turks [ Khurasani Turks ] for more than 500 years. They have intermarried with them, even though their character was Khorasai Persian, sometimes called Tajik.
shan does not know about Chughtais of northern Punjab, and Jammu.

whose lack of Mongoloid features?
my Baloch uncle in Pasni says the Baloch are from Syria, and are Israelite in origin
brother, Mughal is synonymous with Turkic.
The Mughals were Turkic. Because Teymoor claimed to be a descendent of the Mongols, that is the reason why Babar was Mughal [ Mongol in Persian ]. Mughal I a new name given to this group when it came to india.
Actually Babar was a Turk from Uzbekistan. He spoke Turkic langage.
Qazalbash are Turks [ many of them of Mont ] and they are one of the main Mughal tribes in settled in Lahore [ being twelve Shiite ]
They are in Peshawar, and in Afghanistan, and have a major concentration all over Iran.
Pakistanis don't seem to know much about the Turkish ad Mughal relationship
