A Strange Marriage Custom of Hindkowans

Well a South Indian Muslim friend of my in university told me this. He said we South Indian Muslims are descendents of Arab n Yemeni traders

Most of the south indian muslims are native converts. Only few (royals) are Persian descendants.

Some Arabs settled in Sindh and Multan when they ruled it. But very few people directly migrated from Arabia and settled across South Asia. Most of the people with Arab lineage (Syed, Qurehis etc) migrated from Central Asia when Genghis Khan's forces were wiping out people there. Still these Syeds etc actually formed a small fraction of the foreign immigrants to India which largely consisted of Turks, Persians, Ethopians and Afghans. And as already pointed out, majority of the South Indian Muslims are converts from Hinduism, which was due to efforts of preaching by saints.

by the way Hindko sounds like Punjabi but sound much much sophisticated than Punjabi proper

Being of Pashtun descent and being pashtun are two different things and i kind of know a thing or two about Hindko i can easily understand the Haripur dialect and to a degree the Abbotabad city and SHerwan region dialect but some dialects are difficult to understand
You are mixing up two things here

The hindko dialect spoken in Haripur is easy to understand just as the the Hindko dialect mostly spoken in Rawalpindi side and then in Islamabad. The Hindko dialect spoken in Abbottabad is a little bit harder and has more closeness to Sherwan people so, both regions have almost the same dialect. Manshera side has also somewhat easy dialect but that languaage has some closeness to the Pahaari people example like word achnay means coming is more commonly used in Pahaari and Manshera people Dialect, whereas in Abbottabad and haripur they say tusi anay ho.
by the way Hindko sounds like Punjabi but sound much much sophisticated than Punjabi proper and other thing that I noticed is that Hindko is the dialect of Punjabi that is most closest to Urdu. I could understand almost 70% of it when I hear my aunty speaking to her family. Yes other 30% I can't understand what she says.

There is Indian tradition that you do not eat in the in-laws home of your daughter. Not sure if it is the same in Pakistan.
Very common in some Pashtun circles and these traditions still alive in Sub continent. But few hundred years back Jadoons were hindu and still stick with there traditions.

Well I don't think Jadoon were Hindus previously because Jadoons are basically Pashtun tribe and migrated to Hazards region most likely from Afghanistan because their Pashto speaking fellow clan members also reside in nearby Swabi. So like other Pashtun tribes they were most likely Buddhists before conversion to Islam.

Yes, before migrating to Hazara region they were follower of Hindu religion. That's what i read. I think Buddhist are passive . But, Hindu religion is more ritualistic by nature.

Yes is my custom and my culture

I could never eat or drink at my sisters houses and ones been married for 20 years plus .

People have turned white and follow gora culture too much
I know someone who eats and stays at his sister and bro in laws house when visiting
We call him names
 
.
Yes . The tradition is still alive among certain Hindkowan clans but not all. As already explained, the tradition has more to do with not burdening the Brand new In laws.
Call them again after a while for Dinner and they will eat and drink at yours without problem.
The other Tradition is that the Groom runs away on the day of his wedding and has to be found and brought back by Cousins and Brothers.
I've been to a wedding in narowal, the groom slaps the shyt outta his mates... it's considered good luck.. and whoever gets slaps has his wedding around the corner.

Very true. Around 1000 BC Vedic rishis had started to elaborate the Vedas in the form of Upanishads as they felt that the core message of Vedas was being lost with misinterpretation due to passage of time. 100s of such Upanishads were written before the advent of Jainism and Buddhism. Around 600 BC Jainism and Buddhism took this message forward making these two Vedic philosophies atheistic in nature while Shiva & Vaishnava Vedic philosophies continued to remained theistic in nature. Around 700 AD Adi Shankaracharya debated, convinced and preached for the unity of various Vedic schools of thought and brought most of Buddhists, Jains, Shivites & Vaishnavites of India under the umbrella of modern day Hinduism.

@Narendra Trump @Hallian_Khan

The other strange traditions, which are partly followed are

  • Groom's friends literally tearing his pants on the eve of wedding ........
  • In some villages the village barber would change the dress of the groom
