Problem is the Bloody Anglos kinda "unified" the South Asian sphere to the point the Western end of South Asia lost grasp of Persian as a 2nd language plus the Brahmins were put in higher position in the colonial govt causing the symptoms of cultural confusion on both sides of the border we dont actually have a traditional "South Asian" culture but its stereotypical or sadly basterdised culture that the British left as a result you have "foreign *** kissing" syndrome on both sides of the border, however I notice one group of people were able preserve their traditions and folklore were the Bengali people
Totally false. Pukhtoons, Punjabis, Kashmiris, Sindhis, Seraikis, Baloch all preserved their culture.
The only thing is that we suffered from collective amnesia before Islam as we replaced so much of our culture and society. The fact that we were recently settled nomads pre-Islam also affected this.
It is a different point altogether that we were under pressure from Hindus, Sikhs, British during British rule.
Much of our culture lives on in Sufi poetry, folk tales, customs, and village life.
Turkey nah too Eurasian and westward in lifestyle and thinking in my opinion in a distant past probably I would say Iran and parts of Afghanistan mostly but we are a unique Iranic peoples and county with our own twist on things
We are related by blood, culture, and martial heritage to Turks. The Ghaznavis and Mughal empire had a tremendous affect on us, similar to Ottomans and Seljuks, on Turks.
In Afghanistan, we are related to Pukhtoons and as for Iran, Eastern groups like Baloch.
I am nor for enforcement of dress codes as some Islamists say cause a hoe is hoe regardless wearing a hijab does not mean you are not a hoe there is plenty of hoejabis eh
@Dewaneh
Please stop using the term Islamist.
Long ago I began to understand that the a full return to tradition or in the Islamic world a full return to the Islamic system or something in the lines of that will not work fully, the past 100 years has practically broken societal norms to the point of no return everywhere not just in the west.The West as a whole is a dead horse, the only place I see some hope is perhaps Eurasian soceities, Islamic societies or somewhat the Far East, I noticed but they too can only preserve some aspects I give example Turkey a country that many Pakistani Islamists to Secularists often praise, despite Turkey being under Erdogan for two decades and the rise of the Islamic discourse in Turkish politics, Turkish society and its youth are more in line with their European counterparts or more westward you know why cause the idiot Islamists pushed away from their rhetoric and policies that failed same in Iran I supported the 1979 changes but the bloody mullahs dont understand the youth if you push the youth with stupid hypocritical rhetoric they will turn their backs and mark my worde Erdogan days are numbered he may win a election or two but his vote base is shrinking and once they fully are gone you wont have him no more this is why I find many Islamists to retards and have no sense of relastic sense they just dream and want to oggagabaogagag lets ban this without understanding you gotta be soft with these folks not the opposite and respect their choices but convince them otherwise
The young boys are not at fault here for have a natural reaction to hypersexualized girls sharing the same classroom space with them.
It's like putting a plate of food in front of a hungry person and then scolding them that "how dare you salivate and stare at the food!!!".
They are victims of the past 1000 plus years of soceital change that only people are starting to understand now
@Desert Fox
It still does not excuse their behavior. Plenty of healthy males are being created who do not degrade females, no matter how they dress.
We are not at war with females like alt right, but we aim to give respect to both genders and recreate society to prevent these issues. The reconstruction is already starting in Pakistan with PTI and will continue for the near future.
The change will come in stages.
If you look at what Quran and sunnah says, simply turn away from females and do not give them that attention. If you have to interact with females in the workplace or educational setting, keep it professional and respectful.
We are not responsible for the Non-Muslim society, but only for ourselves. The Western degeneracy must be excised from ourselves, if we choose the path of the Islamic lifestyle and give humanity another option.
I’m not saying it’s wrong that PK and BD are racially different.
It is neither wrong nor untrue.
But there is some degree of overlap in some individuals.
Proportionally I agree the vast majority are different.
But not all.
Case in point although it is largely anecdotal.
I myself come from a family where my paternal grandmother was from a Persian background however was born in West Bengal.
Maternally, I am not sure where my grandparents came from other than East Bengal, but my grand mother was extremely fair skinned.
As for me, I look more Pakistani than some Pakistanis.
That’s just me.
There are many other Bengali’s (mostly girls) that I know who you really couldn’t tell if they are Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi.
Again anecdotal.
But the point I’m making is that there is overlap and mixing of various ethnicities in various degrees all over South Asia.
I disagree. What you may think looks Pakistani may not necessarily be so to us.
We can even tell differences of Pakistanis based on province, ethnicity, and even religion just from physical appearances.
Are you Sylheti? They don’t look Pakistani, but definitely have a unique look.
I can concede some Bangladeshis May share Persian and Arab lineages, but please don’t bring Indians into this. The vast majority, 90%, share absolutely nothing in common racially with is with exception of some Sikhs and Rajastanis.
