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.
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.
Please stop using the term Islamist.
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.
Well personally we are under the Indian cultural imperialism as I call it and the problem since 1947 is the every government rather than creating a unified coherent identity cause we are a nation state for Pakistanis but instead of creating a unitary state or much more direct Federal rule we pushed for lose federation of provinces which I think was a mistake to do in the first place as for regional culture you are right among the peoples yes but the its promoted its lot less in the "cosmopolitan cities" of Lahore,Karachi, or Isb where you have Indian cultural imperialism up the necks and thats where bulk of the population is

I am not denying some of Pakistan population has links to the Turks/Turkic tribes of CAS but you have to look at both ways like the Indo-Aryan invasion of thousands of years ago and the Mongol/Turkic invasions hundreds of years ago those two groups intermarried with the locals hence they lost much of the closeness same with the Turks in Anatolia like it or not the Turks are part of Europe in a way this is why a good chunk of them lean westward in society and in lifestyle its geography matters
