Many of our "Sufi traditions" have actually nothing to do with Islam and are in fact remnant continuation of our pre-Islamic traditions, practices and religions, which are now guised under Sufism.
That is according to one tradition that is largely discarded by the scholarly community as it came much later. Most academics agree to his origin being of Gandhara, which has produced numerous other Buddhist scholars that became renowned in the Far East. We also know by early traditions of his physical appearance; he had blue eyes, light skin and brownish hair which further supports his origins being of Gandhara which is now modern-day North Pakistan.
Even Zoroastrianism had more influence in Taxila than Hinduism.
Another striking resemblance is their celebration of Vedic-origin festivals (now painted with an Islamic theme) and their clothing, which was identical to the Gandharan Buddhists.
haha that's not Gandharan buddhist. If a robe is the only connection you can find then might as well as add Gautama Buddha who wore a similar robe.
Sure the name Takshila is persian rather than sanskrit right ? What is with this wierd obsession to dissasssioate yourself from hinduism ... Its very funny imo ...Many of our "Sufi traditions" have actually nothing to do with Islam and are in fact remnant continuation of our pre-Islamic traditions, practices and religions, which are now guised under Sufism.

I have been studying such practices and you can see clearly how many of them can be traced back to early Vedic and Buddhist times, along with influence from folk religions.

Pakistani Sufi
Gandharan Buddhist
That's statue of Maitreya, a Bodhisattva who will appear in the future. It's not statue of a regular Buddhist.
He needs human translators because google is not suitable for such articles and often its translation is misleading.
Don't tell them here...they will learn.That Is True I Still Remember That Stupid Indian Troll On Twitter Using Google Translate For Free Balochistan It Became "Muft Balochistan" Still Cracks Me Up
