How different a Bengali Muslim is from a Pakistani Muslim?

[Musalman]

I read in PDF that Bengalis are way different from Pakistanis. I wonder how different are Bengalis compared to Pakistanis? Isn't Pakistan itself a multi ethnic country with several different cultures? Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashtun, Baloch, Tribal culture etc.

You tell us, we were of the view that we all are same. You guys do not agree with us!!!!

 

[Salahuddin Ayyubi]

Your own post is self contradictory .You said you dont have any relation with BDis .Agreed they are so far away from Pakistan .But what is the distance between Pakistan and Turkey.?

He's not referring to turkey. He is referring to Central Asia. Turks came from what is today Turkmenistan. Uzbeks and turkmens are both turkic people. Our culture is filled with perso-turkic culture.

That's true, because we look like Indians. ;p

no you are between Indian and Pakistanis

Pakistan is a diverse country . it was part of many ancient empires ( mongol , Turkic ) . we are very mixed people . u can find central Asians , pashtuns ,Punjabis , Baloch , sindhis , kashmiris , people of greek descent and Arabs too . but due to long period and years of intermixing , central Asian turks and arabs have nearly lost their culture and language . but physical traits are somewhat similar even after centuries of mixing with locals .

 

[Divergent]

VERY different. Trust me.

True, Pkiastanis, Indians and Bangladeshis look too different from eachother.

Generally we have 5 6 main phenotypes in South Asia.

1) West Pakistani (KpK, Balochistan)
2) East Pakistani (kashmir,punjab,sindh)
3)North Indian (kashmir to delhi)
4) West Indian (gujarat and souther rajasthan)
5) "North"East Indian (UP, Bihar , North of MP)
6)South Indian (south of vindhya ( maharastra, chattisgadh to tamilnadu))
7) East Indian (Bengal and odisha )


sometimes we find people who are heavily mixed woth other sub race.

For example i was mistaken for Mexican,Pakistani, Brazilian and even Nepali.

Dostance from Ahmedabad to Nepal is morethan 2000 kms. Go figure !

Bangladeshis eat alot of sea food and their biryani is not spicy at all.

Only thing common between pakistanis and bangalis is Islam.

According to my friends who worked in GCC .Pakistani Muslims are tall ,well built and goodlooking .Bangladeshi Muslims are short ,well built , dark and not that good looking .I dont know if these is right.This is my friends opinion.

Their similarity is that they have same religion.

Looks are not a measure of anything, one should only judge people by how they behave, bengalis are our muslim bretherin..

So many people talking about nonsense here.
How on earth Pakistanis are different "Genetically" from other south Asians.
It is scientifically proven that every south Asians share similar ancestry.Bengalis are 85% similar to Pakistanis, the 15% difference is due to east Asian admixture in bengalis.
I agree Pakistanis on average are taller and fairer than rest of South Asia, but they are not a different race, even Afghans share same ancestry with rest of south Asia.
Few days ago my cousin(Bengali) was stopped by a new Pakistani immigrant for some help, The pakistani guy started to talk in urdu, and he thought my cousin was a Pathan, which make sense as my cousin was 6'3, hook nosed,robust and fair skinned, compared to the pakistani guy, who was short and dark.My cousin definitely has some east Asian Dna which the Pakistani guy doesnt have, yet my cousin doesnt have any east Asian feauture.
Stereotyping people based on phenotype is very inappropriate.
The first two people that migrated to south Asia was ANI(Caucasoid) and ASI(Australoid-Caucasoid with some archaic Mongoloid) and mixture of these two ancestral population comprises atleast 70% of modern south Asian genetics, later Pakistanis, North Indian and Bangladeshis got some European related DNA from proto Indo Aryans plus Bengalis got some east Asians from Austroasiatic and Tibeto Burman tribes.South Indian got extra ASI.

Keeping it inside the biradri/caste
Its stricest among Syeds

He looks just like an ordinary brown skin desi

Photographs of that period were "Black and White" , and even the light skinned Desi looked dark-skinned in the Photos. Only very pale people, the British, looked white in the Photos. It was due to the type of lens used in cameras of that period. So its hard to determine skin tone of Bahdur Shah Zafar from Photography of 1860s. Here is another Photograph of Bahadur Shah Zafar and it appears he was light wheatish

Brother I suggest you find 1 of each kind and cut them open to see. InshaAllah you will find out that as stated in the final sermon of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Allah (swt) does not see us any differently other than in piety.

You subject of the thread says in all....I think Pakistan Muslims proud to be only Muslims as their identity...but if i am not wrong, Bengali Muslims like to associate themselves as Bengali and Muslim identity together...I may be wrong too..

Yes you are dead wrong. Most Muslims belive in tahueed and they are Muslim 1st and 2nd something else. But of course secularist would differ.

Dont call them secularist they are bunch of confused losers. Isn't secularist suppose to be anti racist ?

 

[MultaniGuy]

There are huge cultural differences.

Bengalis have more in common culturally with India than with Pakistan.

The only thing common between Pakistan and Bangladesh is religion.

You got to be kidding me right.

Pakistanis are way different from Bangladeshis genetically.

Bengali has more red coding.

But Pathan, Punjabi, Baloch, Sindhi has more blue coding.
