India and Pakistan need to reunite like Germany and Vietnam: Markandey Katju

Moghul who ruled india for centuries were from where?
Uzbekistan.
BTW I hope you realize that there was no India and Pakistan back then, and the entire subcontinent was called India. Hence, most of the parts of "India" that was ruled by Muslims for 1000 years were modern-day Pakistan. Muslim rule in modern India was mostly limited to northern and Western India, and that two for at most five centuries. But surely someone as intellectual as yourself would know that. @Indus Pakistan

no its not true roughly 18-20 Percent of Pakistan is ethnically Pashtun, not counting people who dont speak Pashtu anymore or Muhajirs who claim ancestry but not speak language . But all native Pakistani groups drive lot of their ancestry from same ancient sources(Swat ,BMAC) but it is also true for Indians who are similar to Pakistanis(jatts, khatris, gujjers and other North West Indians)

The kindest description of the melange above is 'wishful thinking'.

Census in Pakistan works along linguistic lines , it is not the most accurate way to calculate ethnicity but it is easiest and simplest.
There are many Pashtuns, Balochs and Kashmiris that are counted as Seraiki and Punjabis because they settled in Punjab and adopted Punjabi/Seraiki as language. Similarly there are Sindhis in Balochistan that speak Balochi now. There are lot of elite Indian Muslims migrated to Pakistan on partition and claim exotic/foreign ancestries but they all counted as Urdu speaker and make roughly 7% of Population. Simalarly Hindkos are mixture of Pashtuns and Punjabis who speak a new language now.

That was really informative.

Thank you.

Cheers, Doc

I don't care....its their country, their issues (mentally etc) :D...I see all I need to proof wise on the street videos of actual regular Pakistanis.
some street videos from Pakistan , a good way to search street interviews is that type "city" and than type "elections 2018 survey", you can get lot of videos of street surveys. Here are some videos from Pakistan as you can see Pakistan is very diverse and you can find every type of people.

Yes Pakistan is indeed a very diverse and beautiful set of people and places.

It was not me but your guy who i quoted said that "Almost all Pakistani have Pathan blood in them". Yes I agree we are the son of the soil and have similarities with our Northern brothers but it is your people who deny it and hate anything Non-Muslim.

Genetics research has shown , South Asians drive lot of their caucasoid ancestry from ancient Swat , here are videos from swat

Fascinating... will check out when I have time. But It is pretty fair to say that there is a strong overlap between the Western part of India and Punjab and Sindh, just like there is an overlap between KP and Afghanistan and Balochistan and Iran, as well as Eastern India and Bangladesh. Just like in the EU, borders tend to be very fluid in South Asia in terms of culture and ethnicity.

I can send you the whole post on private e-mail. It was by one of the finest members of a small group of Indians and Pakistanis.

I'll have to ask the mods to open a PM and I can send an email address there.

It's a shame that Aryans turned to a Semitic faith and forgot about their ancestry. Punjabis and Sindhis are as much Indic as Tamils and Nagas.

Before "we look different" comments are thrown at me, plz look at faces of people who come on media and cricket players.

No thanks. We don't want your caste system. I want nothing to do with Tamils, Nagas or wannabe aryans or persians from Republic of India.

Done.

C'mon. Aren't you tired of that ancestors argument? If we go back far enough, our ancestors were wearing nothing but grass, and dancing around a fire singing kumbaya. Shall we do this too to honour our ancestors?
