Is Afghani culture same as Pakistani culture?

[ziaulislam]

Yes. Its same as Afgani and Central Asian.

PS: Otherwise, their culture will become Indian which gives *** itching to many Pakistanis here in the name of relating their cuture to India.

Just expressed a fact.

actually no.
afghan culture is greatly influenced by tajaks and uzbeks but in pakistan pushtoon cultture is influenced by punjabi and kashmiris.
so in a sense there is huge difference

regarding the dress, the FATA tribal areas dress does matches pushtoon afghanis but the rest of pushtoon dress in plains is completely different, similar to other pakistanis

it would be difficult initially for pakistani pushtoons to understand afgahni Pushtu unless he lives in cities and has interactions with refugees. for example my villagers didnt understood pushto of some FATA tribes even though they were native pushto speaking they just understood 10-20%

so tribal areas tribes have very much in common with afgani pushtoons because some of them belong to same tribe but thats dfferent for majority of pushtoons as they live now in plains of peshawar, mardan, swabi and karachi

then again Afghanistan also consists of some only 40% pushtoons (37-40 % uzbek /tajik ) which is about 12 million only(out of 28-30 million population).

Can not they pass off as Pakistani by their looks and attire?

Slowly but surely, the idea of "The land of the Pure" will sread and Pure from all over the world will migrate towards it,s center...but before that, the change will start from center and then, only then, and surely then, when the Qaid,s idea of Pure will be completly understood, the borders of the "The land of Pure" will greatly expand from it,s current one,s and a Nation will Rise to write a new History. Then there will be no ethenicity, but people will be judged from their superior character,Behaviour and Knowledge.......I hope i will live long enough to see that day....

You guys are pathetic The whole world has moved on from colourism and these poor countries are so obsessed with it. In Brazil, people try to become brown and here they argue about who is the whitest . Wonders never cease. Grow up and talk about how to improve your pathetic countries rather than be preoccupied with skin colour.

People talking and categorizing on basis of skin color is bad, but you have gone much beyond that. In one clean sweep you have categorised India, Pakistan and Afghanistan as pathetic. Shame on you.
I say you should be named as black heart rather than blackface.

 

[blackface]

Exactly, there is no difference.

I looked at them. They look the same to me

Pakistan

India

Thanks for backing up my point.

 

[qamar1990]

Afghani people and Pakistani people look the same. Mostly pale white with similar features. The dresses are also same it seems to me. Is Afghani culture same as that of Pakistan?

same culture as our pathans and perhaps balochis but the rest of pakistan is more like india.
kashmir, sindh and punjab.

WOuld you rather I mask the truth by using more polite words? Even if two Brazilians were arguing about skin colour in this weird way, I would tell them to shut the f up and think about better things like how to improve Brazil. THe point is that the topic of conversation is ridiculous ,

Pakistani culture is most definitely not the same thing as Indian culture. It's largely Indic and similar, yes, but not Indian.

Pakistani culture - which basically means Pakistani Punjabi and Sindhi is largely Indian. There are few differences.

I looked at them. They look the same to me

They look the same to everyone in the world except Pakistani's
Any North Indian can pass off as a Pakistani and any Pakistani can pass off as a North Indian.

Pakistani's though in their insecurity need to show themselves as 'different from India'

I'm not sure about Punjabis but anyone can notice how Pakistani Sindhis that immigrated to India have seamlessly integrated into Indian culture without any effort due to the cultural similarity.

Pakistan Punjab and Sindh have a majorly Indian culture. There are no two ways about this.

We are ethnically Indians . What is your point ?

 

[nangyale]

The reality is that there is no one Indian culture either.
People of Northern India are different from Southern, which are different from Eastern, and then you have the North-Easterns. All very different from the other.
So if you want to compare Pakistanis with Indian, then yes the two Punjabs will be quite similar.
But the rest will be different.
The same way Pakhtons are the same from both sides of Durand line.
An Uzbek or Hazara is a different story though.

I would you rather not speak about the countries but about the idiots who were saying those things.
Don't generalize, every country, every nation, every continent and yes ofcourse every forum has its own idiots.
It doesn't make any country pathetic.

No point. Some Pakistani's take absurd amounts of pains in trying to wish it away.

The reality is that there is no one Indian culture either.

Yes. And North Indian culture is Indian culture, South Indian culture is Indian culture, East Indian and North East India is also Indian culture. All of them are vast swathes of land, not small areas.

Pakstani culture is essentially Punjabi and Sindhi culture simply because of the fact that Punjab is the center of gravity in Pakistan and its culture. Sindh is the center of economics.

And both these States have common culture with North India. Which is why I said that it is Indian culture.

The same way Pakhtons are the same from both sides of Durand line.
An Uzbek or Hazara is a different story though.

True.

o bhai that is whati said mujhy isse koi fark nh parta . BTW wesy konsa mera baaap fair and lovely company ka malik hai kelog mujhy kaheen ketu kl hai hhahahha

to OP of thread

Pakistan is a big country and have many cultures and languages peoples how on earth they can be mix in one word like afghani man ? we have multi culture histories and languages foods also we are not a small peace of land you are talking abut 180mn people here look at the map and educate yourself

only our pushto speakers have relations with Afghanistan ok

There are a few mistakes in the map though. For example Dera Ismail Khan, Kohat, and Mianwali. Also, the extent of Pothwari.

No, Indians are ethnically Pakistani.
