Chimpanzees from Africa!? Racist!
Yeah, the knowledge of our ancestors won't change the various problems our people face today. I wasn't talking about nationalism in my previous post, but the origins of the Indo-Iranian people as a whole. When I speak of nationalism, I am not referring to nationalism among our modern day ethnic groups. I know how these ethnicities evolved & when I refer to nationalism, I mean the common Indo-Iranian heritage that exists among all of our ethnicities if not in the form of blood, then in the form of language & culture. Terms like Pasthun, Baloch, et cetera refers to modern day ethnicities, but in the past they were nothing more than a bunch of united Indo-Iranian tribes that later evolved. Their languages were similar in the past as well. Combine that with the geographical basis of various civilizations in our region & it becomes obvious that Pakistani people have multitudes of reasons to remain united. All of us share a past going back thousands of years, & our religious heritage is obviously important too.
By the way, where did this idea of Jesus in Kashmir come from? This story has no basis in the Quran, or even in the Old & New Testaments.
It's not just about race or language sister, even though that plays a role as well.
Kashmir is our business because both Pakistan & India have claims over its territory. The fact that the Kashmiris have ethnic, & religious (Islamic) ties to Pakistanis just increases support for them. Even you share the Indo-Iranian heritage with Kashmiris. Whether your roots are Iranian (Persian?) or Punjabi (?), both groups are our ancient cousins. A few thousand years back our ancestors probably built their chariots together.
Strong blood ties is what makes a mother love her children, it's the same reason step mothers are portrayed as being unloving (weaker or absent blood bonds). Humans naturally feel closer to those that resemble them, that's just how the human mind works in general. Whatever happens in countries or regions neighboring us has a strong possibility of affecting our own nation, & that makes it important for us to remain alert & defend ourselves. As for helping humanity, if Pakistanis want to do that then they shouldn't cherry pick who they desire to help on the basis of religion either because it's discriminatory & inhumane. There are many people out there in all parts of the world that could do with humanitarian assistance.
