Thts why I call you Indians ignorant .. Punjab has a population of 7? Crore but it's not the number of actual punjabis but overall population .. There is no census of ethnicity.. Apart from tht look at this thread of ex . @Imran Khan he is a serieki (u Dnt even know what tht is) but by ethnicity he is a Baluch whose ancestors migrated to Waseb region .. Than you have the truck load of Pakhtun immigrants like Khakwanis,Barbars,Sadozais,Badozais,Kukikhels,Jadoons etc etc etc .. Than Baluch tribes like Khetran,Rind.Mazaris,Lasharis,Lagharis,Buzdars etc etc tetc .. All these people migrated centuries ago from neighbouring provinces.. Punjab borders KPK,Sindh,Baluchistan,Kashmir .. Apart from tht we have outsiders like Gillanis @Ghareeb_Da_Baal ,Chagtais,Qazalbash,Awan (nawab of kalabagh is also Aman(descent from Hazrat Abbas RA), than we have araiens,Khatars etc etc all .. They make a huge population of Punjab .. And none ethnically are punjabis or of indo aryan origin !!!!!
I can count a billion more tribes who exist in Punjab .. Speak punjabi,serieki or their native language or both..
So tell me what should be the definition of "Punjabi" wrt Pakistani Punjab?
I don't know many of tribes you mentioned. But arains, Khokhar are thousands of years old. They didnt migrare like pathan, baloch or Kashmiris in last 4-5 centuries.
Saduzai are not actually pashtuns but Potohari/punjabi of warrior brahmins origin or kashtriyas. going by your post hardly anyone is local in Punjab.
