Racial Map of South Asia

[Logicaldude]

While considering a large geographical area, it is obvious there will be genetic variations.

What I dont understand is, what has that got to do with a modern nation state?????

There are some Wakhi people liviing in China and I remember watching a Chinese documentary about them ,who are those people?

They are a distinct ethnic group named after the Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan. It's that little strip of land in north eastern Afghanistan which separates Pakistan from Tajikistan and forms Afghanistan's border with China. That strip is only 15km in width in certain areas. Their language is also called Wakhi and they follow the Ismaili Shia faith. They are spread across the Wakhan Corridor and the areas adjacent to it, i.e. northern Pakistan, south western Xinjiang and south eastern Tajikistan. Their population is pretty small with around 70,000-100,000 people.

how do you not know about them they are chinese and most of the government official in xingayng province are wakhi..

 

[Ryuzaki]

What about Mongoloid people in India?

 

[Baybars Han]

Wheres the people with Turk lineage and race.

Most Indian's blow smoke up our noses by insisting that from Tamils, to Banglas, to Adivasis Indians to Pashtun Pakistan we are all the same in some vain attempt to create a 'One India' narrative.

RSS, the Hindutva fascist organization pushes OIT to push their narrative - The Hindu unity and Hindutva. They have even got sponsored studies to justify OIT from reputed universities. The forumers from India, most of them are extreme Hindu religious nuts and they are aligned with RSS ideology. So, don't generalize as if we in India does not know racial differences. It is WELL KNOWN by all and racism by Punjabi-Haryanvi-Delhi people towards others exists. The other kind of racism is the High castes spread across the country who sees others as inferiors. This is a open secret and something like "Not to Discuss" thing among Hindus.

Funny how on the map Shimshal looks only a stone's throw away from Askoli yet can take days in reality.

Did not know that. Is it because of some more pro-China stance of the Wakhi as compared to the Uyghurs?

Wheres the people with Turk lineage and race.

The Turkic Pakistanis are mostly spread across the country, like the Mughals and the Uyghurs. A lot more are now mixed in with other ethnicities. The only region where they are present in a more coalesced form is the Hazra region and parts of AJK which have the Karlugh Turks. Apart from that Northern Pakistan also has pockets of people with Turkic descent, like the Qutub Shahis who are descended from Qutub Shah, a general of Mahmud Ghaznavi.

Then we also have some Turkish and part Turkish people who moved to Pakistan for various reasons. Like the Pakistani footballer Atif Bashir who is half Turkish.

 

[Kambojaric]

Wheres the people with Turk lineage and race.

As Krash's post states, in most parts of Pakistan, Turkic people have almost completely integrated into the local populace. It is very normal in places like Lahore to hear surnames like Chugtai, Bukhari or Mirza. The process of Turkic migration into Pakistan however is extremely long, and so certain individuals with these surnames retain very distinct Central Asian features whilst others are indistinguishable (although do note that Pakistanis from practically all ethnicities retain very differing phenotypes). One of Pakistan's most famous Punjabi singers Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is according to some said to have Hazara ancestry. Hazara's are Turko-Mongols living mainly in Central Afghanistan and Western Pakistan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazaras), and looking at some pics of Khan it is obvious that this is the case.

He himself has said in interviews that his ancestors came from Afghanistan so the Hazara theory makes sense. However other individuals with Turkic roots dont have the "Central Asian" look anymore, such as Naeem Bukhari, a leading advocate in Pakistan

____________________________________________

Then you have groups such as the Karlugh Turks who too have integrated amongst the local populace to an extent, but unlike most other Turkic peoples in Pakistan have maintained their distinct identity on a wider scale as "Turks". http://www.milliyet.com.tr/fotogaleri/47165-yasam-himalaya-eteklerinde-turk-koyleri/7

_____________________________________________

Finally you have the previously mentioned Hazaras, who are persianized Turko-Mongols. Descendents of Turkic and Mongol soldiers in Chengiz army. They maintain a very distinct central asian appearance and form large populations in western Pakistani cities like Quetta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazara_Town).

With regards to genetics of different Pakistani ethnic groups, this link should help. (note: The "Pakistani" in this article are Punjabis).

The circles are not to scale. Not even the most massive cities are as large as those red circles.

I am Kho myself and here I am posting photos of Kho people who comprise more than 90% population of Chitral. These are not Kalash but all Muslims. They may be Dardic linguistically but not racially.

hey guys, after visiting almost every Indian state multiple times and Studying Anthropology from very trusted and professional Sources i have created Racial Map of South Asia.

in this map i have divided South Asia in to two different Races. 1) Caucasoid and 2) non Caucasoid aka Dravidian,Munda,Austroloids etc etc.

for better understanding.

West Pakis are Irano Afghans while punjabis,sindhis are Indo-Aryan people.

so Irano Afghans, North Indid and gracile Indid (and some I/B with strong NI and GI Influence) are considered Caucasoid while rest are non Caucasoid along with Aadivais,Munda,Tribals,Austroloids etc etc.
for data of pakistan, my Pakistani friend Imran khan from Islamabad helped me in my Research

so here we go.

Map #1,

This map shows where Caucasoid are Majority. or regions where people with Caucasoid features are Majority.

West Pakistan, East Pakistan, North India are the main homeland of "Aryans" even today.

Map #2,

.

in this detailed map i have marked percentage of people who have Caucasoid features or are part of "Caucasoid" Race.

KPK, Northern Punjab and Kashmirs have largest no of Caucasoid people in whole subcontinent. to me they all look same and have same indenticle culture. maybe because people of those regions have same Ancestors.

Himchalis, Jammuwalas, Ukwalas and Balouchis (Iranic, i know)are also Pale skinned but due Migrations, now Caucasoids are low in number. but they are almost same to former group. Pale to Light brown skin, tall, warlike people.

Southern Punjabis/Multanis, Kutcchis, Northan Rajastanis, Northan Saurastrians and Sindhis also have large no of Caucasoid people because of sea ports and it's ancient heritage of IVC. large no of these people have leventine, Arabic,Persian and Aryan blood in their veins. because of historical events and their's strategic location.

Rest of North India have minimum no of Caucosiod people reging from

40% in Nepal(pahari) Gujarat (above resions but those people live in historic and coastal areas) MP (very important Region of Vedic Aryans and center of Hindu learning in classical Times) to

25% in UP,Bihar (large no of people are Aadivais,Tribals,munda and mixed) Rajasthan and North+South Gujarat (Bhillistan and Tribals)

35% in Maharastra and konkan coast which is home of lighest vedic peole and arabs-persian-ntive mix.(only in port cities and maratha capitals)

jarkhand,and bengal are barely 15% because large no of people are heavily mixed with tribals (even some Brahmins and Rajputs !)

1% to 5% in south India for the people who are carrying Kshatriya Brahmin and muslim linege. i have no seen any full Caucasoid looking person in south india tho.

please share your views.

Edit : Thank you for positive Rating @Kaptaan

This is incredibly pseudo-scientific. I don't even know where to begin.

 

[MaMo]

I wonder what you mean by Irano-Afghan? You do realise that like Persians of Iran, about 75% of Afghanistan is of Aryan race too? And that about 40% of Afghanistan is Persian, too? Technically, most Afghans, at least half of Iranians, and most North-West Pakistanis are Iranic (Aryan) by race.

Some of Iranian ethnics don't even fall into the Aryan race, such as Azeri, Turkmen, etc.

 

[Kuwaiti Girl]

Oh my God, there's no such thing as an "Aryan" race or an "Indo-Aryan" race or any other race for that matter.

Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Arabid are all pseudo-scientific terms that are no longer accepted in the modern realms of science. They're probably only used in forensics these days.

Indo-Aryan is a linguistic classification, not a genetic classification.

This entire thread is pseudo-scientific from top to bottom.

My Reserch :

and Map of Light skinned/Caucasoid people in South Asia by anthropologists. :

@WebMaster @Horus @waz @Kaptaan @save_ghenda and @DESERT FIGHTER
@Joe Shearer @Water Car Engineer @others...

please, this is not an AIT Thread, AMT is well known fact and large no of Greeks ,Kushan ,Muslims ,Persians ,Turkik,Huns, Sakas are also non Aryan groups who migrated to South Asia in Ancient times.

in my studies i notied to things.

1) Pakistan is majority of Caucasoid Nation (Iranic and Indic) and we can say that its an Homogeneous nation.(Genetically) while India is Mixed nation where people of Upper castes and Middle castes have Preserved blood of Vedic Indo-Aryans and Scythins+(Huns).

FYI,according to some studies, Punjab region have 3% to 15% Greek Blood !

2) people of North west Subcontinent are homeland of Caucasoid south Asians (Map #1) whiel in other regions only upper caste peole have genetic similarity with North West South Asians.

I don't agree with this skin map. Punjabis and even people from Delhi have the same skin tone as people from Chitral or Badakshan or Nuristan.

Is this a joke?
