RAW managed to pull an anti China stunt in Dhaka. Modi media catches.

You are no one to judge what’s false and what’s not.

Neither are you.

If I say Pakistanis are related to Afghans, Iran, Arabs, and Turkey.

You can get lost.

You cannot use your religion to put down other Muslims and deny their identity.
 
. . .
You are just cherry picking pictures to prove your point.

It illustrates the differences. You can search on your own. Actors, politicians, students, rallies, soldiers. We are racially different.

My basic point is that we Pakistanis have commonality with Afghanistan (and lesser extent Iran, Arabs, Turks) more than Indians.

I understand that is what you are trying to say, and of course, you are entitled to your opinion.

I just don't agree fully with it.

Who exactly have I put down by using my religion?

Again you make a spurious assertion.

You make statements.

Back them up.

Ofcourse he is.

Pakistanis come in all colors. And Pan Islamic and Pakistan Forever's kind of attitude casually delegitimizes dark Pakistanis (not tagging them cos I don't wanna get into a fricking debate with them). We have Afro descent Makranis in the southern Balochistan coast. They hardly make up 2% of Pakistan's population but they're as much representative of Pakistanis as anyone else.

We should all appreciate our differences, rather than dislike those differences

Exactly brother.

My Chachi is Pakistani, but in fact, my chacha being a Bengali has a fairer complexion than her. I have seen the same for my friends here. A lot of them look just like us Bengalis in terms of skin complexion, and then there are others who look more like Central Asians. Pakistanis do come in all colors.

But some people here want to feel superior by claiming a separate "Pakistani Race", and then talk about Islam and question others' Imaan. They are too blind to spot their own hypocrisy, unfortunately.

Apparently evolution has sped up post 1947 in that part of the world leading to a new race.

Let me share some maps.

As can be seen, Afghanistan and Pakistan were usually one country throughout history.

@PAKISTANFOREVER

I would tag my Afghan brothers, but unfortunately some people are very intolerant in this subgroup so I won't.

These don't look racially different. Maybe they are poor and cannot afford the skin lightening creams and hair dyes.

They don't look like typical Lahoris. Yes poor origin, maybe Christians, Gypsies, or others.

No one mentioned complexion but you.

Dark skin Pakistanis look different than Indians and BDs also.

I understand that is what you are trying to say, and of course, you are entitled to your opinion.

I just don't agree fully with it.

You are Indian, so naturally your point of reference is different.

Same goes for BDs. They don't know much about Pakistan.

We should all appreciate our differences, rather than dislike those differences

As usual, some members extrapolate their own insecurities by attributing them to others.

There is nothing wrong with being dark skinned, it is just not normative for Pakistanis to have dark skin.

I mean there are dark skinned Iranians and Afghan also, but they are not the norm. Same for us.

I am not the one here posting pictures of people to differentiate and establish a new race.

Check my maps, that can teach you more about Pakistan than I can.

You are just cherry picking pictures to prove your point.

Actually the guys in that picture are medium toned for Pakistanis and represent Pakistanis well.

I would call them olive-skinned.
