Alright, as you have mentioned that you are interested in learning history, for starers, please read history written by your own ancestors before making such claims.
It was the power of the Gurjara-Pratihara army that effectively barred the progress of the Muslims beyond the confines of Sindh, their first conquest for nearly three hundred years.
After establishing themselves in Sindh, the Arabs had come face to face with the Gurjara-Pratihara empire, and eventually they invaded the
Gurjara-Desh (territories of the
Gujjars). This resulted in the famous
battle of Rajasthan, where the Gujjars so conclusively defeated the Arabs that the Arabs even lost some of their previous territories in Sindh. The famous Arab traveler and geographer Sulaiman wrote in 815 A.D. about the
Gujjar king Raja Bhoj:
"This king maintains numerous forces, and no other Indian prince has so fine a cavalry (horsemen warriors). He is unfriendly to the Arabs, still he acknowledges that the king of the Arabs is the greatest of kings. Among the princes of India there is no greater foe of the Muhammadan faith than he. His territories form a tongue of land. He has got riches, and his camels and horses are numerous. Exchange are carried on in his states with silver (and gold) in dust, and there are said to be mines' (of these metals) in the country. There is no country in India more safe from robbers."
Al-Masudi visited India in the year 915-16 A.D. He refers to the great power and resources of the Pratihar king of Kanauj, and the wide extent of his kingdom, which touched Rashtrakuta kingdom in the South and the Muslim Principality of Multan in the west with both of whom the king was at war.
He was rich in horses and camels and maintained four armies in four directions each numbering 7,00,000 or 9,00,000 men.
As for "Donkeys", The Holy Qur'an states:
And [He created] the horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride and [as] adornment. And He creates that which you do not know. [16:8]
It has also been mentioned in
Sahih Hadith that the Arabs used to eat donkey meat before it was banned after the war of Khyber...
So, next time before trying to make fun of others for riding donkeys (even when they or their ancestors never did so), please do keep in mind that your own ancestors, besides eating Donkey meat, used them to "show off" (ornament/adornment). Thank You
Yes, you are right. What is "Southern Punjab" today has been mentioned as "Sauvira" in
Mahabharta. Historically, Multan was not a part of Punjab. It was ruled by the Brahmins of Sindh when Arabs conquered it.
Well, Monkey D Luffy calling others "racist" ??? Yah din bhi anay that PDF pe
Arabs conquered a part of Punjab and much of Pakistan (most in fact). As for whether all of Punjab or not, this is irrelevant to my initial statement. Nor am I frankly interested what occurred 1400 years ago.
Allah (swt) created all animals as an adornment as all are his creation. What the hell has that to do with consumption of donkey meat? No such thing occurred. The hadith is a weak hadith besides there is no such example in historical sources which is the most important thing. Nor during the Islamic era. A weak attempt.
Not an expert when it comes to donkeys (as I told you I am yet to see a single one in KSA) but I would be surprised if they did not exist in Pakistan.
According to this link there are Hindu gods which are donkeys. So this points to donkeys having existed in South Asia for a long time.

Actually you can claim United Kingdom, Bulgaria, Denmark, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Spain and Portugal, Romania, Puerto Rico, North Caucasus, Sardinia and Tuscany(Italy) as your proud "Arabian" heritage too cause they all have "Arabian" blood in their veins like people of Iran.
You did not understand the context of that discussion.
BTW please tell me where KSA and Arabia is located if not in the heart of Southwest Asia? In fact I would claim that most of Southwest Asia is Arabia/Arabian Peninsula and immediate neighboring regions of the Near East (most of Levant and most of modern-day Iraq).
BTW that is no surprise as most Y-haplogroups originate in Arabia and Arabia is the second longest inhabited place by modern humans in the earth after East Africa.
Not only that the Neolithic migrations from the Near East (Arabia, Sham and Mesopotamia) during the Neolithic age to Europe (Southern Europe mainly and Balkans) were substantial and undoubtedly left a genetic marker which your maps show.
Recently Neolithic skeletons of the Natufian culture (first sedentary culture in the world)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natufian_culture
were proven to cluster most closely with modern-day Saudi Arabian populations along with Jordanian ones and other Near Eastern Arab populations (surprise!).
"Speaking about Neolithic peoples, Saudi Arabians show the greatest genetic affinity to Neolithic mummies.
Recently a DNA study proved that modern-day Saudi Arabians, Palestinians, Jordanians and Egyptians have the largest ancestral claim on the Neolithic civilizations that first appeared in Southern Levant.
The
Epipaleolithic Natufian culture /nəˈtuːfiən/[1] existed from around 12,500 to 9,500 BC in the
Levant, a region in the
Eastern Mediterranean. It was unusual in that it supported a
sedentary or semi-sedentary population even before the introduction of
agriculture. The Natufian communities may be the ancestors of the builders of the first
Neolithic settlements of the region, which may have been the earliest in the world.[
citation needed] Natufians founded
Jericho which may be the oldest city in the world. Some evidence suggests deliberate cultivation of
cereals, specifically
rye, by the Natufian culture, at
Tell Abu Hureyra, the site of earliest evidence of agriculture in the world.
[2] Generally, though, Natufians exploited wild cereals. Animals hunted included
gazelles.
[3] According to
Christy G. Turner II, there is archaeological and physical anthropological evidence for a relationship between the modern
Semitic-speaking populations of the
Levant and the Natufians.
[4]
Dorothy Garrod coined the term Natufian based on her excavations at
Shuqba cave in Wadi an-Natuf, in the western
Judean Mountains.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natufian_culture
A culture that existed from 12.5000 BC to 9.500 BC
whose people are known to have built the first Neolithic settlements on the planet as well as made the first attempts at agriculture, organized included. It was also arguably the first sedentary culture of this size in the world as well.
Here are the DNA results from this year (2016)
https://plot.ly/~PortalAntropologiczny9cfa/1.embed?share_key=za9Lb3y1UX6nJRG9v4EXOL
Here is the entire report:
http://biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2016/06/16/059311.full.pdf
It's quite cool that Saudi Arabians (
in particular as they scored the highest percentage, one sample 60.38%!), Palestinians, Jordanians, "Israeli" Bedouins and Egyptians (afterwards other Arabs in the Near East and other MENA people) show the strongest genetic affinity to the ancient Natufian culture (12.500 BC - 9.500 BC) that was not only the first settled Neolithic civilization/community in the world but the first culture and people who introduced farming and built the first known settlements! More so knowing that the Natufians did not hail from the outside whether nearby Europe or Africa! They were indigenous."
Anyway I understand that you won't understand this above but blame it on the DNA that you brought up in your post.
I don't need to claim anything. The initial discussion was about National Geographic's chart and how Tunisia's data was wrong and I proved that already using several sources. You think that I care? I only mentioned Europe because of how many of your fellow countrymen keep blabbering about the non-existent "Aryan" nonsense and how close you are to Europeans genetically which is not the case compared to some "non-Aryan" populations in the region (Arabs as a whole and Turks, let alone the ones that cluster the most = Caucasian populations). That's all. Arabs are not into this Aryan nonsense if you have not noticed. That's more an "Iranian expertise" in the region at least. You know it, I know it and everyone that knows anything about this topic knows it. End of discussion for my part on this topic which is totally off-topic.
She looks like froggy of Sham Idrees Vlogs. And somewhat like Mommy Mo of Mo Vlogs.
He was being sarcastic.
Of course. BTW this was never about who is "better looking" or not. I can find 10 more beautiful UAE officials (women) alone that this 22 year old UAE minister.
