United States is New World, made by mostly Northern European settlers/colonizers while India is Old World. You cannot compare the two.

There were no British landlords in the region of Pakistan nor were servants taken for British families, 'coolies' usually tended to be from South India or Bengal (their descendants are present among the Indo-Carribean community). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolie Locals were recruited into...

One thing I've noticed in Bollywood, that there'd be 3-4 Punjabi songs in almost every movie while there not being any other song from a regional language. I was very surprised when I found out that Punjabis form only 2% of India, given how they were represented in Bollywood.

Amitabh Bachan is apparently half-Punjabi as well.

Watch from 19:20 onwards

They should play this song before screening of Bollywood movies in their cinemas ;)

What alternate reality? Facts are facts. Most of this wealth was in hand of few Mughals or Nawabs.

:lol: lol good thing they have given good representation to every Pakistani province

Shahrukh Khan and Dilip Kumar (born Yusuf Khan) are Hinkowans rather than Pashtuns British did not start any divide, had the British not invaded there would some ten different countries in place of India right now, that would be a proper 'divide'. Large scale slavery happened only in Bengal and...

What do you define as 'North India' anyway? Most of North India is UP-Bihar or Ganges Plains. None of this was started by the British, they would actually prevent racial violence so as to maintain order and control, and 'India-Pak' issue most definitely wasn't. The British united the regions of...

This is interesting. Do you have a source for this?

Sindhis like Ranveer Singh and Tammanah Bhatia likely have origin in Sindh, Pakistan as well.

Good number of them are Khatri, being associated with trading and business. In places like Chiniot and elsewhere, they use both the title of Sheikh as well as their Khatri clan name like Sethi, Vohra, Puri etc. Some even have the surname Khatri as well.

They are the Jews of Bollywood - they control all of it :P I think Bollywood need to start recruiting more mainland Indian actors from UP-Bihar, Bengal, Maharashtra and South India - the major population centres of India, rather than filling it up with few minority North-Western ones. It just...

Khatris are exclusive to Punjab only.

That is a separate topic (but your inference doesn't make sense here). The paper that you quoted also said that the majority of European's ancestry came from Neolithic Anatolian Farmers, now does this mean they owe their civilisations to modern Anatolians/Turks? Of course not. Same is the case...

Sometime in the 7th century, the King of Nimruz of Fars province in Iran gathered a large force to invade Sindh but it was intercepted by Sahiras II at Kerman. However, Sahiras fell in the battle with the King of Nimruz being forced to retreat as well. He was succeeded by his son, Sahasi II who...

Assuming humans came out of Africa, does this mean we owe everything to modern Africans? It doesn't work like this. And there's a difference between the Neolithic people and modern people of the region, the two aren't necessarily the same.
