I haven't met Pakistanis claiming to be descendants of Arabs apart from specific communities. There are also some communities that claim descent from India. It is not implausible to suggest that modern-day Pakistan saw migration from regions that it neighbors and is in fact proven by history...

This goes against the genetic data we have. There is genetic variation among Pashtuns themselves that is tied closely to geography. For example, Pashtuns that live among Tajiks in the North are genetically shifted towards Tajiks while Pashtuns in KPK are genetically shifted towards other...

The actual Khalistan movement does not claim any Pakistani territory.

That is simply not true, this misconception is an example of Pakistan's failure to own and promote indigenous history and heritage. Jasrath Khokhar, Sultan Shah Langah, Muzaffar Shah, and many others are all prime example of renowned Muslim Punjabi rulers.

No one considers him a hero in Northern or Central Punjab either, it's just only recently that some "Twitter Punjabis" have begun worshipping him.

I know many of them, their group is filled with closet racists and their articles are muddled with misinformation and historical revisionism.

Sapta Sindhava does not translate to "Land of 7 Sindhu rivers" nor does Hapta Hendu translate to "Land of 7 Hind rivers". "Sindhu" means ocean (in this context 'river'), Sindhava is the plural of Sindhu. 'Sapta' is seven. So it literally means "Seven rivers". Neither term was used to denote...

Nationalization is what screwed our economy in the first place, taking over army-owned companies and putting them in the hands of civilians is going to do nothing but ruin them.

You cannot compare the unification of Germany, an ethno-culturally homogenous country that was divided as the result of a global conflict to the nonsense that he stipulates. It wouldn't be a "unification" of any sort, rather a revival of an unnatural and artificial colonial construct: 'British...

This statement would find a lot of controversy here, but what's interesting is that the original founding fathers of Pakistan (Rehmat Ali and PNLM) reiterated the same point.

The idea was fairly popular (in both countries) until quite recently, if I recall correctly, there were once even Government-level talks discussing a federation that was very close to going through. When I see videos of East Afghanistan or Iranian Balochistan, it's hard to comprehend that it's...

Jatt has always been a tribe, it was later that the term began to also mean a social class; Jatt as a social class represent the peasantry, not the landowning class.

This is false, there is no mention of Jatts in Alexandar's biographies.

That poem isn't accredited to Aurangzeb but instead to Saadi Shirazi, you seem to have purposefully omitted the part mentioning Kashmiris as well. In another variant, instead of Afghan and Kamboh, Sindhis and Jatt are mentioned ('Sindhi' at the time was a general term for any inhabitant of the...

Mujib was an actual traitor; he began talks with India for an independent Bangladesh during the 1960's, the conspiracy was detected by the intelligence, but they were ridiculed when the conspiracy was brought to light. The case and evidence files were burned (likely strategically) during riots...

There are plenty, I have been to many countries and have never seen any population with such a high rate of deformities, most people attribute it to "black magic" or "the evil eye", the problem is especially exemplified as consanguinity continues generationally here.

There are over 11x more Muslims in China than in the United States and over 13x more mosques. I'm not sure what your point is.

I'm not sure how being 'Indo-Aryan' (a linguistic category) makes someone "racially Indian", by this logic; both Kalash and Sinhalese (Sri-Lankans) are racially the same as they are both Indo-Aryans.

Mainstream ethnic groups native to Pakistan are genetically close to each other, regardless of geography or linguistic family.

That is not true, Pakistani ethnic groups are genetically close to Indian Punjabis.
