As others have pointed out, it's worse in Russia than most places in Europe. As a whole, Eastern Europe is much more xenophobic and non-accepting of immigrants and other foreigners. This is partly because Eastern Europe has much more developing nations and poverty than Western Europe.
Post a link? Just like when I linked the thread where you made a mockery of yourself and made genetics to be some pseudo-science garbage based on who is more Aryan and Dravidian?
Anyways, that's pretty funny. You call this scientific study done by a respected processional geneticist agenda...
Well, I was born in Canada to a Canadian father and American mother so yes I'm American. I've been raised in the U.S. almost all my life though.
They are a small percentage now but I'm sure they used to be the majority before Kashmiris converted to Islam.

I was raised Sikh but I'm agnostic so I don't identify as Sikh. :undecided:
Sorry for changing the topic so drastically anyways. Pretty sure this thread doesn't even belong in current events and social issues.
You could of just asked what I was if you guys were that curious. Yes, I'm a Punjabi American. I don't identify as Indian as I've never been there and have been only raised in Punjabi culture. I was also raised with neutrality toward India or that kind of grew upon me. I rarely mention though...
Not sure. I'm not that aware of Muslim practices in South Asia.

It's possible that they were Buddhist but I'm positive most Kashmiri Muslims descend from Kashmiri Pandits who are/were overwhelmingly Hindu.
So your grandparents immigrated to Punjab from Kashmir and became culturally Punjabi? From what I understand, it's mostly only the old generation in Pakistan Punjab that can speak Punjabi.
Yes, Punjab does mean 5 rivers in Farsi if I'm correct. Anyways, Indian Punjab does have part of the Beas and Satluj flowing through it.

Indian Punjab also has Khatris, Rajputs, Aroras, etc. which I'm sure Pakistan Punjab does as well...
Do you speak Punjabi? Would you resent a Pakistani Punjabi Jatt or even a Indian Punjabi Jatt considering you as a Punjabi brother in some manner? I'm just curious. I understand most Pakistanis consider themselves Pakistani first but I'm still rather curious about it.
Try reading through the sources moron. Have you ever took the time to do this? Besides, the sources for Jatts and Gujjars are again mostly hearsay and theories based on stories that have been past down through text or other sources. Most of the other sources just mention them as castes.
What...
The facts are that there is no ethnic group in the world that is pure. Human beings have been mixing with with one another since we came into existence. What is true is that people can be somewhat closer to one another genetically based on their ethnic group and origin.
Quoting wiki are you? Also, trying spelling origin correctly. Not exactly a difficult word.
What you quoted are useless wiki articles on supposed origins of Jatts and Gujjars which are mostly based on hearsay and legends.
Try looking at this website and see how similar Jatts and other...
This theory is ridiculous and baseless. Pashtuns for the most part are native to South/Southeast Afghanistan and West/Northwest Pakistan.
