Most Pakistanis are a mix of foreign invaders + locals. Yes, Indian Punjabis have been losing a lot of their similarities with us, but honestly, a lot of them do still look like us when they take off their turbans and put on the same clothes.

No, in terms of race Afghan Pashtuns+Baloch+Indics and Indian Punjabis+Kashmiris are far more similar to us.

No matter what you say, they'll always prefer Pakistan simply because of the fact that we're Muslim and share most of the same ethnic groups (Pashtuns, Baloch, Hazaras, Landhas, Dardics and Gujjars). Remember, we're the one they come to as refugees. Not you.

I hate the recent surge of ethno-nationalism, and find it's adherents to be irritating as well as ignorant of their own history as well as that of their neighbours. I also don't like the people who feel the need to keep cussing the Sahabah (Allah be pleased with them), and the Iranians who seem...

I thought you said I was an Arab wannabe? Now you're calling me Afghan? Make up your mind. And I don't wth you're talking about. PakSarzameen is a pretty common username you know. Dude, I'm not @Marwat Khan Lodhi . My family is mixed, I can't be racist lol.

Not very few, a significant portion. Most Pakistanis either look Middle Eastern, European, have their own unique phenotype (which is shared with some Indian Punjabis+Kashmiris), or look like Indians (mostly Muhajirs+Sindhis but some Punjabis also fall into this category). Almost all Pakistanis...

Only on this issue, and maybe a couple of others. The government knows (well, should know) how to run a country, but when they try to speak about religion it makes me cringe. They need to get scholars on board rather than making up their own rules. Don't tempt me. I never said that, don't...

That's what I meant. I should have clarified that I wasn't trying to include Hazaras and other non-Pashtun groups.

Because it's factually correct.

Because it's an annual festival. No, I'm going to keep playing that harp until people like you get it through their heads that many modern inventions wouldn't exist without Muslims. They should, celebrating is a slap on the face of all of our ancestors who actively fought against the Sikh...

When did being "desi" ever enter the conversation? @Wa Muhammada mentioned Parsis along with Hindus because both of you are lumped in the same basket of belonging to old, superstitious religions (and you agree with this classification). Parsis have married non-Parsis from the region, hence why...

Like it or not you're linked. Just like Hinduism, your religion is also associated with ancient superstitions. And no matter how much you claim otherwise, you're just as desi as any Indian.

:D You are my favourite member please don't ever leave this forum.

That has no bearing upon what I said in any way I can imagine. I'm sure that he is, but he needs to choose his words more carefully.

You do not ask someone where their pre-pubescent child lives. That's creepy, end of story. I'm not accusing him of gross intentions or anything like that, but the individual needs to choose their words more carefully.

Shhhhh they don't understand common sense.

Salamu Alaykum I know, but I'm saying it would have been easier for them to get along due to the fact that so many Afghans are Persian.

Ethno-nationalists are complete idiots, go and ask a religious Muslim from any of those countries and he will affirm my position. In fact, I'll tag one right now @Hakikat ve Hikmet You're creating one by celebrating a festival made by Ranjit Singh, the butcherer of Muslim Punjabis. No, it's...

I'm not going to force people to not celebrate Basant, but I can and will express my discomfort with such a procedure taking place.

And for a Muslim, religion comes first. If this is not the case, he doesn't understand La Illaha Il Allah. The group of people we belong to is the Muslims.
