Afghanistan = land of invaders descendants ( Greeks , Turks, Mongols ect )

[ManUNITEDglory]

The majority of Afghanistan are descendants of invaders. I wonder why so many invaders choosed to stay in Afghanistan? does this prove Afghanistan was a strategically advantageous location?

Brahui are dravidians descendants of Central Indians from 1000 AD

What a bullcrap-thread. Afghanistan consists mostly of Iranian-speaking people, who can trace their origins back to Eastern Iranian tribes who invaded the place 4000 years ago.

There are Arab languages, many Turkic language families, even Hazara is Persian language with Mongolian influence. Tajik language are also very different to Afghanistan.

There's also dravidian languages in Afghanistan, no suprised since there was Indian empire conquered parts of Afghanistan.

The two biggest languages (Dari-Persian and Pashtun) are Iranian languages. The rest is insignificant.

Nuristanis are an Iranian-speaking people as well. And the guy in that picture isn't Nuristani (nor Afghan).

Just found it on google images. Anyway many believed kalash people to be decendents of greeks which turned out false. Blond hair, blue eyes isnt trait of Greeks.

Thats recent north european thing to portray every greek as blond and blue eyed. Actual Greeks find it offensive because vast majority of them are not like that apart from few exceptions. Greeks didnt look like noth europeans ever, they always considered them inferior and barbarians.

In today world everyone want to have North Euro Ancestry but things were not the same 300-400 years ago.

Blond/reddish hair in (Central) Asia doesn't come from the Greeks, indeed, as Herodotus and other historians were already mentioning these features among various Iranian tribes like the Scythians.

Gypsies domari of Afghanistan are possibly one of the first descendants of Gypsies out of India and later migrated out to central asia, middle east and finally to europe

History of the Roma

It was by the Ghazvanid empire

An alternative view is that the ancestors of the Romani were part of the military in Northern India. When there were invasions by Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi and these soldiers were defeated, they were moved west with their families into the Byzantine Empire between AD 1000 and 1030.[8] Genetic evidence connects the Romani people and the Jat people, the descendants of groups which emigrated from South Asia towards Central Asia during the medieval period.[9] There are serological[10] similarities shared with several populations that linked the two people in a 1992 study.[11][12]
