Why would you be proud of turks and mughals? Majority of Pakistani Pashtuns are indigenous to Pakistan, they were first in line to be conquered and converted by various turk invasions from Central asia. Later on they will get employeed by Turks and in some cases rule for some years.
Majority of the people in Punjab, Sindh, KPK and Kashmir who have turkic or persian family names like "chughtai", "mughal", "barlas", "Mir", "Mirza", "Baig", "Khan" etc. are most likely descended from the mixed "Adeena Baig Khan" (originally Deenu Arain) type local families with some admixture with the foreign turkic, persian and middle eastern aristocratic families in local turkic and mughal administrations in the past centuries. I think Adeena Baig Khan (Deenu Arain) phenomenon was not an isolated case, it just got more highlighted because the guy ascended too high in the hierarchy of the things. I don't rule out some turkic, persian or middle eastern blood in them but still they are predominantly collection of past "Adeena Baig Khan" type families.
