Attock/Ghorgushti but have family in Islamabad, Abottabad and of course UK.

Interesting.

I know the people of Attock are (as you said earlier) very martial, and that the region was of high strategic importance in historic times.

So, I take it you are a Pashtun, correct?

Punjab is a geographical and linguistic designation, so history of 'Punjabis' is kind of arbitrary.

Chor na kyon pareshan karta hai bachon ko

No.

Its a linguistic Group, right?

Asalamu Alaikum

We are all genetically pretty similar (especially through our maternal side), have a similar culture, speak the same language, have the same values, and have always just been generally similar.

I wouldn't call it arbitrary, rather, I'd say there are many sub-groups that fall under the Punjabi identity.

"The Punjabis (Punjabi: پنجابی‬, ਪੰਜਾਬੀ), or Punjabi people, are an ethnic group"

How long will this ethnic claims go on.

Till they convince each other that they are all humans and Pakistanis first.

Nothing wrong with taking a little bit of pride in the history of your ethnic group, so long as it does not make one arrogant.

You heard wrong. VERY wrong.

Molvis won't mind so long as you are still Muslim first and don't use the "n" word (nationalism).
