Pakistani Punjabis and Indian Punjabis are of the same race/ethnicity.
If that's the case, then why is it that:
1. Seraikis, Pothwaris and Hindkowans are practically non-existent among Indian Punjabis?
2. Why are there almost no Indian Punjabis of Kashmiri, Pashtun or Baloch heritage?
3. Why are Pakistani Punjabi tribes like Awans, Arains, Qureshis, Syeds, Ansaris, Barras, Mughals, etc not common among Indian Punjabis?
Even beyond that, there are numerous differences between Pakistani Punjabis and Indian Punjabis. For example, Pakistani Punjabis write in Shahmukhi, which Indian Punjabis can't even read, let alone use.
Pakistani Punjabis and Indian Punjabis are not the same, and if you think so, go live in Indian Punjab and see for yourself just how different they are.
In fact, Pakistanis from the South of Indus are closer to North Indians (racially, ethnically and linguistically) compared to Pakhtuns and Balochs.

Then why are you so obsessed with Pakistanis and Indians? Seems pretty odd, the Western members here tend to focus on their own matters primarily. Are you starting to see why we don't believe you>
But then you folks live with Indians
No we don't, we're in two different countries.
you folks speak like Indians
Because we ruled over them for so long that they decided to rip off our beautiful Mughlai language (Urdu) and create a defective version of it (Hindi).
you folks dress like Indians
LMAO no we don't, I'm yet to see an Indian who isn't Muslim that wears a headscarf, a skull cap, the same type of shalwar kameez as us, and I'm yet to see a Pakistani who wears bindi or a sari (except for the Muhajirs, I know they dress more like Indians but they're a minority, just like Muslim Indians).
you folks even have common dance and songs
No, it's just that a lot of Pakistanis tend to consume Indian media, and a lot of Indians tend to consume Pakistani media. The actual dances and songs that we both view as part of our culture is very minimal, the only exception is Punjabi music and dances.
you folks flock to common movies
That literally means nothing.
you folks even intermarry as well
The overwhelming majority of Muslims would NEVER marry a Hindu lol. To give you some perspective on how low on the list they are, many of us would rather marry an Israeli over them.
and heck about 70-80 years back you folks used to live together with Indians
Only Punjabis, Kashmiris and Muhajirs. Punjabis+Kashmiris make up less than 5% of India, and Muhajirs make up about 7% of Pakistan.
Heck your own leader was born somewhere in India, I guess?
You guess wrong, Imran Khan's family are of Pashtun heritage, so they have more in common with Afghanistan than India.
Fact is that no matter what we do, we can not change the fact that we are not middle eastern.
