Northern pakistanis linkage to europeans?

Dude, no human being is superior to another. Why are you judging Pakistan on the basis of biased limited coverage of media?

I know people in remote, desolate locations of Pakistan, who are better human beings than any of us!

Media, at least the jingoistic one, is now a passe among the educated lot. In the information age it doesn't take lot of time to research to broaden ones knowledge.

Dude, we are an older culture (the Pashtuns). How can we be linked to Europeans? Maybe some of us migrated West from East, is another story.

What I can say is, several tribes of Pashtuns have a striking resemblance to Israelites, why? I have absolutely NO IDEA!

will pashtuns revert to Judaism if they are proven to be Sons of Israel?

The Islam being preached today in Pakistan can go hide somewhere where it don't shine, however, yes Pakistan does come first. What can I say, it's going to take sometime. Difficult to kill old habits, just like the lovely green.

Yup...its indeed going to take some time ! But with saner people like yourself jumping ship for greener pastures what hope does Pakistan have ?

Why would we? Why would we regress back to an older version of religion?

Yara, I've been trying my best to give something back to Pakistan. Tried to do a pre-feasibilty study for sugar factory / cement factory / specialist farms ---- found out that you need to put in more political capital than real capital-------, then tried a dozen other projects, all studies ended with the same result that it's not possible under the present circumstances.

You fix the ground realities, I'll build upon them!

Older may be better.

Research from where? Wiki? or some biassed articles on the internet?

All the think tanks combined on this forum don't know 1% about Pashtuns, then how would anyone else?

Off topic: I get hundreds of "Shaloms," whenever on holidays. I got tired of saying I'm not Jewish, now I just reply back with a nod and "Shalom".

Lakhaim ! Now pour me some too !

Dude, my Grandpa was on about that too...the Jewish connection ! Even our ancestral tongue is called 'Koshur' !

Not necessarily! Have we, the "Muslim" Pashtuns subjugated a whole nation?

Yara, many many words and customs are eerily similar!

No, you can find numerous scholarly articles on net. It is that people don't make efforts to look for them and fall back on wiki

Pashtuns - Google Scholar

we are semitic by origin so that's why we look like them ,
my bangladeshi and nepali friends also used to say like that we are different from Punjabies ,
although exceptions are there,
but color is some thing secondary importance , we are all Pakistanis that's what the reality

Semitic my foot, that bani theory has been debunked.

My grandfather used to be called James Bond in my village, because he looked like Sean Connery.


Also some of my cousins are fair skinned with colored eyes. If you were to put them with pashtun children there would be no way to tell the difference.

We are punjabi Arains.

I don't know about south India, however, I know of many from Kashmir (settled in N. Delhi). I'm not surprised!

So tacitly u are accepting that the original population of Kashmir was Hindu at some point in history and ATLEAST SOME Hindus belong to the same stock as the Kasmiri Muslim's cause the people who are referring to as,"Settled in Delhi" are the original inhabitants of Kashmir the Kashmiri Pandit's!!BTW watch this video,it might help to ward off your illusion about what India's gene pool has contributed to the world population:

I love reading these threads.The response and counter response by Indians always provide me with a good laugh.

From what I have seen many Indian and South Asian girls, especially Bengali girls are attracted to Pakistani guys.

If Pakistani and Indian guys look the same, then the attraction would be negated.

So there are some physical characteristics which separate the two.

That is why I can easily tell who is Indian and who is Pakistani.
