I also feel sorry for this guy but innocence has its limits, at some point it changes into stupidity.I like Tahir Shah, and I don't mind his songs. He is an innocent person and I like him for that. Someone who does what he likes irrespective what others have to say.![]()

Indeed.
First of all the classification of "Dardic" is very lazy and ignorant, to be honest. It basically groups together most of the different ethnicities living in the north-western Indian subcontinent; from Kashmiris to Kho, from the Kohistanis to the Ladakhis.....I mean c'mon! Anyone who knows anything about even two of these different ethnic groups will know how stupid this classification is. Due to this reason I'll be using the term 'indigenous' (with regards to their inhabited area) instead of 'dardic'.
Notwithstanding the Kalasha's claims of Greek descent, the Baltis are the only ethnic group in GB who exhibit a noticeable mix of foreign (Tibetan) and indigenous descent. Their culture, language and appearance (due to which that poster thought that they were somehow related to the Nepalese) makes that abundantly clear. All the remaining groups are more or less native to the lands. For example the Hunzais or the Burusho are as native as they come; their genetic mix and language does not show any notable imports. The Kho are another example who are regularly either grouped together with the Pakhtoons or vaguely termed as Chitralis. The Kashmiri on the other hand is another example of broad classification. The differences in the Kashmiri people can be very pronounced depending upon which part of Kashmir they belong to. These differences are related to the admixture of other ethnicities (Gujjar, Dogra and Pahari) with the indigenous Kashmiri blood e.g. The Meerpuris are a far cry from the ones from the vale.
Also note that the ethnicities' names based on geographic terms do not mean that you'd find only those people in that region and only in that region. The Wakhi, for example, are named after the Wakhan corridor but reside in many different pockets in four different countries (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and China) and call themselves by different names in each. The Kho on the other hand can also be found in Ghizer and Ishkoman while the Shina from Gilgit to as far away as Indian occupied Kashmir. What I'm trying to say is that, as Wajsal mentioned before, Northern Pakistan is a beautiful soup of a very many different indigenous ethnicities. Some of them have been influenced by the others, some by foreign elements, some not at all. Classifying them all under a disingenuous a term as 'Dardic' would be unjust and ignorant.
The reasons why southern Pakistanis are thrown off by the clearly obvious differences in appearance of the different ethnicities up North are (1) They aren't used to seeing such pronounced differences in such a small region (2) they have no clue what is in our north (3) unlike the 4 provinces the dilution of the gene pool up north has been extremely slow due to the remoteness of the region (4) the far lighter skin tones than what they are used to seeing. Hence their conclusion: they cannot be from here.
Nods... I agree with that.But you have to accept that us Kashmiris are the crème de la crème of the lot !![]()
Well it would help if you did not moon them every few daysAnd then to top it all up we've could somewhat helluva surnames which provide a challenge when telling an English speaker that Butt is not in English !![]()
