Pakistanis of Greeks and Macedonians Descent

[Indus Pakistan]

He did go further east and slaughtered 5000 Sialkotias, but didn't bother crossing pure land since only jungles and savages were awaiting him with no sign of civilization yet.

Respect, respect, respect. Save Ghenda I think I can retire now. You can easily fill my space ... ha ha ha !

 

[Irfan Baloch]

I ask you again why did you did you bring Nanda in the discussion? Only a Indian would bring that in to embellish mother India ?

take a chill pill.

 

[Indus Pakistan]

take a chill pill.

I did but you need to adminster one to Shan-e-Ibrahim. You need to buy for him because he can't afford it ....

You a closet Hindu period. The Greeks contrary to what North West Europeans claim are not and were not blue eyed blondes. Go to Greece and you will see what the majority look. Most Pashtun's could easily pass of as Greeks. The Greeks, Turks and even Iranians look remarkably similar. It is only Western revisionist history and Hollywood movies that have made Alexander in some German looking guy. Fact was he was Meditearnean.

And i have no idea why you brought 'Muslim' or 'Islam' into this. This was well before advent of Islam or even Christianity ...

and after 2,000 years you think anybody would still be Greek? That is over 70 generations ago. By now the Greek influence will have been subsumed with the population matrix.

Their are Folks in Tora Bora and Chitral who are way lighter than the average Greek

on abb tak 7th may release with Hamid Gul's interview. He clearly called these greek descendants as Kaffirs and bashed alexander. Now he was our ISI chief, and promoted Pakistani supremacy but some feel proud calling themselves of greek descendants. How embarrassing!! .

 

[Kambojaric]

This is big disrespect towards people of subcontinent and act of showing supremacy of a failed adventure of greeks and macedonians in the subcontinent.

This Alexander tried to change the genes and hereditary of every place he invaded. But after he was bashed by Purshotam(Porus) in Punjab region of Multan(now in Pakistan) he stopped his failed adventure out of fear. Later other empires from Indian side took back the territory. And greeks/macedonians were thrown out of the subcontinent into Iran.

Do you have any sources or accounts to back this up? Porus didnt even rule Multan. His territory was limited to the region around Jhelum and Chenab. The Mallis were the ones ruling in Multan. Sure Alexander faced stiff reistance throughout the Indus whether it be the Kamboja clans further north or Porus and the Multanis further South and this stiff resistance probably was the reason why his troops had had enough and wanted to go home. However to suggest that Alexander lost to Porus and then subsequently decided to invade other territories is not accepted in the mainstream and will remain a fringe theory unless concrete evidence can be provided showing otherwise.

Regarding the OP its hard to see how much of a genetic impact the Greeks could have had on the local populace which would have outnumbered the Greeks manifold. Of course if there is any place that they could have had an impact on, it would have been in the relatively more sparsely populated Northern regions of modern day Gilgit Baltistan but no records afaik show that Alexander ventured this far north. If true then it was probably the Bactrian Greeks who of course had a far bigger impact on the region than Alexander.

All the sources which are found on internet are pro greek and macedonian which people call quality source or valid or neutral. This is known as creating inferior complex through print media and information war. Porus (Purshottam) would have either died or given his territory to Mecedonians if was defeated. Who the hell is Alexander to judge the bravery. Well Alexander fought with bravery hence Porus(Purshottam) granted him life by allowing him safe escape. On his return.

And I am bloody damn sure, had he won the battle he would have left with nothing to fight with other empires. And his escape would have been made much more tougher.

it's on youtube, you will miss it those who can watch do see.
@18:03
he said these greek kaffirs lineage of selucus the greek general are living in chitral part of kafiristan and left with few days only to survive, etc etc etc

 

[Steve781]

"Macedonia" is a fake country founded by Bulgarians. The ancient Macedonians were Greek.

 

[Pandora]

look at the morons fighting over who won God knows how long ago when there was no India Pakistan or Greece for the matter of fact. Try celebrating the diversity in Pakistan with such kind and beautiful people who are not afraid to call Pakistan their homeland.

 

[akshay gehlot]

Umm. Yeah great findings but are quite contenious . I mean alexander came 2400 yrs ago so accuracy is debatable

The Dna might be same but people have long changed. Because one might say
If north pakistani's and macedonians have close to identical genes then india and pak should have 99.99% same DNA and they aren't even 50% similar

P.S : The girls were really beautiful. NEARLY Lost my focus on the article. Also a question DO These people practice a slightly diffrent religion than conventional Islam coz it looks like it

 

[SrNair]

If he was defeated why didn't Alexander march towards further east? And Alexander gave a piece of Land to the defeated king in Multan (Hydaspes) Nonsense!

Alexander was thrashed by Purshottam(Porus) in Pakistan brutally!

Alexander marched towards east.
But he withdrawn due to the formidable military display of Nanda Empire and riot in his own army.
Purushotam fought very well but he defeated because at that war Alexander proved his reputation as one of the finest Military strategists and tactician.

King Porus (the Latinisation of the Greek Πῶρος - Pôros, a representation of the Puru Vedic tribe) was the King of Paurava, an ancient kingdom located between the Jhelum and Chenab rivers (in Greek, the Hydaspes and the Acesines rivers) in modern-day Punjab, Pakistan, and later of dominions extending to the Beas (in Greek, the Hyphasis). Porus fought Alexander the Great in the Battle of the Hydaspes River in 326 BC (at the site of modern-day Mong) and was defeated. He then served Alexander as a client king.

This is what your people said. You know many references were burnt after his death!
He was defeated. Most of his men were on foot and they had no chance to win against Elephant army.

I do not believe Purshottam(Porus) was defeated. It was taught by western system of education to us.
