I have looked at your other posts on this thread which are quite logical and were a good read but I completely disagree with your comment on the modern Kashmiri people looking very fragile. I am not sure if you're referring to the Kashmiris from Kashmir Valley in India or Kashmiris settled in Punjab, Pakistan.
But if you look at the Butt/Kashmiris of Punjab then
The current Wrestling Champion of Pakistan with 2 Commonwealth Golds is Inam Butt
The current best Weightlifter of Pakistan is Muhammad Nooh Butt (Bronze in Commonwealth)
The current best Kabbadi raider after Babbar Gujjar is Heera Butt
All of them are of Kashmiri descent so I am not sure where you got this concept of modern Kashmiris being fragile? I think currently it is the Kashmiris of Gujranwala that are keeping the Punjabi Riwaj of Pehalwani alive.
As for marrying into other ethnicities, It is reported that Gama Pehalwan had a second wife in Gujrat but being from the Kashmiri community what I have felt is that Kashmiris from Gujranwala & also Amritsar (back in the day) are very strict on not marrying outside Kashmiris.
It's just the diet and mindset I believe that has made the difference between Kashmiris from the valley and Punjab. Diet in Punjab is very high in Saturated fat such as Ghee, Paya also Kashmiris from the valley are believed to be very disciplined and non-aggressive individuals which I feel is due to a very heavy sufi influence but you don't see such traits in majority of the Punjabis of Kashmiri descent
Peace!
Just one answer, Inam Butt, Nooh Butt and Heera Butt don't look like Kashmiris from "Kashmir valley" even remotely speaking. If they have Kashmiri ancestry then it is definitely diluted in them. Even in Gujranwala too, there are two types of Kashmiris, the one who look like "slander fragile" looking and "peaceful" like the Kashmiris of Kashmir valley and the other goup "sturdy heavy" looking Kashmiris which are definitely Kashmiris of category one plus mixed with something else most probably either with local punjabis or with people of areas of Kashmir outside of Kashmir valley probably modern Azad Kashmir or even Jammu areas where there is significant concentration of "sturdy" looking people. Also back in the day, a "Kashmiri" settling in Punjab was NOT always supposed to be a "pure Kashmiri" originating "strictly" from "Kashmir valley" but many guys who were from neighboring areas of Kashmir like modern Azad Kashmir and greater Jammu areas who were even slightly mixed with Kashmiris of Kashmir valley also used to identify as full "Kashmiris" in Punjab. Believe it or not, but Kashmiris of Punjab predominantly don't look like the Kashmiris of the valley and there is a reason behind it because most of them have only "diluted Kashmiri" ancestries and some might not have even "any genetic ancestry" from the Kashmiris of the Kashmir valley.
I mean a Kashmiri from Gujranwala strongly believes in "vengeance" and "revenge" which is a trait almost absent from the "Kashmiris" of the Kashmir valley who look to me "peaceful" (basically weak) type of people, probably due to their limited "physical strength" in those fragile looking bodies they carry, compared to the "sturdy" looking "angry" and "not so peaceful" type of kashmiris of Gujranwala or Lahore areas .
