What is this Indo-Scythian peoples?Friends please clear my doubt

[Surenas]

The only modern-day descendants of the Scythians are the Ossetians. They are an Iranian people in the Caucasus and still speak an Iranian language related to the Scythian language.

But they may be also mixed with local populations there.As we all suggest we cant find direct descendants of Indo-Scythians now because there civilization is completely eliminated and rest of them dilute in diffferent local populations in different regions

Scythians lived as far as Romania.

I never understood this qualification. What is the difference?

Punjabis are a huge mix and so the likelihood is that all Punjabis somehow descend from the Indo-Scythians. In this day and age you wont find exact descendants. With regards to the Kamboh, if they are deemed to be the descendents of the ancient Kambojas, then one could of course argue that Kambohs in turn too are descendents of the Indo-Scythians. BTW @Roybot, the Kamboj people exist on both sides of Punjab. Im a Kamboh as well.

"The Shahi rulers of Kapisa/Kabul who ruled Afghanistan from the early 4th century till AD 870 were Hindu Kamboj Kshatriyas. The Shahis of Afghanistan were discovered in 1874 to be connected to the Kamboja "race" by E. Vesey Westmacott."

And yes Kamboj are in both sides of Punjab, in east and west punjab.

Indo-Scythians refer to branch of Scythians that migrated into South Asia. Apart from that there were Indo-Parthians and Indo-Greeks.

Yes, but they were all Scythians, Parthians and Greeks. The 'Indo' part makes it look as if they were a special branch of these people, which they weren't. The 'Indo' part is just a geographical prefix.

Yes punjabi kamboj who moved to UP become bhangee over time.

Historians made such classification starting right from Indo-Aryans.

The special part is that they assimilated with the local population, hence the indo-part.

Yeah them Bhangees I tell you

Well, I understand the Indo-Iranian classification, which refers to the (linguistic) ancestors of the Iranians and Indo-Aryans.

 

[surya kiran]

Are you forking retarded or what? Harappadna.org is the source as i said before. Don't act stupid and no need to be ashamed of bhangee blood in your veins.

@That Guy @WebMaster @Aeronaut @Oscar @nuclearpak
