    Default Ethnic Groups of South Asia (In Pictures)

    South Asia is a very diverse region, with around more than 1600+ languages and ethnic groups spread around the region. Many of these are largely unknown. I will be adding various pictures of these ethnic groups here, along with the larger/more common ones.





    Balti people

    The Balti are an ethnic group of Tibetan descent with Dardic admixture who live in the Gilgit–Baltistan region of Pakistan and the Kargil region of India. Smaller populations are found in the Leh region; others are scattered in Pakistan's major urban centres of Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad/Rawalpindi.

    Gujjar people

    Gurjar or Gujjar are a pastoral agricultural ethnic group with populations in India and Pakistan and a small number in northeastern Afghanistan.Alternative spellings include Gurjara, Gurjjar, Gojar and Gūjar. Although they are able to speak the language of the country where they live, Gurjars have their own language, known as Gujari. They variously follow Hinduism, Islam, and Sikhism. The Gurjars are classified as Other Backward Class (OBC) in some states in India; however, Gurjars in Jammu and Kashmir and parts of Himachal Pradesh are categorised as a Scheduled Tribe. Hindu Gurjars were assimilated into various varnas in the medieval period.
