Come on. Indo Europeans indo Aryana were not mongoloid or look similar to central Asians. Aryan itself is Sanskrit word have nothing to do with central Asian languages it wouldn't been even famous if not for hitler making it famous
Pashtuns are Iranic speaking Pakistanis.
do you really think that ancient central asians 3000/4000 years ago were mongolic??? turks and mongols settled in central asia only in the last 1000 years and before that indoeuropeans like scythians,tocharians and yuezhi lived there.Ancient central asians were all caucasoid and carried r1a and other west asian haplogroups only
That might be true, but the Arabs never made a significant impact in Afghanistan or South Asia, we made far more impact in Sicily and Iberia to be honest. As we did not care about the eastern part of the empire. It was the Turkic tribes that did care and came from that region to South Asia. We did care about North Africa however since it had similar culture and climate to us.
A traditional anthroboard wogdown, how lovely!
What people don't understand is, the HOMELAND of the pashtuns is AFGHANISTAN not pakistan. So what if theyres more of them over in Pakistan, a lot of them are admixed anyways and a lot of them claim false ancestry just to associate themselves with pashtuns. I've seen peshawaris and by God, they look frickin paki. Not iranid lookig but indid looking. When they count the ethnic groups, these kinds of people Will be counted as "pashtun". It's a pisstake because now people are claiming that pakistan is the homeland. The only pashtuns IMO in pakistan are the villagers at the border. You can forest about the ones in cities and apparently in the swat region, where malalai yusufzai comes from, they are pashtunized dardics. Although many look light pigmented.
