Shameful Indian Turks. Turkicized South Asian Turks, Indian and Pakistani identifying as pure Turks

[Marmara]

There's an Indian Buddhist on YouTube named 'GrandmasterTigerfist' that LARPs as Turk. Nearly all the Desi LARPers I've met would LARP as Pashtun, but this guy is an exception.

Here is his YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandmasterTigerfist/feed

He claims that his grandma was from Uzbekistan or something and uses phrases like "we Turks" If I come across any of his comments, I'll post them on this thread. I haven't seen his comments in ages, but remember his username from the cringe. I'm not sure if he still comments on Turkic-related topics anymore, but he used to around 3 years ago.

ButlerKing is right. They are insulting their own South Asian heritage.

Their appearance are distinctive from those of Central Asia and Turkey. They are basically insulting their South Asian heritage.

They probably honestly believe they are Turks. I wouldn't say that is insulting the South Asian heritage. It may be ignorance but not insulting as they do not think they are Indians based on what their families told them.

Yeah, some do look legit I admit. Zarine Khan also looks 100% Pashtuns. But these are fairly recent migrants and they only make up a small minority of Indians that claim Afghan lineage. These guys are like German-Americans identifying with Germany. The vast majority of them however have the Elizabeth Warren syndrome. The guy whose post I linked literally claimed that his great-grandmother was some Pashtun princess lmao.

Jesus christ what's wrong with that dude. Is muhajir that derogatory? He said he has some limited UNPROVEN pashtun links with ansaris, yet still takes full right to insult indians and condemn them. Idk why but this sort of reminds me of southeast asians who try to be chinese/korean. They insult their own groups and suck up northeast asians. It's disgusting.

Oddly, this is a documentary from Turkish state channel, accepting their claim, name of documentary is "Turks of India"

We had something similar happen. There was this Hindu woman from India who made a documentary on "Hindu Pashtuns" in collaboration with VOA: https://yourstory.com/2018/01/filmma...indu-pashtuns/

She looks 110% Indian. She even pronounces her name in a very cringey way to try to make it sound more Pashtun. She claimed that she was told her entire life they were Punjabis but since her family lived in Quetta (Pashtun-majority city), she thought she must be Pashtun and tried to fabricate some ancestry from a tribe when she "suddenly realized" she was Pashtun and she learnt Pashto after adulthood.

If large number of Italians claimed to be Germans and identify German, wouldn't you feel be insulted?

In that thread, 2-3 Pashtuns and one Tamil guy were laughing at him iirc. He then got pissed off at them and was talking about how UP-Biharis look similar to Pashtuns but look nothing like South Indians He also went on an irrelevant rant about Tamil separatists as if they're remotely relevant in the 21st century.

Being muhajir isn't derogatory, its just too boring for them. The guy lives in Canada too.

True that. People confuse the colonial mentality and think every non-European have it

Indeed, when that's not the case. Colonial mentality never existed in Iraq and Arabian peninsula, mainly because we managed to defeat the European superpowers or inflict heavy damages on them. For example the Portuguese were kicked out from the Arabian peninsula, by the Omani Sultan Bin Saif, with other Arab reinforcement from Saudi and other nations managed to crush them and drive them back to their colonies in Africa and India, they also ransacked them. Also the Arabian tribes in the east coast would often attack the British ships, which lead to the British in burning Doha to the ground, but the attacks continued on them. In Iraq the British were crushed during the 1921 in Iraq, because they suffered a lot of damages then they installed the Hashamites there to keep peace. Within Arabia itself, the British saw from previous experience of the Portuguese that direct colonization would not work, they tried but they also failed, so they bought out some leaders that's all. However they never bought the leaders of Jebal Shammar, because they refused they took the war with them in Iraq, and often attacking the British out post there. Recently with the Anglo-American forces, had suffered heavily especially in the Western regions, which they could not be subdued. Heck even in the Southern regions, many of the tribesmen fought against the Anglo-American forces, it was only few traitors from outside and have no tribal affiliation that welcomed them.

Since we managed to kick their asses, and never got dominated we never developed this colonial mentality or inferiority complex. Libyans are the same in North Africa, because they managed to inflict heavy damages on the Italians and their Ethiopian mercenaries.

lol,, I wouldn't care to be honest. I would be more concerned about Canadians claiming to be Americans as I am an American.

As long as there is evidence to back up the claims. I am not sure of the history of India but in Europe many Germans tribes flowed south after Rome fell and you can see this in the architecture. Is there any Turkic architecture in India ?? If there is it would help support their claims.

Found him! There is a video regarding Talibans killing Uzbeks, "his people of course" , so he obviously feels offended and has to chime in.
