Are Middle Eastern and Indian culture related?

[Avicenna]

This was about culture not about how people look. Don't you think you went off topic. Yeah we have nothing to do with middle east or some puny country like Afghanistan. Now please hold your pashtun and Tajik pride and shut the fuck up

"Indiot" Lol why you gotta call him that? Bruh, your comment is kinda raising the OWD alarm. You are using that reoccurring argument I've seen Middle Easterners, Afghans and even Pakistanis on Anthroforums use that they are somehow White compared to Indians and that fact separates the two people when in reality, you have Indians who look like this.







and you have Middle Easterners who look like this

Brigitte Gabriel - Lebanese


Syrian teenager (lol at her and her "photo")


Bedouin Arabs from Petra, Jordan.


Saudi princess


The Indians I posted look like White people compared to these Middle Easterners but yet everybody knows both ethnicities have dark and light populations, a fact you will hardly find some MENAs on the internet acknowledge, they will only acknowledge the light Middle Easterners and ignore their dark countrymen. and the uncanny resemblance that both South Asians and Middle Easterners share is so blatant that denying it is just absurd and funny to an outsider.

Speaking of outsiders, no offense but Middle Eastern and Indians look the same to the average outsider, you can look up stories where Americans or Canadians mistook Indians for Middle Easterners and shot them. I have never heard a story where one was confused for a White dude.

The difference is that the south Asians you have posted are extremely atypical . This is something that I haven't made up , it's reality . I can also show you Arab looking Italians and Swedish looking Lebanese , so what? We are talking about the average phentoype .

This whole forum should raise multiple alarms for you since we have Europeans fighting with each other over who's whiter . I literally just stated my perspective after watching a football match today . Middle East and India are not really similar at all .

India is a subcontinent with over 1.366 billion people. How could anyone state for a fact what's typical and what's atypical over there?

Okay let me sum it up for you . There is no ethnciity within the Indian sub continent that is lighter on average than MOST middle Eastern groups . I've also been exposed to many many south Asians over my years in this world , so I know what I'm talking about . And you are right , India is such as large region with so much diverse ethnci groups that they should be compared with one another before bringing up regions outside of the indosphere, it's pointless .

For instance , people from the state of Gujarat and people from Punjab are different , TO THEM. To the outsider like me and you they look similar . A person from Hyderabad and Rajasthan are very different , TO THEM, but to me and you they look the same . Do you see where I'm going with this ?

No not even afghanistan . I was watching the afghanistan India football match today and the differences between the two sides were like black and whites . ( Literally , the Indians were dark brown and the afghans were white . Middle Eastern culture like levantines and mesopatamians don't have similar culture to south Asian rather with gulf Arabs ).

Of course Afghans have a lot more lighter complexioned people than Punjabis and other Indians, but the difference is not always as big as you appear to believe.

See this Afghan kabaddi team, kneeling, in Punjab, with Punjabis at the back.


Or look at these Afghan refugees in Pakistan. The one in the middle can easily be mistaken for a Kashmiri while the other two men do not look out of place in many parts of India.


Or see these Punjabis in UK with David Cameron, they dont look black compared to David Cameron.

This chef guy in white shirt (4th from right) is Punjabi while the others are of course white. He does not look too black compared to them, let alone compared to many Afghans.





On the other hand I saw this Afghan on TV only yesterday. The Punjabi guy above does not look black compared to him or most other Afghans.

Nice try turbo , but you seem to come out whenever I talk about afghans and south Asians . Are you okay? You can post them jalalabadi( stereotyped as very dark by other afghans ) refugees and contrast it with brightly colored pics of Punjabis but I was talking about the football game I was watching today . I can show you millions of afghans who are lighter than Punjabis , but what does that prove ?

I know your hurting when I said black turbo but keep in mind the world doesn't revolve around Punjabis . The Indian national team contains other ethncities too and is it my fault they were dark brown? No need to get butthurt when I can show you thousands of brown black Punjabis from the UK .
