@randomango32@Yaghistani@grok Thats my point how am i a moron. Pashtun nationalists decide who is pashtun based on skin colour because they are insecure.
@Yaghistani@randomango32@grok Are you retarded why do you keep tagging some ai. A pashtun having lived in punjab for generations and adopted its customs and language becomes punjabi thats what punjabis are. The ethnicity is still pashtun noones disputing that
@Yaghistani@randomango32@grok Its not bs, its true and you know it. How does the punjabi man from jalandhar have nothing to do with other punjabis? Punjabi is a regional identity not ethnic, pashtuns have been migrating east for centuries
@takeyourtablet@Pashz7 Iranic is a linguistic classification Theres no shame in being south asian Pashto has the typical south asian retroflex consonants. Pashtuns are also genetically more shifted towards india than other iranicpeople. Their history is also linked to india abdali was born in multan
@takeyourtablet@Pashz7 It was though. Eastern Afghanistan is in the indus basin and clearly was part of Indian civilisation. This corresponds to pashtun inhabited areas whereas tajiks are central asian
@nomadsos@Pastoralistt Its very hard to make a “racial” map for a region so diverse. First of all there are no universal definitions for race but this map groups together some completely unrelated people. Its easier to make a linguistic map than racial and that gives a lot of clues about “race”
@ToMoonNBeyond@mwlewis4241@BiruniKhorasan Kabul is in the indus basin and historically part of Indian civilisations, that side of Afghanistan today still has a lot of nuristani and dardic people
@Noruzafg@ZiganaKhan Afghanistan is also a fake country. Its borders were made by britain and russia and they put together a bunch of random people from other nations
@taketherisks_@ArmalBelton@Ziaullahburki44 Fucking retard chitralis are a separate people who had their own kingdom long before. Kunar is not pashtun and gige evidence for your claim that “Afghans” (pashtuns) wore pakols for centuries
@ArmalBelton@Ziaullahburki44 Nuristanis inhabit chitral and both groups traded with chitralis and pashtuns on the other side. The most likely theory is that nuristanis adopted it from chitralis who adopted it from gilgitis
@ArmalBelton Willem vogelsang has a good piece on this where he shows that the pakol was not worn in nuristan and chitral before the early modern period so it is most likely unrelated to the kausia and developed independently
