@tposingluigi @RomanoGreek @ofreacharound What exactly is genetically Aryan?

[Farhad @indusphone]

@RomanoGreek @ofreacharound Its probably not what you think it means.

@zerroittie You forgot to add "said no man ever".

[Farhad @indusphone]

@UmarCheema1 Ok, but he's not a Pathan. Baluch is written all over his face.

@welawaqeel689 @Moonshine2jg5e ah ok, nevermind I get what you were saying about indigeneity. I didnt see the post you were replying to.

[Farhad @indusphone]

@welawaqeel689 @Moonshine2jg5e I find Punjabi ethnic identity interesting cos the element of perceived common ancestry does not seem to matter. That gives it a powerful ability to assimilate but also makes it more arbitrary than tribalistic ethnic identities.

[Farhad @indusphone]

@welawaqeel689 @Moonshine2jg5e The problem with this line of thinking is where does the buck stop? Who is truly indigenous?

@HayatPreghal @Micks_it Islamabad belongs to all citizens of Pakistan. Keep us out of your bakwas.

@ArainGang @Afghan_DNA Bro, trust me we're not as interesting or as dramatic as you're making us sound.

[Farhad @indusphone]

@murs_Kandhar @Gwahram99 I can assure you no Khetran has ever heard of a Jamote faction. It is possible (in fact even likely imo) that some people of Sindhi ancestry got absorbed into the Khetran fold but there is no proper sub-tribe as such.

I didn't mean to post my reply in episodes but life is busy.

[Farhad @indusphone]

@murs_Kandhar @Gwahram99 Anyway, the point is Khetran origins cannot be ascertained as purely Pashtun or purely Baluch. But they are a Baluch tribe by virtue of their historical socio-political alignment with the Baluch. They are culturally also much closer to the Baluch.

@Gwahram99 @HasanMS_10016 Yeah, I thought the one below looked like Khetran and the one above looked like Katyani or something (I'm terrible at reading Nastaliq). Interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing this.

[Farhad @indusphone]

@Gwahram99 @HasanMS_10016 Interesting. I thought Khatiyan were considered a Sindhi Sammat clan...? I belong to the Khetran tribe and I have not heard of this connection before.

[Farhad @indusphone]

@HasanMS_10016 @Gwahram99 The Khetrans of Taunsa speak Seraiki. There are no historical Khetran settlements in Sindh.

[Farhad @indusphone]

@Gwahram99 @HasanMS_10016 Are they Hasni Khetrans or Hasnis independent from Khetrans?

Anyway, Musakhel? The Jafar tribe speaks a similar dialect, albeit probably with more Pashto admix since they are Pathans.
