Life of Zarsanga (her place in pashtunkhwah)

[Bengal_Tiger]

Hold up a minute guys, this is what wikipedia says about her;



It says she is African, so can any of you guys confirm if this is true at all? It sounds highly unbelievable to me because the only pakistanis of african origin are from markan and that is in balochistan. She looks like a dark skinned Pashtun to me and a kuchi by the way she looks.

Kuchi girl.





Kuchi men.

[RevolutionThroughReason]

she's not a Jat or African, she's a Kuchi from Afghanistan her family comes from Ghazni. Kuchis are often dark because they spend most of their life in the Sun. There are tons of Kuchis who look like her in Afghanistan, has nothing to do with being African, just hot dry climate.


This is an Afghan Kuchi woman.



A Kuchi Man


Kuchi family




Kuchis are the original Pashtuns, so the lighter skinned Pashtuns are actually Pashtunized Tajiks like Kushan Prince.

just listen to what she says. she has been helped by panjabies like imran khan and some one from karachi.

Zarsanga has such a magical voice, why you are seeing her as a paki? Just enjoy her songs.

i don't see her as a paki. to me she is a pashtun, the way she is treated by pakies bothers me, as she has devoted herself to pakies. that what she says.

[afghan]

so why you worry so much for pakis then?
have a great time with your parsiwan brothers and do,nt worry about pakhtu or zar sanga.

where nagma and mangal got more publicity?
where they made more money?
why usatd shah wali lived a poor life in afghanistan?
He earn more money and name in pakhtunkhwa then your afghanistan.
There are many other examples.
Zarsanga is gypsy women and i admire her for her great work.
After this she was helped by the govt.You can confirm this .
Find something els against pashtunkhwa and have fun on net.
Untill then good bye,,,,,,if you are so happy with your parsiwan brother then kindly do,nt waste your time on pashtuns.

naghma and mangal got famous in afghanistan. shah wali lived as a proud afghan. didn't sell himself to pakies. so are naghma and mangal.

No developing state in the world will pay for a singer.

Pakistan is a poor country and for it their should be no difference between a singer and a common poor.at the end of the day both are humans

i don't see her as a paki. to me she is a pashtun, the way she is treated by pakies bothers me, as she has devoted herself to pakies. that what she says.

But to these people here are saying shes a Jat, not a pashtun lol.

Here's a picture of her husband, what do you guys think he looks like?

....

1. To me if I saw him walking down the street in normal clothes in London, I would assume he's "black" or east African of some sort (Ethiopian/Somali etc).


When I saw the following picture, for a nano-second I thought it was a picture of Barack Obama superimposed on Zarsanga, and then obviously l looked properly and saw it was her.



Also the next picture, if someone showed me and asked me if the person was a: South Asian b: Iranic/south west Asian c: African (maybe east African) I would have gone for c:





I'm not saying that the Wikipedia article you quoted which states she has African ancestry is definitely correct, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.



The children however in the picture above (with her husband) whoever they are (maybe her children) do not look in any way African at all and look Indic (Dravidian influence).

I agree with you! In the first picture he also reminded me of an east african man while his kids look more south asian. Its kind of hard to tell because he's in typical afghan clothing but if he was dressed in western clothing i would say he could pass south asian for a jatt maybe.

this isn't her husband, he is another famous pashto singer they sang together. his name is khan taseer.

[afghan]

But to these people here are saying shes a Jat, not a pashtun lol.

honestly she said herself that she is a betaney not a kochai. I love her voice. its painful the way she suffers.
