Who do you think Pashtuns are most similar too?

[tripledouble]

Baloch of Sindh is Sindh-ized, compare them with those of far areas like those in Iran or Afghanistan. The ones in Lyari are mostly not true Balochs but sheedis

not really

i know sindhi baloch & some lyari baloch

also some Lyari Baloch are recent migrants from Khuzdar f.e BLA/BRA have some supporters there

Hindu Sindhis are different, they are completely different from us.

The Muslim Sindhis share many things with Baloch, even if they are not of Baloch descent themselves for example, Sindhis in Tando Adam Khan love to eat mutton sajji which is of course a Balochi dish but Sindhis and Baloch from coastal regions eat shrimp and prawns, desert Baloch or Sindhis will never eat shrimp or prawns unless they are educated/exposed to Western culture.

Baloch are also very Indic in their culture for example, Baloch tradition demands that when you meet a peer or religious figure they touch their feet like in Indian movies and even most Sindhis, Punjabis or Urdu-speaking don't do that.

Not sure if Baloch are indic, but sindhis defiantly originally were Indians, The heavy baloch influences on their culture are defiantly more recent like 100-200 years and it is probably because many baloch have mixed with Sindhi muslims

^ my point is many pakistanis can fit in sri lanka, and many sri lankans can fit in eastern pakistan

many but not majority and Sangakkara is one the better looking Sri Lankan players, Shoaib Aktar is to us what Malinga is to them

matter of fact, going back to 17th century and even before there are ancient links going back 1000s of years because they are right next to each other damnit

lol these regions are new terms, they change along political line every new century or two

sri lankan/south indian culture are extremely d/f from eastern pak culture, eastern pak culture is same as north indian like yours, stop your agenda brother

people are closest to their geographic neighbors, so stop your trolling now, your hate for pakistan and punjabis in particular is weird, it should stop, i don't even think muhajirs are like sri lankans or bengalis and u are stretching dravidian kingdom all the way to the of the abaseen(indus)

I dont hate punjabies especially since my wife is one. Im just telling u the reality

Again who is saying Pakistanis / north indians are sri lankans? I am saying we are closer to them then we are too people west of indus river in terms of culture

btw your hand doesn't count as your wife

Tajiks, Pamiris... thats about it.

[kanishka]

Culuturally(Manners, lifestyle etc.):

Balochis, Kohistanis etc.

Genetically(genetics, race, physical features): Tajiks and Pamiri people....

[Shapur]

I would say to Balochis and Kurds

[Kushan Prince]

I think they are the closest to Baloch's in both culture and genetics.

People read on internet that Sheedis live in Lyari so they believe that but in reality, Sheedis of pure African appearance are a very small minority. Most people in Lyari are not Sheedi but they are Baloch. A lot of families from Iranian Balochistan have been coming to Lyari since the 1940s and recently people from Khuzdar etc like you mentioned have settled in Lyari also.

[Black Pakistani]

so are baloch religious or cool about religion?i have baloch friend jhal magsi and one from nushki, the 1 from jhal magsi is atheist but 1 from nushki is very religious like pushtun, hell the one from Jhal Magsi looks Sindhi or Muhajir but one from Nushki looks Pushtun, so i suppose these d/f are varying from region within bstan?

Most Baloch are not very religious or even if they are namazi as we say, they are still not extremist like in many other communities especially Pashtun. Baloch are devout Muslims in the mosque but they don't bring mosque home with them. Baloch (and Brahui) culture is also on liberal side, especially in Pakistan, women and men may dance together, even shake hands upon meeting in some tribes.

Sorry bro, maybe not that close in genetics but many aspects of culture are similar.

Actually they are pretty similar in genetics. Many Baloch tribes of Pashtun origin and Balcoh's in general are R1a like Pashtuns. Somebody also posted a thread here in the Pashtun history section that showed Sindhis are closely related to Pashtuns. Just a side hint; Many sindhis are of Baloch origin.

I'm telling you now, when you see the Black faces of ordinary Indic and Afro Balochan, you will probably deny any relation to them but you will accept the Pashtun-looking ones. Its a double standard because you will say the dark ones are not real Baloch but they are and you are in no position to deny that.

Sheedi badsha hum badsha
Rang asan jo sabkha sono roop asan jo sab kha pyaaro

Translation:

Sheedis are kings
Our colour is the most beautiful of all and so is our appearance.
