South indian = 24%
Northern European = 13%
West Asian/Middle eastern= 10.5%
Siberian= 2.9%
Southern European = 0.4%
A lot of Ponjabis speak Pashto in peshwar this has to be taken into consideration. Simplification..you cannot apply this across the board, 24% South Asian. I have meet a pure blond girl with green eyes could pass for German she was from Logar province. While most may not present these features majority of Pashtuns are fair skin, bone structure robust not your typical South Indian. The case of higher frequency South Indian is most possible the further south you deviate from NWFP-Afghanistan.
The following are examples of more European than Asiatic.

Very similar to Macedonian classic cloths.

2300 years after Alexander the Great, Greek influence is still obvious in carved ornaments of old wooden mosques. Kalam.
A legal case here in Usa where a Ponjabi tried to pass as Aryan but was rejected by the court.
Associate Justice George Sutherland found that, while Thind, an Asian Indian, may claim to have "purity of Aryan blood" due to being "born in Village Taragarh Talawa,near Jandiala Guru, Amritsar, Punjab" and having "high caste" status; he was not Caucasian in the "common understanding", so he could not be included in the "statutory category as white persons".[1] George Sutherland wrote in his summary: [1]
“The eligibility of this applicant for citizenship is based on the sole fact that he is of high caste Hindu stock, born in Punjab [Amrit Sar], one of the extreme northwestern districts of India, and classified by certain scientific authorities as of the Caucasian or Aryan race...In the Punjab and Rajputana [Rajasthan], while the invaders seem to have met with more success in the effort to preserve their racial purity, intermarriages did occur producing an intermingling of the two and destroying to a greater or less degree the purity of the “Aryan” blood. The rules of caste, while calculated to prevent this intermixture, seem not to have been entirely successful... the given group [Asian Indian] cannot be properly assigned to any of the enumerated grand racial divisions. The type may have been so changed by intermixture of blood as to justify an intermediate classification. Something very like this has actually taken place in India. Thus, in Hindustan [India] and Berar [town in India] there was such an intermixture of the “Aryan” invader with the dark-skinned Dravidian.[1]
”
The Court concluded that "The term 'Aryan' has to do with linguistic, and not at all with physical, characteristics, and it would seem reasonably clear that mere resemblance in language, indicating a common linguistic root buried in remotely ancient soil, is altogether inadequate to prove common racial origin."
Rejected three times.

Graeco-Aryan (or Graeco-Armeno-Aryan) refers to a hypothesis that the Greek language, the Armenian language, and the Indo-Iranian languages share a common history within the wider Indo-European family. Graeco-Aryan unity would have become divided into Proto-Greek (spoken in the Balkans) and Proto-Indo-Iranian (spoken in the Caspian steppe) by the mid 3rd millennium BC. The Phrygian language would also be included.[citation needed] Geographically the ProtoArmenian must be located in Armenian Highland which means between the Proto-Greek and Proto-Indo-Iranian. The Phrygian language would also be located between the Armenian and Proto-Greek, which means the geographic region Asia Minor to the west of Armenia.
Graeco-Aryan has comparatively wide support among Indo-Europeanists.[1] Early and strong evidence was given by Euler's 1979 examination on shared features in Greek and Sanskrit nominal flection.[2]
Used in tandem with the Graeco-Armenian hypothesis, the Armenian language would also be included under the label Aryano-Greco-Armenic, splitting into proto-Greek/Phrygian and "Armeno-Aryan" (ancestor of Armenian and Indo-Iranian).[3][4]
In the context of the Kurgan hypothesis, Greco-Aryan is also known as "Late PIE" or "Late Indo-European" (LIE), suggesting that Greco-Aryan forms a dialect group which corresponds to the latest stage of linguistic unity in the Indo-European homeland in the early part of the 3rd millennium BC. By 2500 BC, Proto-Greek and Proto-Indo-Iranian had separated, moving westward and eastward from the Pontic Steppe, respectively.[5]
If Graeco-Aryan is a valid group, Grassmann's Law may have a common origin in Greek and Sanskrit.
Graeco-Aryan is invoked in particular in studies of comparative mythology, e.g. by West (1999)[6] and Watkins (2001).[

Terrible summation,
Alexander married Roxanne, his generals also married into the people to bridge the cultures, but they did take concubines from Persia. They spent less years in Persia or India.
One could argue that that Nato and Usa are helping India and Afghanistan partly due to its Aryan roots by culture, language or going back to Alexanders way.
