^ indians are generally dark, doesn't matter where they are coming from be it punjab or bengal. of course indian phenotype is different depending on the region, Punjabies are north west indians, so obviously they will have more influence from outside compared to other areas

btw skin colour has nothing to do with genetics, skin colour is mostly effected by the environment

^ So mohajir are generally dark.

^ of course, skin colour is nothing, for example the FEATURES are very different
You can see a gujarati more fair than a punjabi but their features are obviously different

Keep dreaming. I never wanted to say that.

I wanted to say that these pashtuns don't look like europeans / greeks like apollyon wanted to mean

^ and they dont even look like west eurasians they are too dark and their features are very different

It is said Jats are descandants of ''Kushans'', the Tocharians. But if you look to Jats you mostly see the average Indian and not the blue-eyed and blond cantem-speaking ''Caucasian''.

Because they were mixed with other south asians, just like pashtuns.

The kashmiris are not dark.
Same for some punjabis ( haryana punjab himachal )
And hindus brahmins

Btw where your family came from ? U.P ?

The guy sitting next to whipping boy with a grin on his face is a spitting image of Greg Rusedski



and btw, none or perhaps about 1% look Indian.

Jatts are much more heavily mixed with indigenous Indians than Pashtuns.

Average Jatts and average Pashtuns look very different.

[roadrunner]

So alot of Kandari's can be descendants of Alex boy's army? That's pretty sad for the natives who fought them.

Not necessarily. The original founders of Kandahar might have been. The city didn't start as large as it is now.

Similar to Afghans cloths, fire dance, (attan) bone structure.

HELLENISM IN THE ORIENT
or THE SPREAD OF THE GREEK CIVILIZATION IN ASIAby Alexander and the Hellens by Dr. Potitsa Grigorakou-Parnassos
The ancient Macedonians followed Alexander all the way to India and assisted him to build his empire which survived -divided into smaller ones- for three centuries after his death (in 323 B.C.) These three post-Alexander centuries are called by scholars as the German Droysen, Hellenistic Era, to distinguish it from the Greek classical period.

Jatts are much more heavily mixed with indigenous Indians than Pashtuns.

Average Jatts and average Pashtuns look very different.

I feel certain that Jatts and Pashtuns have similar origins but due to where each of these groups settled, and over time mixed with different natives, then the average look is different. Nevertheless there are many individuals amongst Jats and other Punjabi groups who in fact can look more "Pashtun" than many Pashtuns.

What do these Pashtuns look like to you? Greeks? Russians? Germans?

^ all of you guys seem to be trolling. Wahe Guru/Bharti are posting the darkest pashtuns and Apollyn is posting the lightest pashtuns, the reality is pashtuns come in all of those colour/shapes types from the darker ones to the lighter ones. But even the darker ones do not look indian, while most Jatts are still north indian/punjabi looking, sure they might be lighter then other indians, but their look is still pretty much north indian

[roadrunner]

Many Jatts look Tamil. A very long time ago they might have come from the northwest. They've assimilated by now. The Pashtuns did not have the same assimilation.

[JattApache]

Pashtuns were obviously MIXED .
( with persians, tajiks, turks, indo-aryans, greeks, arab, south indians etc.... )

There is not any " pure " race

They were mixed with their neighbours, this is not hard to understand !


Same for punjabis, kashmiris, tajiks, hazaras, turks.............

[Wahe Guru]

It is said Jats are descandants of ''Kushans'', the Tocharians. But if you look to Jats you mostly see the average Indian and not the blue-eyed and blond cantem-speaking ''Caucasian''.

There are many light coloured Jats and Punjabis and every village will have a few individuals with green or blue eyes and brown or even blond hair. Cities will have even more such individuals.

If you moved a million blue eyed, blond Swedes to middle of India and made them work 10 hours everyday outside in the sun with just shorts (or min-shorts) on their body, then many will begin die of cancer, those who survive will start tanning and their descendants would become darker and darker after not too long. Just leave them working outside like that for a few hundred years and go back to see what they would look like.

However being of a particular colour or appearance, eye or hair colour does not mean better looking. It is subjective and gets ingrained by culture. When the first west Africans saw Europeans, they considered those Europeans to be very ugly and ghost like creatures.

Huh ?
They don't have tamil people's features
Maybe the skin color but not the features

Jatts are ( in average ) light brown / reddish skinned

Anyway, they were MIXED like their neighbours
