What were afghans before the advent of islam?

[asif86]

What religion did they follow in ancient times.

[Brown Skinned Savage]

I come from a school of thought that hypothesizes that Afghan ethno-genesis happened after Islam.

Who do you hypothisize were the people that were part of the ethno-genesis.

[tilla_jogian]

Hindus!

Partly Soghdians, Khostanese, Scythians, remnants of the Parthian empire, Hepthalites, Turkified Central Asian Indo-Iranians mainly. This would explain our R1a while still showing the heterogeneous origins of Pashtuns.

Hindus!

You know what's funny is that Afghans/Pashtuns are usually the ones to degrade Pakistanis for their Hindu past ...it seems you're just trying to copy us by reflecting our degradation for you.

That's what someone with an inferiority complex does when they have no ammunition left.

You dont think Kambojas or Bactrians had anything to do with it?

I don't know much about Kambojas, but possibly Bactrians, but I don't think Bactrians WERE Pashtuns, possibly contributed to the Tribal Confederacy but they themselves were not in their time Pashtuns.

49% have R1a but what about rest of 51%? What about 5-6% in same report who had H1a Ydna which is south indian tribal origin? Haplogroups don't exatcly tell anything about particular ethnic group origins.

Your naming of random ancient population who left behind rape childrens is not proven. But what is proven are genetic results of modern populations.

But its your history, I will not call Irani or Arab hindu. When there is documented history then why deny?

Can you show the Pashtun haplotype profile for us?

Why not? parts of Iran were ruled by the Maurya Dynasty according to that silly map of yours. You wouldn't call Arabs Hindu because you wish you want to make believe some Arab left an illegitimate seed in you.


Yes you're talking about inferiority complex; because you clearly have one. Hence why you want desperately to drag us down with you. Haha

Sorry but Iranis never had anything to do with hinduism, lets not involve unrelated people here ok? While you are hindu. I am not dragging anyone with me, its just history. You guys say we are hindus, so are you according to same history. Iranis and arabs not so much.

All make perfect sense.

Even your map shows parts of Eastern Iran under Maurya control. I just mentioned it because you hold on to maps which are largely modern constructions and hence subject to speculation.

You are dragging me down with you because you're an Indic and Hinduism is Indic heritage.

You know nothing about our history since you think people who were not Afghans ....are Afghans. haha
