In what world is Afghanistan Central or South Asian?

[marwat]

Afghanistan came in south asia politically and according to United nation further geographic distribution of land beyond countries. geographic land distribution is based on politics and economic integration, and not on culture or language. afghanistan is culturally central asian

[torkham]

pashtuns are not south asian at all, yesterday I saw the perfect example of this, I went to Gerard India town here in Toronto, to Lahore Tikka house resturant, now there was Pashtun family there, speaking pashto, they clearly stood out from rest of the south asian (indian/pakistani) crowed, I think the owner of the place who is a pakistani guy thought they were white, because they were dressed in western attire, he was guiding them, as if they have never eaten pakistani/indian food

Interesting observation that I can agree to. If one were to go through Kabul airport or better get a chance to visit one of the bazaars of an Afghan city one would be astounded to see the gamut of faces that make Afghanistan more in line with so called southern central asia - faces not seen amongst natives of SE Asia. There is no doubt left that its not 'pindi or labore or delhi or Dakka@bengal tiger.

What desi bed. Do you know desi even don't know how to make this bed. It's mostly pashtun from south kp that go to punjab and make it. The fiber or what you call it of which the bed is sewed only grow in south kp deserts not in punjab

[Forreigner]

I think Afghanistan is South Asia, Central Asia and Middle East/West Asia.....we are located in the middle of everything...which is why so many empires tried to conquer this land..

[Manzareh]

what difference does it make

[Manzareh]

haha. my friend write my commant for me last time. he knowing english full. i not knowing full english.

I am agreeing Pashtunes not looking south asian. they not also looking white men to me. They looking white to desi people? Desi not thinking Pashtunes white people. I seeing in photo I show Pashtunes people have much looking mixed with Mongolian looks.

Why the heck are you obsessed with skin colour in ebery thread?? all desi's indians talk about it white, brown. get a life

[Kabulistan]

what difference does it make

True...it makes no difference....south, central, west....i think its great that we can be all 3....we have close cultural and historical ties to South aasia, to central and west asia as well. This is something we must only be happy about.

Op is just paranoid cuz some posters keeps trolling him pashtuns and afghans are Indian...lool

To tell you the truth, yes we Afghans are also genetically close to Indic peoples, specially Northern Indians and Punjabis...I believe Punjabis were part of Achamenid Empire hence why spread of Farsi in large parts of ancient India.

We Afghans and Indians are close cousins...I like india...i want to visit India someday...

^^ haha brothar karachi I now seeing in picture Pashtunes using our same desi bed. white peoples not have this bed. only desi have this same bed.

Haha, follow this syllogism:

A Desi people wear Bata shoes
B Bata shoes are from Singapore
C One belongs to the country where your good are made

Conclusion: Desi people from Singapore

Ignoramus, waste time somewhere else.
I hear PAK DEFENCE FORUM is looking for obsequious followers.

[MENTION=19604]mungojerry[/MENTION] Lol at your desperation to try to claim Pashtuns as Desi with the example of beds used in all third world countries?

Are Somalis Desi now? In fact, Desis resemble Somalis more than they do White people.

Some Pashtuns do look little Desi influenced...more common among Paki Pashtuns though....

That Pakistan criketer with last name Afridi is a good example of a Desi looking Pashtun

[Karachi]

Afghanistan is not in South Asia....only selfhating Indians and Pakis want Afghanistan to be part of their South Asia, because having Afghans as "South Asian" makes the region look more White and less Apu like if you understand what I am talking about....


There is absolutely nothing "South Asian" about Afghans and Afghanistan...

Afghans are actually Central Asian/West Asian together with Iranians but today that means Caucasoid Mongoloide hybrid...which these nations clearly are not... So it doesnt fit us anymore....if not for barbarian Mongol and Turk hordes destroying Central Asia, there would be a fine racial transition from Eastern Europe to Afghanistan...Pamiri Tajiks are best example of what the Central Asian Iranics/Aryans looke like before they were racially genocided by Mongols and Turks and replaced by ugly inferior looking flat faced small eyed ching chongs.

Entirety of Pakistan and NW India was once inhabited by pure Aryans...today these areas are filled with Apus.

I dont understand what is that APU look stereotype, do all desis look like that? no, absolutely not. There are millions of desi men who do not look like APU, being darkskiined doesn't mean they will look like him

AFridi looks desi? you must be on drugs, again what you are potraying is totally inaccurate

He would probably better fit in Syria, rather then India
