I'm not Pakistani, but I know your national anthem and I love it very much. Greetings from the Islamic Republic of Syria to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan
Nope, actually It's kinda funny that around 70-75 % of Pakistan's population is ethinicaly indic/indian ( rest are mostly Indo-Iranian) but they (both gov and people) frequently change their ethinicity ( someone times they claim to be descendents of Arabs, sometimes turks and Genghis Khan and hell some even claim sikander/Alexander)
@@nabateron9790 hahaha I don’t even need to guess that this is coming from an Indian :p So the Indo Iranian peoples In Pakistan include Pashtuns (43 million) Baloch (13 million) and Sindhis (55 million). This comes to a total of 111 million out of 210 or almost 52% who are Indo Iranian instead of Indo Aryans. This leaves us with Punjabis, Mohajirs and Kashmiris among other major ethnic groups. These groups with pockets here and there are Indo Aryans similar to our Indian cousins from the North of India. Exceptions: A very large number of Pashtuns and Baloch live in Punjab in Mianwali and D G Khan respectively (in fact a lot of South Punjab are Baloch who speak Saraiki). The current PM of Pakistan is a Niazi Pashtun from Punjab. The current CM of Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar is a Saraiki speaking Baloch. The former President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari is a Sindhi speaking Baloch. It’s not as simple as my Indian cousins think and the actual number of indo aryans is much smaller. Even among the Mohajir there’s a small number of Pashtuns (mustn’t forget that your Bollywood is dominated by Pashtuns too). Sher Shah Suri from Bihar was a Pashtun too. I on the other hand am descended from Hindu Rajputs who moved from Rajasthan to Punjab some 700 to 1000 years ago and embraced Islam at the hands of Sufi Baba Farid. Nobody in Pakistan is shy or hesitant about their heritage, people who are Rajput or Jatt are very open and honest about it. Also there’s a misconception among my Hindu cousins that Pakistanis somehow feel Arab. Our culture is closer to Persia than to Arabia. For a very long time Persian was the Lingua Franca of South and Central Asia to the point that even Ranjit used it as his court language. Farsi was for us what French was for the Europeans. Farsi is still spoken by the Pashtuns in Afghanistan who call it Dari (the language of the Darbar) and some of that influence seeps in through Pakistan’s own Pashtun population.
@Hindustani Muslim Mamluks Correct !!! Plus they spend too much time watching Arnaaab Gand-Swami and have very strange stereotypes about Muslims and Pakistan.
