[🇵🇰] RigVedic Period of Pakistan

[Sharma Ji]

ok, googles, apparently Aishwarya is not bamman at all !

 

[Sharma Ji]

I meant chitpavan, saraswat .. and others

 

[Sharma Ji]

Sharmas are common folk lower level ones.. garden variety paan chabau on the streets on Varanasi types

Do they ?

You'd be hard pressed to tell many north western Bhartis apart from your proper Pk momins if you take away the tika, stacheless beard, sikhan di turbin and other decorations on the insaand in question.

wduthink @Lulldapull ?

Living in Canada and encountering many NW Bharatis and visiting Pakistan, I began to realize this even more than I already have.

No other reason. Common linguistics does not equal common genetics. Not to mention there has been a population exchange between the two countries.

There is a desire on the Bharati side to seek 'commonality' with the Pakistani side, but the feeling is not mutual, unless you count Muhajirs & liberal class Sindhis.

It may well be the case, then. I live here and therefore don't get to meet many (any) Pakistanis. Years ago I'd met some Pakistanis who were here for a wedding and that's all I've even known.. Lahoris, very nice cultured folk and looked just like everyone else mostly apart from the accent which I found quite different.

Apart from that all I have is news, TV, interweb video bits. Bhot different to nahi lagtey, imo

Haan, but, these chhotu 4 footer scrawny malnourished ugly black Bihari, UP bhaiyya types.. those are an Indian special, dalits, chamaars etc

@Lulldapull

Pakistanis in India for a wedding?

Yes, my cousin married a musalman who had family and ancestral ties to Pakistanis so about a dozen or so contingent came down for it.
