Re: An educational thread on the differences between Pakistanis and neighbouring populi

@roadrunner

I would like to draw the Mod’s attention to the fact that the differences between Pakistanis and Indians thread is now 4 pages with no educational evidence or value. I therefore insist on opening a new thread that is purely and utterly educationally based, unprovocative, and neutral. The first hint of some sort of India or Pakistan or other nationality bashing, and the offensive post gets deleted.

I will open with a couple of pieces of introductory scientific evidence, and then will get into specifics. Eveything in this thread should be referenced as it is an academic thread, pictures of people are welcome, ANY non referenced stuff will be deleted by the mods as will any posts aimed at insulting or being provocative. On with the first piece of evidence.

Haplogroups
A haplogroup is basically a DNA indicator of your ancestral line. As an example, all the people in the world who are Hg3 or R1a1, can trace their lineage back to the same paternal ancestor that lived around abouts 10,000 years ago. It is a poor indicator of relatedness amongst humans, but it is one.

Haplogroups of Pakistan (clickable map)

In particular pay attention to the orange part of the Pakistani ethnic groups (Hg3, also known as R1a1). Hg3/R1a1 can be found in every ethnic group in Pakistan

Now to look at Indian ethnic groups.

Haplogroups of India

One thing is clear. India contains a lot less Hg3/R1a1 in Eastern, Central and Southern ethnic group populations than Pakistan. Northwest India does contain some more Pakistani like groups however. Are these distinguishable. Later if the thread gets that far, the question will indeed be answered.

Roadrunner, you don’t have to do this research. First of all this will be a new topic for many of us. Eastern, Central and South Indians are culturally quite different from North Indians. See them, talk to them and QED. Why all this Jhamela.

*But the fact is all these races/ethnic groups have coexisted in Bharatvarsh since time immemorial. *

*Reliefs showing Hindu deities (narsimha) ‘Human head and Lion’s body’ have been found in Mexico. Vandev or tree worshiping was an ancient practice. Such symbols have been found even in Pyramids of Egypt. (www.hinduwisdom.info) *

*Societal influence was seen in far flung regions. Angkor vat has temples depict stories from Ramayan and Mahabharat. (Kim/Hur) Old Royal families of Korea had relations with India. Princess was from Ayodhya. *

When we talk about history we should be careful about which period of human history we are talking about. Life on this planet always goes through the cycle of creation, preservation and destruction. Nobody can change that.

I find that most of the members are so blinded by their faith that don’t even want to explore about others. Following religion is one thing…exploring and seeking knowledge is another. Latter seem to be low priority for many members.
