Menu eik gal dass.. why some Pathans also look like Madrasi? Look at Jahangir Khan, the famous squash player.. he looks like one mota, kala madrasi.. thick lips, dark skinned and thaali like flat face. If you look at Wasim Akram on the other hand, he can easily play World cup soccer finals for Italy- cuz he looks so freakin' Italian... it could also be possible that all Pathans are Indians and all their claims that they are centrial asians might be fake :D

Just because someone has a "Khan" surname does not make them Pashtun. In fact some people use this surname and claim to be Pathans in India. Jahangir Khan does not look Pathan to me.

Pathans, the real ones anyway, are more or less white behind the tan. Look at the Pakistani cricket team. Shahid Afridi and Younis Khan are the only two Pathans there. Compare them with the rest of the squad from other areas and there is a huge difference in their looks. Wasim Akram does look Punjabi, that is true.
