Finding my heritage ..

Re: Finding my heritage ..

@Chicken_Biryani

I am at crossroads .. I have been trying to read up on various things that could potentially help me understand where my ancient ancestors belonged to , who they were , what religion they followed.

But I am confused because I really dont know where to start from , I know where my grandparents were from back in India .. but dont know anymore then that. Some people said , you find out more about your caste and then you try to speak to people and find out where people of that caste come from .. like in my case its “Araai” , I have heard the roots go to Iranian heritage then some claimed that all Araai’s used to be hindu so their roots will be more in the subcontinent ..

Has anyone gone down their heritage journey? what kind of leads did you follow? other then the obvious ones, like asking the immediate family etc ..

When i met an arain guy from Pakistan i thought he was an Iranian becoz i have met many Iranians who looked like him. I said to him his ancestors must be from Iran but he didnt know much about his ancestral roots.

If wr go by the looks then it makes sense that many of these people don’t originate in India.
