Indians and pakistanis of same ethnic origin

Are indians and pakistanis of the same origin or mixed?

They used to be, but after partition a lot of Pakistanis have discovered Arabs and Central Asians in their Ancestral Trees if V.S.Naipaul is to believed.

who is naipul and what does he say and what do you say about how different they look and all those muslim invaders/settlers from the west starting 1200 years ago.

why is the thread closed?

V.S> Naipaul is a Nobel Prize winning author of Indian Origin.
I forget the name of the book.
But he travelled thorugh countries with Converted populations, like Pakistan, Malaysia etc.,

What do you mean convered people. In islam everyone is converted.

why you started the same topic in two different threads?
