@Ahmed_Fayyaz

@Nina85

Sure, ok..part of different Pakistani ethnic groups..but still generally Pakistani nonetheless. So What I meant by mixed backgrounds was children born out of unions where parents are from different nationalities I guess?

No, maybe because Pakistan has only a few major ethnic groups esp. outside of Pak they say that; but saying both my parents are Indian for example doesn’t mean anything.

@Syraa

Not sure if this counts as I’m not biracial, but both my parents come from mixed backgrounds. My mum is Pakistani/Malay and my dad is Pakistani/Persian. That being said the Malaysian and Persian identities have had very little influence on my upbringing so I tend not to bring it up as it just ends up confusing people.

Pakistani what tho? Punjabi?? That sees to be the default meaning..

I have an interested mix family. My great grandfather on my mom’s side was actually from Srinigar and was orphaned and human trafficked to Lahore, adopted by a Muslim couple and ardently became a Muslim. He spoke Kashur and was born to a Brahmin family. So whenever I see a Mirpuri say they are Kashmiri or a Punjabi say they are Pathan I know how full of $hitt they are.

Mom’s great grandfather were King Nadir Shah’s doctor and Pakhtun from Afghanistan. A good portion, I would say 1/6 of my family still speaks Pakhtu wa za poegam kho khabre kawal mushkal de…largely because my mom was born and after the age of 11 raised in Lahore (vs Peshawar). So yeah we are legimiately Pakhtun and Punjabi but have become Punjabified like a lot of Pakhtuns who settled in Multan have…who still kept customs like attan (dance) but adopted the local language.

Anyone who thinks Pakhtun and Punjabi are the same are sorely wrong. Probably one of those Punjabis who is so confused and ashamed of their own identity they say dumb ****t like “I am Pathan” “I am Kashmiri” “I am Arab” without having any linguistic knowledge of cultural knowabout.

Also seriously Indian and Pakistani? Most of you Punjabis nad Mohajirs were and are sitll of the same culture as most of them, watch their movies etc. I don’t know why Punjabis especially can’t accept this idea they were Hindus who were converted. Yet uphold ‘syed’ blood from Arabs. Talk about an inferiority complex. What more is that I would say 90% of these people are UK Pakistanis who are more Pendhu than Pakistani Phendus.

Ameristanis to the rescue!

Well, good thing Punjabi side of your family owned Nadir Shah. But, yea I’ve heard dumb stuff from Punjabis on how we’re peace-loving people who chose to surrender to British too. I’m like what?? We made them surrender.. It was small group of Hindu rulers and Sikh generals who betrayed everyone else;

Where did this Pathan and Punjabi being same thing come from? Peshawar to Khyber would be in afghanistan and not Pakistan if that were true.

Please tell police, and get them to beat the crap out of any Punjabi who calls themself this or that. I mean beside akbar there wasn’t even any real foreign rule in Bharat, let alone ‘1000 years of muslim(arab) rule’. And even he basically gave full freedom to rajasthan and punjab just like the british after him, to capture the rest of ‘india’; so where do they become mixed from? Ghazni having to try 16 times before succeeding in invading Punjab aka Pak doesn’t allow for a lot of time for the mixture they seem to want..

The only thing it allows for is him running away since we didn’t use to kill Kings.
