Re: Nouraz mubarak!
pretty much all central-asians of iranic tribal heritage celebrate it. interesting even kashmiri pandits celebrate this. iranians are really good at making central asian culture look like its iranian, but its mostly vice versa. a LOT is stolen heritage-wise from the afghans, especially the northern afghans.
Re: Nouraz mubarak!
What do you mean by stolen heritage? Doesn’t that make each nation chor 
Re: Nouraz mubarak!
well muqawee.. its something like this - as you are pretty familiar, rajputs, for example.. are not just one particular tribe from say..mewar in rajasthan. but if rajasthan happened to be the last remaining center of a once rich empire, the only place where history is maintained, translated to english, books written, wikipedia updated etc, while the rest of the region was embroiled in cold war, russian/chinese/turkish secularist cultural erasure, within a few years "rajputs" would be defined as people from mewar. this is what iranians have done. they have claimed every significant culturally significant event, persons, places in a vast region that far exceeds the boundaries of present day iran, central asia where iranic languages and cultures that grew side by side with farsi, but later died out due to turkic and mongol invasions, as part of the much narrower persian empire. if you have afghan friends, it would be really amusing to hear their side of the story. especially about rumi or even about ahmed shah abdali.
Re: Nouraz mubarak!
but doesnt central asian countries call there culture turkic culture?
Re: Nouraz mubarak!
Ahmed Shah Abdali is treated like hero in Pakistan's history academic books, instead of the fact that Sufi poet like Bhulleh Shah condemned him in his poetry. So conquerors always have their own version of history, where they present conquered one as evil and culture-less creatures.
Re: Nouraz mubarak!
ninja, thats a good question.
and the answer is quite controversial. but by and large, these lands were populated by iranic tribes that moved further and further south, as "turan (land of the turks from shahnameh)" moved into "iran". migrations as well as assimilation into turko-mongolization (try googling the y-chromosome of chengis khan). if anything afghan dari speakers have as much claim to a lot that gets passed off as "persian" or iranian in today's context. anyway this is a different topic altogether.. but the true spread of nouroz is over the lands that were previously iranic peopled, and it extends over a large area..
Re: Nouraz mubarak!
Which brings us back to .......
Nouvroz Mubarak
(to Iranian Central Asian, Turcik, Mongoloid Rajputs and others that celebrate Nouvroz)
