Are Chughtais and Barlas same or different?

Re: Origin of Chugtais

well, welcome to the subcontinent. its a sealed box with a couple of inlets, and very few outlets. outside the very edges and isolated valleys, we are mongrels of varying shades, especially if you live in one of the gigantic river valleys like the indus (hello saraiki sindhi) or the ganges that has supported huge flourishing populations for millenia. nothing wrong with that.

Re: Origin of Chugtais

Chaughtais are supposed to look like uzbeks, but the ones in sub-continent are just like locals. e.g a chaughtai of punjab would look like punjabi while chaughati of bengal would look like bengali.

Re: Origin of Chugtais

This means Chughtais are somehow related to Uzbeks. Isn't it ?
