I did visit the link previously provided by you and read the whole content without interruption, ignoring and angering my spouse since I didn't turn up for dinner in time. It was indeed an interesting reading. I am delighted to know that majority of U.P. muslims have descended from indegineous population.
You are quite right, the majority of U.P muslims, infact most muslim males from the sub continent are closer to the indigenous Hindu population of India, since West Asian haplogroup E is almost non existant in Pakistan and India. There are some exceptions, for example, as this study suggests, "Out of 1021 samples in this study, only 17 samples showed E haplogroup and all of them were Shias. The 11.30 frequency does place Shias closer to Iraqis, Turks and Palestinians."
I thought ness was the great grandson of Jinnah. Jinnah’s wife was the one who was a zorastrian and not preity zinta. Preity was raised in a rajput family from shimla, himachal pradesh and on a couple of sites it says that her religion is Hinduism.
anyway, kafir zinta's dad's name is durganand, and mom's name is nilprabha. sounds pure smelly hindoo to me but what do i know.
lol i have to find more on zinta'z parents...but Quaid was Muslim n his daugher became Zoroastrian cuz she spent most of her time wid her grand parents (who were parseez)
