Your ethnic background

Well, the following is all I know :-

Our great great great "I don't know who" was from

Iran ---> Kashmir ---> Punjab (Pakistan).

I'm Irish.

I am all human all the time. 100% human. Anyone else?

My family's (fathers side) ancestoral home is in Fatehjang, but they moved to Attock town, Hassan Abdal in the early 1900s. We are Rajputs.

RajPut, very nice. hey have you heard of the theory cliaming Rajputs as the tribes of Pakhtuns. Coz on tv i saw those Rajputs who were lighter in skin and had traditions alike us, eg. homes and daily lifestyle. nways you might not know. and that CHANDARGUPTTA was also Pakhtun and some other pre-Islamic Empires in areas around northern India.

ME = 1000% Pashtun / Afghan by blood.
Dad = Pure Pakhtun from Balkh
Mum = Pure Pukhtana from Paktya
Muslim - Aryan - Afghan (Pakhtun) - Ghilzai
thus it makes me a fully Afghan blooded Aryan.

@ Saif Wrora, bro i don't think much of our scholars agree with this theory. we have proved through relics founded in our areas that we are ARYANZ, the RIG-VEDA and ZARDASHT Saint were all Pashto speakers. there are heaps of Pashto folkloric songs in Rig - Veda which are still sung in our society. bro i think this is a propagenda to make us unreal inhabitants of this area, they say that we migrated to this land but the truth is that we have been living here since pre-historic times. but i think there is a long way to go and come up ith a proper and real conclusion about our origin.

Now it is getting more and more interesting here. Their castes and the origin of their castes. Someone claimed earlier that he/she was a Gakkar who came with Babar in this region, and now this lady claims to be an Arian who originated from Syria.

hey hey, my question was just based on what someone told me I am not sure myself so I don't claim anything.

Aryan bro, I have heard of that theory. I am not sure if that is true or not. Pure Rajputs as far as I know match up in honor, tradition to Pakhtuns. Have you heard of the Scythian theory about the Rajputs? It claims that Scythians who were these Central Asian horsemen came in waves of attacks into India and Pakistan. I can't say if it is true or not. I think a lot of Rajput blood has been corrupted, the honor lost. If you ever visit Attock area please do let me know, there are still a few pure blooded Rajput villages remaining.

I did not know that about Chandragupta, its good to learn something new. I am very proud to know that my ancestors converted to Islam by choice not by fear. My favorite quote: "The eyelids of a Rajput are lowered only in death."

isn't it obvious.

I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. You can call yourself whatever you want, it is your personal matter. By the way are "Arian" and "Aryan" the same thing?

Can you please tell me where have you read it?

the RIG-VEDA and ZARDASHT Saint were all Pashto speakers.

They spoke an early form of Sanskrit. Or are you saying that they were the forefathers of todays Pakhtuns?

Rajput Bro, i am looking up for a good resource i will also give to you. Well i personally think it might be true coz they are aunique from other typical INDIANS, i didnt know but when i saw it on TV i was just amazed...they wore the same female cloths as ours..and had their TURBANS done like us...and also the lifstyle which matters alot. yeah i have and there is no doubt. the Sythians wer a ARYAN tribe. i also read in a book that when ISLAM ariived in AFGHANISTAN the Rajputs fleed coz they didnt wana convert into ISLAM so thats why they became seperate ethnic like from us. yeah offcourse, i am going this november..inshallah i'll see whati find there.

Yes well indeed it is, for me it was very interesting coz most of our history has been hidden and lost. Same here bro our ANCESTORS left us PROUD. bro that is same saying in our language and we have another similar... goes like this: "The Shamla (TURBAN) of a Afghan / Pakhtun is only lowered when praying to GOD"..it goes smthing like this...but yeah see the similarities...
nways i'll try to find some more info on this for u...okz...till then keep well.

Da Allah Pa Aman

Aryan bro, your 100% correct. If you look at all of India, you will find no other group that is as fearless and war like. But you know what the Rajput problem is? They never unite.

Aryan bro, there are many people who claim to be Rajput but look like dravidians...I am very sad that many of the pure bloodlines have been lost but there are still some remaining.

I like the way you think, bro. The only people who lie about there ancestors, are those who weak and feel shameful about them. We should be proud of what our forefathers did and NEVER let them down. In my tribe, if I would do something wrong, I would be insulting my ancestors. Without ghairat, there is point in living.

Keep up the good work :)
