Kashmir and central Asia

Kashmir definatly doesn't have anything to do with your south india or eastern india (bengal), maybe it does have similarities to places like Himachal or even northern punjab, but it also shares a lot with places like northern pakistan, afghanistan and Tajikistan.

^ the article clearly says its shouldn't also be part of pakistan, but pakistan is more closer to kashmir then current India is. Pakistanis are 30% iranic, and also northern parts of punjab are pretty close to kashmiries

Its immature saying so.Kashmir may have many things to do with South Indians & bengalis. India have people of different ethnicities living in it.We dont discriminate based on it.Now you are classifying us and himachalites,punjabies,bengalis and south indians.You seem to have gone blind because of your racial prejudice.   what do kashmiries really have to do with bengalis or south indians? i mean maybe the pandits share the same religion, but thats it, the muslims kashmiries have nothing to do with them at all

^ lol totally cherry picking, and who is to say that these south indians did not arrive from north india? even your famous Ashawariya Rai has north indian roots, Pure south indian with no outside influence looks like this:

^ i am not denying at all that pakistan has darkskinned people, infact a good 30-40% of population, especially in Sindh and southern punjab is darkskinned

^my point the more south you go the different people get, obviously people close to kashmir like from himchal will have large similaties, but as you go south, all the way to tamil nadu the different you get

Nairs and Nambudiris of Kerala are known to have migrated to south from Ahichatra of Uttar Pradesh during Kadamba Vanavasi rule in South.Kadamba Vanavasi King Mayura Varman invited the Nagavamsi Kshatriyas of Ahikshetra(Ahichatra) to his kingdom for strengthening its borders and protecting it.These nagavamsis later divided int 3 groups one being the Kodavas(Coorgis) of Coorg Shettys ,Bhandaris & Rais (Tulu  bunt Community) of Mangalore and Nairs(Nambiar,Menon,Pillai Kurup and many other subgroups) Of Kerala. Aishvarya Rai belongs to Tulu bunt community.

^ i have a question, since you are from kashmir. Are kashmiri pandits really from kashmir? because whenever i see kashmiri pandits they look more (indian) to me then lets say muslim kashmiries, by indian i mean they are usally more darkskinned and speak in Indian accent, but when i see muslim kashmiries they look more dardic or even afghan in origin, I thought they were the same people?

^^ yeah and Kashmiri Muslims were also originally Kashmiri Pandits. This is clear from their surnames.
