Oh and regarding the haplogroups you are correct Pakistan is almost entirely R1A geneticly with a pinch of Q, J1 and significant L markers carried by the mohajirs & perhaps the brahuis.

No it's not. A small percentage is found in the Kalash, because scientists propose that people of haplogroup L crossed over from Africa into inida and left small trails of it wherever they passed through its also found in Tajikistan and part of Uzbekistan & Afghanistan

Chitralis, culturally speaking,  in fact have more in common with a Turkmen, Tajik or Hazara than with Nuristanis.

This is because of socio-political reasons more then anything else. The people of Upper Chitral (The Khow) have always traded almost exclusively north of the Hindukush. Even linguistically, Khowar (although a Dardic language) has many elements from the Ghalcha languages (Wakhi, Shugnani, Sarikoli etc.) Farsi was the language of the state and the educated class until the 1950's.
 
This is why Chitralis are so different from the other Dardic peoples, who remained far more isolated. As a result of this the Nuristanis (and even the Kalash) have more in common with the people of Diamer and Kohistan than with their neighbours the Khow.
 
It was only during the 1800's that the Chitrali State started interacting/trading with the Pashtuns of Kunar, Dir and Swat. Culturally, Pashtuns and Chitralis have little in common.

Can you provide any examples of this? For example do Chitralis use yurts like Turkmens, Uzbeks or other Altaic peoples or other exmaples?

it is also quite feasable to say that the highlands of Afghanistan once belonged to Pakistan. The main confusion arises because of the name "Afghanistan" which Pakistan is no longer known by. There are currently more Pashtuns in Pakistan than in Afghanistan also. < id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

yes they were under Sikh rule. You are also right about the Pashtun question. Eastern Afghans being caucasianoid have more in common with Pakistanis then they do with their countrymen in the northwestern parts of Afghanistan whom are racially Mongoloid.
 
 
And recent material i read on wikipedia (cant trust it to be true) claims that the eastern afghans migrated out of western Pakistan and settled into eastern Afghanistan

Uzbeks my friend do not live in Yurts and are not at all nomadics.
 
Some examples would be our music, cuisine (the the most famous dish of Chitral is Kalli or laghman as it is known as farther north) and dress (the Shuka), in the past all of these things were even more strongly indicative of Central Asian influence  but it is dminishing. Our upper classes no longer wear the the small Central Asian turbans and silken chappan robes, and few people speak Farsi.

Her clothing seems to be Uzbek but she must be from some nomadic group, close to Uzbeks, living in Uzbekistan. Most probably Karakalpak.

The Uzbeks are not at all nomadic, the Uzbeks and Uyghurs are the only two completely non-nomadic groups in Central Asia.
 
By the way, even the traditional wedding jewelry of our women is of the same type as hers, incuding the headdress.

She's clearly Uzbek as the website states. 
 Almost all Altaic peoples lead nomadic lifestyles and own yurts.
 
Well Uzbek culture is somewhat influenced by Iranic cultures like Pashtun and Persian so that's maybe where you'll find a 'connection'.
 
But most of their culture, genetics & linguistics matches those of other Altaic nations. Azerbaijanis and Antatolians don't really count since they are mostly Altaic by language not by race or culture.

Agreed. It is the Iranic element that links us.
 
Classic Persian culture has always been the High Culture of Central Asia, until the Russians showed up anyway.
