Oh please the Greeks settled all over what is now Afghanistan and Pakistan. Hell several cities were even founded by them, Sirkap, Sialkot called Sangla then, Jhelum, Kandahar etc.
 
So the Macedonian theory is out.
 
And as Afghanan, said such features are common to that area, where the Nuristanis/Kalsah live. Light hair/ eyes are common enough in that region.
They are "caucasoid" after all.
 
 
 
I know enough about greeks to write a book LOL.
Nuristanis do have the mixed Greek culture from their forefather (Greeks and Afghans). Genitic have not proven nuristanis as Greeks or macedonian.  Just like we can't find semitic gene in Yousifzai's , although Apradies could be semitic its either from 10 lost tribe of Isreal from 1000 BCE (In Herat) or from Arab settlers, which is not known, but they give more signs of present Arabs.
 
Light hair is common among Afghans.
Green eyes are also very common among Afghans duo to regional and environmental affects. (genetically there is no difference between Green eyes and Brown not like south indian/African Dark eyes)

Whether Patriotic, or Nationalist, they have to be from Afghanistan, not from Maryland, USA like Hamid Karzai.

NO.  too many tribes live in Afghanistan,( 80%) of Afghans are from the Aryano-Afghan race. Again Aryano/Irano-Afghan is Race. They look the same. Act the same, etc.
 
Afghanistan has more tribes then any nation in this world. I thinK its 60 tribes in Afghanistan alone.
 
65-70% of Iran are also Irano-Afghan race.
70 % of Turkmenistan are also from Irano-Afghan race.

 They used to follow the old Greek religion, gods like Zous was known to Kafiris.Greeks didn't influnced the afghan population. Few greeks came with their families and settled in Nuristan, infact more greeks settled in western iran then Eastern Iran. Eastern iran was known as hell.
 
So I don't think many would settle there. Today maybe 15% of nuristanis could be liftovers of Alexanderous and have been mixed with local Afghans. So it would be hard to find pure greek.

Nick, you are sick.

there are plenty of afghans studying in my university. they are different.
 
while such stupid "Aryans" exist, your country (afghanistan) will never stand up.
 
Turkmens are not "Aryan", they have another cult - Prophet Turkmenbashi.
 
nick, you dont know the history, you dont know Mavarounnahr, Khorasan.
 
All you know is "gipsy" Aryan.
 
true aryans are central asian gipsies (or "luli"). Scientists have already proved it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
