Pashtuns or Pathans can be original aryans

 

What does that mean heavily Pakistanizd??  what kind of non-sense is that?  Pashtuns have inhabited the lands of Pakistan for several thousand years.  If anything, technically, they are real Pakistani and literally, pure.  While it is true that many Pashtuns have fair features, they are the exception rather than the norm, and that goes for Pashtuns from Afghanistan or Pakistan, ethnically and phenotypically there is no difference between the two.  Being a Pashtun myself from Khyber agency (tribal agency), such comments are futile and lacks any factual base.  I dont know why people single out the few that are unique and hold them to be the standard, a common practice in South Asia, and try to make differences between the Pashtuns across the Durand Line; Pashtuns are one and the same, and from what i've seen, look very much the same wether from Pakistan or Afghanistan.  In fact, we have many family members who have married Pashtuns from across the border in Afghanistan, and not that its of any concern, they are of a darker shade than us but for all practical purposes, look the same so I dont know whats being tried to be insinuated here.  Sure, while in comparison to Urdu-speaking mohajir indian refugees and some other tribes in Pakistan they are considerably of a lighter shade, but Pashtuns are not the ''fairest'' in Pakistan contrary to popular belief.  In Afghanistan, many Pashtuns are considered dark in comparison to the northern Persian tribes.  Even in Iran, the few Pashtuns there are considered darker.  The Pashtuns as an ethnic group on their own, have a look all unto themselves that is easily recognizable by Pashtuns themselves.  In areas where Pashtuns live closed to other groups, some admixture has taken place.  In the case of Pakistan, some of the fairest Pashtuns are those that have ''mixed'' in (or become Pakistanizd as you say) with the Dardic tribes of the north, or Kohistani or even Kashmiri, and as a result, now have pronouncely fairer features, while in Afghanistan, those that have mixed in with the Turkic tribes(eg. Ghilzai) or northern tribes(farsiwan) have more pronounced and ''fairer'' features.   last time I checked the Pashtuns have lived on the west bank of the indus for several thousand years and are generally considered to have originated from the Sulaiman mountains of South West Pakistan.  Pashtuns have mixed with various invaders and people(s) in history, other examples are the Pashtuns of Wardak, who after conquering parts of Bamiyan, often have strong Hazara features, other Pashtuns such as the one's in Herat, some have  more of a ''Herati'' look than a Pashtun one, in Pakistan the Pashtuns in Attock and Hazara district have intermixed with Panjabi and share some of their phenotypic features, while those in north look more dardic with fair skin and an increased incidence of coloured eyes and blonde/brown hair.  Historically they have mixed with Scythians, Huns, Turks, Greeks amongst many others; the point is, most if not all of these mixtures occurred several thousand years ago and are not ''recent''.  Also, if you've studied anything about Aryan tribes, you'd know, that the Aryan tribes only passed through the mountainous Pashtun tribes area  after much difficulty with only some admixture with the tribes controlling vital passes and ended settling the fertile lands of five rivers (Panjab) who are universally accepted as being the recipients of Aryan genes and culture in this part of the world and also if I may add, a people who do not have blonde hair etc...
