yea, but you type like an fluent english speaker. i keep underestimating how many people there are on the internet that are from non english speaking countries while understanding english and english speaking internet culture.
most schools in big indian cities teach in english. so written english isn't really a problem for lower-middle class+ indians <25. its spoken english where the class divisiond become apparent.
filthy? royalist? isnt haryana punjab? whats difference?
What’s a royalist?
To my recollection, Haryana wasn’t historically associated with Punjab. Only until the Sikhs came and reunited it, along with Himachal Pradesh and the Punjab of today. There are only a few Punjabi-speaking people there compared to the Pahadi speakers (which is different from the Pahadi speakers in AJK, PK). I could be wrong however. But I read Haryanvis for instance identify as Haryanvi and not Punjabi.
I was born and raised in the Netherlands but I taught English myself (by watching TV shows as a little boy). Thanks for the compliment!
im still not wrong, for example pashtuns arent south asians linguistically as they are iranic, doesnt change the fact that kpk is south asian land
In the case of west Pakistan, historically it was inhabited by Indo-Aryans, therefore it is definitely South Asian land. Indo-Iranians came later, in the 11th century after infighting. It’s pretty funny.
i said it bc the brits governed haryana as punjab.
The Brits governed Haryana as Punjab because they conquered the Sikh empire which was controlling Haryana. But in modern sense, it’s actually a Punjabi ethno-nationalist take. For a little while I was a Punjabi ethno-nationalist but since some time ago I distanced myself from them. I just identify with my region these days.
broooo im not an angrezi cock sucker jfl
i wasnt serious tbh but have u noticed punjabis can have some mongoloid features at times? @TRUE_CEL
I met someone in Sheikhupura. He’s my uncles’ neighbor. His brother looks like he came straight out of Uzbekistan. When Islamic rulers were still ruling South Asia, some people from Central Asia settled in Punjab. Those people who look like that have roots in Central Asia. I think they are the offspring of the Mughals, since Mughals were East Asian/Central Asian. The Indic people claiming to be Mughals are pretty much assimilated into the surrounding populace. I know a Kashmiri who claims to be Mughal. His last name is literally Mughal but he looks South Asian with just a slightly lighter shade of skin color. He thinks he’s “white.” And he’s extremely autistic.
see thats the thing we have this weird obsession in south asia about wanting to associate with those who conquered us. they may well be mughal or they could have immigrated sometime much further in the past not like there were borders whoever was brave enough to bear the mountains could come.
mughlas are not turkic, they spke persian, most leaders were indo iranian, take away the first two leaders the rest are indo iranian
mihrakula and huns got destroyed by jats
whos that lol.
the article talks about alcon huns invading, these dudes were very warlike like mongols, and lost to jats
Alchon Huns were subhuman as fuck, they elongated their heads on purpose, go look it up and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Personally I just identify as South Asia, I don’t like cultures outside of South Asia (Islamic culture is not necessarily entirely foreign, due to purdah culture also being found in your community, for instance). I just proudly identify as South Asian.
The word Mughal is a bastardization of the word Mongol. But the later Mughals were a mix of Mongolic and Turkic. I’m talking about the OG rulers from Babur, Humayun, et cetera. The ones claiming to be Mughal while looking Indo-European are just LARPers.
like i said, only two leaders were turkic, even then, the empire was structureally indo iranic, aurangzeb, shah jahan, akbar, jahangir, shaha bahdur, shah alam were not turkic
| Mughal Empire | |
|---|---|
| Common languages | Persian (official and court language) Urdu (later given official status) Hindustani (lingua franca) Arabic (for religious ceremonies) Other Indian languages |
Ahh yes, like I said they became assimilated into the local populace. I was talking about Babur and Humayun being Turkic.
yeah true, its bevcause they took indo iranic wives, so later on the compoun efefct happened and turkic dna was non existent
they spoke persian because it was the language of the nobility throughout central asia at the time. nothing to do with their ethnicity if u look at aurangzeb for eg he looked hella turkic
brooo aruangzeb was ndian and persian majorty not turk
I don’t know about their wives but could be. I read some later rulers had Indic wives.
Because Pakistanis are still delusional and think there’s a thread binding all Islamic people together. I used to be delusional like this as well. But what names would you have suggested? Nuclear Rocket 3000 isn’t exactly professional.
yeah and ig the names "maurya" or "gupta" wont go down too well either. yall in a hard spot with how much u tried to dissociate from india and desanskritize. maybe name it "cyrus" or something lol
Yeah, those suggestions aren’t good, either. JFL. We have indeed dissociated from Bharat but it’s impossible to dissociate from the mighty Indus river. I would call myself Indian since I quite literally hail from the land of the Indus river but nowadays the term is associated with Bharat so I don’t use it. So I just claim to be Pakistani or South Asian, depending who I am talking to.
A better alternative would be renaming them to cities in Pakistan. Rawalpindi Rocket, Quetta Quaker, et cetera.
how do u feel about "hindustani"? thats what your great grandpa would've considered himself.
i just say jatt or punjbai tbh
and they come with their logos and fan bases
Back when our great-grandfathers were alive, it was one country so it made sense to say you came from India or Hindustan since the Indus River flowed in the same country. But nowadays people look at the Gangetic side of South Asia if you use these terms and I’m not from those areas myself.
That’s possible as well. My maternal side would claim to be Jatts but they also identify as Rajputs so it’s an entire clusterfuck, but in reality people who don’t know their roots are considered Jatts in the area my family is from.
JFL. They do sound like cricket team names, yeah.
