2 reasons why.
1. They share overall genetic closeness, though the distance is quite large if you compare it with others. Even among ethnics, your more Afghan-shifted “deathnic curries” like Tamils are 2x closer to Afghans than Northern Europeans are, 4x closer than any Southeast Asian, and 8x closer than any African.
The two groups share the same root DNA. What differs is the AASI (Australoid South Indian) admixture, which holds Indians back from "mogging" as hard as Afghans. I've seen non-Euro-looking Afghans with extremely robust bone structure.
The difference lies in proportions: Afghans have around 10–15% AASI, while Indians average around 50%. This means any mixture between the two would be so genetically similar that you literally couldn't tell the difference. Because of this, I don’t count Indian-Afghan mixing as real race mixing. True race mixing would be between an Indian and a European, East Asian, or Sub-Saharan African.
2. Their phenotypes overlap due to shared Iran Neolithic and Steppe ancestry. Even though it's higher in Pashtuns, it's still present in Indians. That’s why you see phenotype overlap — something you don’t really see between most Indians and East Asians or Indians and Europeans. You do see white-passing Afghans, but you also see white-passing Indians if they are depigmented. Overall, Indian facial structure is closer to Pashtuns, while Afghan faces lean more Persian.
Because of all this, I don’t consider mixing between the average Indian and Afghan to be actual race mixing — unless it’s someone with heavy AASI like a Paniya. Don’t get me wrong, AASI types can "mog" too, but they have weaker features on average. Indians with more Afghan blood tend to mog more often. You can see this clearly in groups like Jatts and Khatris, who show more Afghan-shifted phenotypes and are genetically around 75% similar to Afghans. The average Tamil, by comparison, is around 50%.
