What they don't realize is that the situation of the Aryans was very different than that of the Persians, Arabs or others, for the Aryans are the ancestors of most modern-day Pakistanis, most likely alongside the native peoples of the Indus Valley.
As mentioned in another post of mine, Aryan does not necessarily mean a white-skinned person, but rather a person of wise or noble descent.
The word has it's roots in the Sanskrit word Aryaa meaning wise or noble.
Though I'm not entirely sure, I was reading on a forum that the literal meaning of Aarya was one who is ahead; hence more advanced.
This theory makes sense to me, as I've found words in Indo-European languages which contain the sound "A" at the beginning of words which indicate a forward direction.
For example the Urdu word for front "aagay" or words in English such as 'ahead' "again" (again indicating repeated cycles).
Even the word heir (pronounced Aa-yer) meaning a successor might be connected to "Aryan" or "Aarya," maybe having it's roots in an expression of after or beyond.
Though it's not a proven fact, it's a strong theory. Already the connection between most Pakistani and European languages is proven, thus pointing to the fact that most Pakistanis and Europeans do have common ancestry at least on Y-Chromosome lines:
We are the Aryans of Pakistan.
Most particularly this refers to those of Sindhi and Punjabi descent. The Aryans were the Sanskrit speakers who migrated from the Eurasian steppes along the Black Sea and later merged with the indigenous people of the Indus Valley. From their Sanskrit language came the modern languages of Punjabi, Sindhi, Urdu and other Indo-Aryan languages. About five centuries later they were followed by their distant relatives, the Iranic peoples.
Their descents are mainly the Pakhtuns and the Baloch. All languages derived from Vedic Sanskrit are Indo-Aryan languages and those who descend from the Vedic Aryans are the modern Indo-Aryans.
The descendants of the early Iranic peoples who came to Pakistan are mainly the Pakhtuns and the Baloch and their languages belong to the Iranic sect of Indo-Iranic.

The Dardic people of Northern Pakistan are also derived from Proto-Indo-Aryans however their isolated position in the mountains has allowed them to evolve differently from Punjabis, Sindhis and other Indo-Aryan populations in Pakistan.
Genetically, the people of the Kashmir Valley and Northern Areas are closer to Eastern Europeans given they stayed in isolation and did not mix as much with indigenous races. Such isolation also allowed their languages to evolve more distinct from other Indo-Aryan languages as well as each others languages which is why they are often given the separate classification of "Dardic."
This name was given to the land by the ancient Greek explorer Herodotus.
The isolation of the Indo-Aryans today known as the Dards has also allowed them to preserve many aspects of their culture, particularly the non-Muslim Kalash population who practice a continuation of the prehistoric Indo-European religion(s).
The Aryans who started arriving around the seventeenth century BC were the most significant invaders, being our ancestors and bringing with them the Sanskrit language which became most of Pakistan's main languages.
The other invaders were not as significant since they did not leave many descendants. If one is to search haplogroup maps on Pakistan, there is not much Semitic, Mediterranean or Turanian markers in the Pakistani population.
Pakistanis are the decedents of the Aryan invaders combined with the native population of the Indus Valley; though it is not clear who the Indus Valley people(s) were.
There might have been other populations passing through, the IVC could have been a multi-ethnic society, but there are too many unsolved mysteries about what Pakistan was like before the Aryan invasion of the region.
This article is a lie, so many Kashmiri words are exactly Sanskrit words,and they have haplogroup L in Kalasha people with R1a1 being more in Punjabis and Pashtun people, Majority of dards origins are in that area, they have no connection to Europe or anywhere similar to how a aborigines in Australia has no connection to an African person, the tribes of Europe are gog magog with R1b and I being common, the R1a for Europe is mixed with lots viking blood that's why the subclade is not similar to m17 at all, if you try to add some dark skin to a European they wouldn't look like a person from northern India they tried this when the movie Indiana Jones was released if you try to darken as Kalasha person up they would resemble a north Indian person.
ReplyDeleteUntrue. Dardic languages emerged on par with Sanskrit, not as a derivative of them. Kalash might have haplogroup L traces, but it does not remove the R1A from them. Their phenotypes are similar to eastern European. Because of their isolated position, many of them maintain closer to proto-Indo-Aryan phenotypes.
DeleteThey're phenotypes do not look European at all, they look like nothing more than de pigmented north Indian people, they tried in Indiana Jones one time to darken the skin color of the actors to see if they look Indian, it didn't work, simply because Indians and Kalasha cheekbones and facial structures are different from European, not to mention Europeans have a red undertone whereas the Kalasha do not, their phenotypes except for their blond hair mimic north Indian people, you're right they didn't mix up, but many people even within places of India still show Indo Aryan features, Hrithik Roshan, Neil Mukesh of Gujarat, and Imran Abbas of Pakistan, these people still have Indo Aryan features, genetically Kalasha are 20% ASI, which is a good amount, I agree, the original Pakistanis were Kalasha and Nuristani looking, but as you can see the nature of Punjabis vs Kalasha, the Kalasha represent a sedentary farmer Indo Aryan group while Punjabis are more than likely descendants of the warlike chariot riders from the Rig Veda that attacked the Dravidian people. Kashmiri is closest to sanskrit also many Pothwari Punjabis near attock are light skin themselves, R1a1 M17 is found highest in Bengali Brahmins on the whole planet, at 72%, Eastern Europeans have less R1a1 than people of south asia, Mohanna tribes are also 70%, Pashtuns are 52% R1a1 M17, also look, the subclade of Kalasha is also Indian R1a1, their Hinduism is the oldest branch of Hinduism also.
