Not Indian it’s Pakistani in the Kpk province the gandharan genetics are closer to the hindikowans ethnic groups not Indians they are named after a colony

@@zeezee5379 Genetics don't mean culture, but I see your point

​@@zeezee5379 Pakistan didn't exist and we call this region "India" in historiography. Cheers.

​@@zeezee5379and when he says Indian, referring to the Buddha, what else do you want to call him? He was from Lumbini, in present day Nepal, of Hindu culture.

Can you tell me is gandhara civilization older than indus valley civilisation

@@jarvis5085 No it isn't. The Indus Valley civilization is a Bronze Age Civilization that existed from approximately 3,000BC-1,300BC. Meanwhile Gandhara was inhabited around 1500BC.

@@Carnage1998tm thanks for the Intel.I wonder how a man called Budhha had such an great influence that in gandhara civilization they made his sculptures and idols. People say he was normal man who achieved enlightenment.But why is he portrayed as a god in all this sculptures? And again people here in India says that Hindu is the oldest religion then why no sculptures of Hindu gods are found in archeological survey of Indus valley civilization.

@@jarvis5085 There are actually images of a so called proto shiva from the Indus civilization

@@valensoldat8726 not images but seal which is interpreted as Pashupati seal

The pashtuns arrived much later in the Gandhara region, around the 15th and 16th centuries from western Afghanistan, the region was more hindko/dardic and indo aryan was spoken in thr swat valley until pashtunization

No not Greek blood, North Pakistanis have a more pale complexion compared to Greeks and there’s Afghans and Pakistanis who have coloured hair and eyes while most Greeks have dark hair and eyes. Greek DNA in Pakistan is mainly found amongst the Punjabi’s and Kashmiris as well as Pashtuns and can be as much as 15%.

@@Alakhana You may be surprised to know that I fully agree with what you say. Having said. that, you are the one who shows prejudice. I don't agree with colonialism, I am an Italian educated in Britain, only because speaking and writing in the English language as you do, opens the world of knowledge sand transcontinental communication. What I would like to say to you is that Alexander's design when he set out to conquer the Persia, or the Iranian speaking world, he intended to open the way to a cultural syncretism and thus generate a universal civilization. His program was successful because the Western civilization to which wee all belong now, is the result of Alexander's conquest, The fall of the Greek and Roman world, was followed by this syncretic civilization that it is the global civilization to which we want to belong. Alexander founded 17 Alexandrias in the far East and these caused a syncretism by adding to the Greco-Roman civilization, Indian, Persian, Chinese, nomadic elements that generated the world we all adhere to.The fact thst yopu speak English, probably drive a car and use a.computer is the tangible evidence ow w hat I say. I published a book explaining all this and it was. written in English, in order to reach people. of any provenance : Giovanni Caselli: "Orient Express and the Making of the West", Blogging books, Germany 2015. Congratulations for your research and discoveries. Best regards G. Cas
