When I read of these interesting groups in the more geographical fringe parts of south Asia I anticipate with irritation the moment someone thousands of miles away claims and dictates their heritage for them.

The Kalash are considered here as a tribe we should be supporting and protecting(as Greece),because of them being partly descendants of Alexander's soldiers and the Greco-Bactrian kingdoms.

There have been various "expeditions" by Greek professors,scientists and others to Kalash villages. The funny thing is that,after some time,the Slavs of FYROM found some other tribe,in Pakistan I think,and went there to start relations with them as "Macedonians"...lol

We tested their genes and no link to neither Greece nor Macedonia. Pashto wahabbi was blabbering hes semitic lost Israeli tribal, so we tested him and he turned out to be central asian tribal small part mongol mostly Indian......lol.

Many others got tested for various claims, and they all turned out to be local pendu.

All claims debunked bro. :p

Aaaaaaahahahahahaaaaa

Many guys after getting humbled, disappeared due to the collapse of the narrative. Their worlds collapsed.

I've no doubt they are largely "localized" by now. It's like..2,100 years? How long since the Greco-Bactrian kingdoms collapsed?

By the way,it's not "Macedonia",those wankers are Slavs. Just call them FYROM.

Did you watch the interview? If yes please explain any other reason why you think is my statement is wrong.
I didn't, but did the interview say most Pakistani are literally wanting what you say? Like it's a nation wide effort

I don’t think she has guts to say like that if want to live in Pakistan but it is is very obvious from her answers.

See following video and understand contribution of people who pretty much have been to erased from Pakistan history.
