This thread is a response to the unjustified indignation at the idea that Pakistanis cluster with Indian populations, which lead some to claim I am a false-flagging Indian for merely restating what should be a commonly accepted fact.
Genetic research consistently shows that Pakistani populations, especially Punjabis, Sindhis, and Pashtuns, fall along a genetic gradient known as the Northwest Indic cline. This means they share a significant amount of ancestry with northern Indian groups and sit along a continuum that extends from Iran and Central Asia into South Asia. The root of this shared ancestry are the Indo-Aryan migration around 1500 BCE, which established a common ancestral pool across the region. For example, Punjabi Muslims in Pakistan are genetically very similar to Punjabi Sikhs and Hindus in India, who in turn, are very similar to ethnicities in Kashmir, Rajasthan, Haryana, UP, etc.
The reality is that though Pakistanis want to disassociate from the AASI-maxxed Gangetic Hindu, we are just steppe and zagros-shifted NW Indics who fundamentally share the same base ancestral heritage. The implications of this, which Pakistanis constantly try to hide from, is that the conflict between Islamic Pakistan and Hindu Bharat is not a war between Islam and Hinduism, but an Indic civil war where Muslim Indics are locked in a life-or-death struggle against the extremist Hindu Indic racial cult. This truth is difficult to acknowledge because so far, Muslim Indics have been losing this war. Muslim Indic power was completely smashed in their strongholds - Delhi and the Deccan. The Muslims who now reside in those lands have been systematically depoliticized and slowly dispossessed of their lands and property. The remnants of the Muslim Indic elite were pushed to the fringes of South Asia - Pakistan and Bangladesh, where they were able to build states which have so far completely failed to strengthen the position of Muslims Indics in the subcontinent. No matter how Pakistani nationalists try to cope with this loss with constructed narratives, the truth is in our genetics and heritage.
