Agree that many influences overlap. We can dilineate further and include more ancient influences, like Iran and the Aryans. Perhaps, in a strange way, this melting pot creates a stronger identity that any community needs in order to establish itself and protect itself biologically and socially.This is true I think for all women. Unfortunately, we are at a disadvantage given Euro-centric beauty standards and the de-religionization of the world. Something I feel our British Pakistanis live in a bubble within their own niche community - no offense to you guys. I'm seeing many Pakistani women marrying outsiders Muslim or not Muslim. I don't see as many men, but then Its true for all men. The women have achieved complete freedom of movement which includes choosing their own lifestyles. They are not marrying, they are having zina relationships with just about everyone. Everyone is headed off the cliff. I consider you guys my friends so not trying to disparage the UK British community.
It took me a while to understand that our culture is a derivative of the Anglo + Islamic culture. I would even add the Eastern side of Pakistan there are three dominating cultures - Anglo (western), Islamic, and remnants of the former Hindu/Pagan wrapped in "Islam."
Long story short - we're all cooked
Perhaps, Islam is the main glue that binds this community (though of course, non-muslim Pakistanis do fall under this overarching "protectorate", as was likely always Quaid's intention - I digress...).
However, we are certainly not cooked! And the reason - irony intended - we are not cooked is because we are a product of a melting pot.
