Talk:Punjabis

i think this page should be renamed Punjabi People, like it is with everyother ethnic group to distinguish between turkish people and turkish language for example.

Imran Khan

Imran Khan is not a Punjabi, he is a Pashtun. Please remove is photo from the article. No, he is punjabi, he is from the Mianwali are of punjab which is inhabited by ethnic pashtuns, like other areas are inhabited by jats, rajputs, gujjars for example. its like saying british people are biritsh, theyre angles and saxons and hence germans. thats silly.

Reply: Imran Khan is an ethnic Pashtun, he is not a Punjabi. Stop trying to steal other people and claim them as Punjabis when they are not.

Dravidian element

the comment about inferiority complex was extremly rascist. are you saying its wrong to be dravidian? you are a rascist person.

Reply: The only people with an inferiotity complex are those Punjabis who try to deny that they have Dravidian or partial Dravidian ancestry. Get over it. Punjabis have Dravidian blood, you can never escape this.

that is a very rascist comment. i shall report this to wikipedia at once if you dont stop implying having dravidian blood is inferior, as was having jewish blood to the nazis.

Reply: By constantly removing the the line about Punjabis have Dravidian ancestry it is you who is obviously got an inferiority complex and feels ashamed of his/her ancestors. Also, Punjabis do not have "Persian" or "Mongol" blood. Please take a look in the mirror. A Punjabi would never pass as a Persian or Mongol, LOL. Just be honest and accept what you are, ie, a subcontinent person.

you are sooo rascist, i never said im not a subcontinent person. thats silly! ofcourse i am, as are all punjabis, thing is were very different from the rest of the subcontinent, not that that makes us iranic or whatever. but i want proof there is dravidion blood in "most sections of the punjabi population" before i let you say something about my people.

Reply: Read any history book that covers ancient history of the subcontinent and its Punjab region. Dravidians inhabited Punjab long before Aryan migrations and Dravidian element continues among Punjabi population, most predominantly in subgroups like the Chamars, Tarkhans etc but also in virtually every other subgroup.

Punjabis are mainly an admixture of Indo-Aryans and Dravidians. I dont know why Punjabis have a problem accepting this. You're not Iranian or Turk or whatever LOL. Please, Punjabis need to get over this inferiority complex and just accept what they are.

Culturally yes Punjabis are different from other subcontinent communities. They have their own language, traditions, foods, music, literature etc But racially they are linked to rest of the subcontinent.

Im sorry but dream on if you think Punjabis are either culturally or ethnically linked to Iran or Mongolia.

i never said that. you nitwit. we are in no way iranic or turkish or mongolian. we are subcontinent but very different. all of pakistan is. as allama igbal said "pakistan is for the muslim peoples of north west of the subcontinent" and we are very different from you and the subcontinent in many more ways than "language, traditions, foods, music, literature" compare a average man from uttar predesh and a man from rawalpindi and you will see the difference. the whole mindsets are different. a man from uttar pradesh will probably be dark and dravidian while the punjabi mich lighter skinner (and yes he probably will have dravidian blood in him) but you are very persistent arent you? before you say i am. im just dont want to be told something about my people unless i see evidence and hence i will keep editing it untill i see proof and i shall inform wikipedia about this.
