Need input from punjabis on the similarities between these two hairy races of the world what is the differences? And how come pakjabi have worse beard growing genetics?
I'm also northwest indian. Does that mean I share DNA with topi wallay funny looking Sindhi and inbred pakjabi?Yes they were Hindus before , north and West Indians share same DNA as Sindhi and pakjabis

paaji are sindhi girls hot???Chances r there. Well other than Sindhi there south Punjab called Bahawalpur also
Sir I have seen those greater Punjab type maps before and I suppose you can classify those languages as dialects of punjabi, however the punjabi identity has morphed into something that is exclusive to Sikhs more or less and especially the Jatt Sikhs. All of those other areas have varying ethnic composition in terms of caste and non ethnic differences such as religion. Plus on the peripheries of this map you find that phenotype does change as well. Hindkos look very different from a punjabi from Jalandhar. As such the punjabi identity belongs to those living in the Indian Punjab and those in Pakistani Punjab, though again Pakistani Punjab is much more diverse.How is Race defined ? As a rule of thumb, we use linguistics (and cultural traits) to distinguish a Race, therefore all people who speak Punjabi or its dialects can be considered of one Race.
However, Punjabi speaking people genetically have had a higher amount of variation and similarity with Western Asia and Europe as compared to Rest of India, due to invasions and their geographic proximity to these areas.

I think you have gone off on a different tangent.Sir I have seen those greater Punjab type maps before and I suppose you can classify those languages as dialects of punjabi, however the punjabi identity has morphed into something that is exclusive to Sikhs more or less and especially the Jatt Sikhs.

Also many cultures are changing and have changed a lot. I don't know about others but the dogra culture has changed certainly. How many punjabis drink the pink Kashmiri sheer chai? How many eat nadru or even know what that is? How many eat kadam? How many eat dum aloo? You probably don't even know about most of these but these are all a regular part of dogra cuisine now, adopted from Kashmiris. Cultures morph. The only ones who are zealous about their punjabi identity are the Sikhs and as such it belongs to them.
