By punjabi I mean the Indus valley civilization... punjbis being the dominant...Gujrati is not a caste as Sindhi or Punjabi is not...There are Balochs in unjba that congregated in this area when anarchy was the order of the day..similarly in Sindh, there are Baluchs, and Punjabis....Mahras and Jatois...

It was presumptious on my part to declare Gandhi a Punjabi, maybe an Indu and not Hindu is in order..there is a difference between the inhabitants of Indus valley and Hindus ( primarily due to the color of their skin) Hundus or Hindis as referred to by Persians are people of dark color..

Khan Miyan,
I see you struggling in a quicksand and slowly going down. Gandhi was a punjabi! And now this pearl, ``By punjabi I mean the Indus valley civilization... punjbis being the dominant``
At least, you are making some Indian punjabis on chowk happy i hope. But please stop making an A$$ of yourself.
Sridhar

Sir jee:

i am not struggling by any means; I said I was sorry to belittle others religion and that is the extent of my apology...

Jat and Gujjars are more readily assocaited with Punjabis than Sindhi or Pahans.. I have quoted a reliable source which establishes Gandhi as a Jat sub-caste...u have to come up with an equally good source ro be quier..there is a gentleman in faisalabad pakistan who claims to be a gandhi jat and I am sure there are more in east punjab if one waw to ask them..1883 was not the kind of year tha Gandhi was an household name...Gujraati is not a caste as is Punjabi or Sindhi...think about it

Mr Nadeemkhan,

I do not get you? Now this query and comments are disorganised you have so thoroughly confused me that I am not able to understand your position? Are you Hindu or Muslim. Pakistani or Indian. Islam lover or Hater. You seem some type of Muslim equivalent of Fundamentalist Protestant Black Christian. Problem with Hindu as religion but Proud of some mythical ancestry of Indu and Proud of Islam but problem with Arabia and Syed. And positively hostile to Bengalis and South Indians. (Come to think of it there are South Indians and North Indians the only East Indians are what we are called in America and West Indians actually a little East of that led till recently by one BrianLara). If I have one fear in Life is the South Indians and the Gujjus and Maharashtra and South MP and Orissa will Secede from India an we would be left with the northern badlands. Agreed there is one problem with Bengalis that they elect Commies but thats different.

Now let anyone call himself Sayeed how does it matter. Jats are physically big people the only people of this size in Gujarat are Patels, durbars, Thakore and OBC Rajputs. Gandhi was a Baniya and the only Kshatriya Banias are Marwaris. We have Hindu Punjabi Gandhi`s though the only ones I have met are Khatris not Jats. And I am sorry Gandhi was as tall as a 12 yr old Jat. So it is difficult to imagine him let alone call him one.

BTW one could understand your dislike of Bengalis for secession but what in the world have southerners done to you. Also Tipu Sultan unlike his father was a mass murderer so how can you call him a hero unless converting people by sword is your idea of being a hero or because the people he mass murdered were Tamilians and Coorgis and Kanndigas and Malyalis all South Indians whom you hate so much?

Also Aryan Invasion theory has been broken and what was supposed to be Indus Valley may well turn out to be Saraswati Valley initial data points to that?

good self-reflection

if more muslims do such self-criticism, it will help them get out of the mullah-imposed moral blockades.
