Who are the People of Kashmir?

The time has come to discuss the people of Kashmir; a region long shrouded in equal parts mystery and intrigue for many anthropologists, linguists and historians alike, with one of the most notable reasons being the unique appearance of many (not all) Kashmiris, who have blue or green eyes, blond or red hair, and many other anomalous traits for the region of South Asia.
Be sure to share your thoughts on just why the Dardic and Nuristani peoples of this region look the way they do and your own theories on their interesting genetic history. Are they Scythians? Greeks? Proto-Indo-Aryans? Or something else entirely? Be sure to look at all the evidence and come up with your own conclusions. Thanks for watching!

Kashmiri's were made to forget about their identity, ethnicity by the later authorities controlling the region and absolutely scrubbed off their military history from the books people who tormented them, were made heroes in their text books and even today with a Hindu nationalist party of India controlling the region they want to turnn it into a Hindu region eliminating the Muslim and ethnic threat altogether, or as one of their leaders recently said after stripping us of the semi autonomous rule we can marry their white women now.

Kashmiris are a part of Dardic community, the earliest inhabitants tracing back to Rig-Vedic times. Mostly resembling modern Slavic people, or maybe ancient Tocharians and modern Nuristanis. In the later Vedic ages, as Vedic Kingdoms moved South ward, there were minor additions from Indic regions, still retaining PIE features. Centuries later, India was under various Hindu rulers, and Kashmir formed important portion of their Kingdom. These Hindu rulers in turn were mixtures of PIE, Iranians, and Native Indians, so during their reign all these genes moved to Kashmir, forming combinations. During Mauryan Empire, Seleucid and Bactrain Empires established close ties with India. Kashmir was the route, so again Kashmiris got Greek/Iranian genes from there. By this time native Kashmiris had significant Indic genes, specially among lower castes. Then there were Kushans, Scythians which added to Iranic/Greek features. At the same time there were mixing from plains of India. During Islamisation, Kashmir gained a lot of gene pool from Iran and neighbouring Pashtuns, who in turn had genes from other parts of middle east. This diluted their PIE DNA, and brought in more middle eastern than Slavic/PIE look. Isolated tribes however retained PIE/pre Vedic traits. Mongol/Mughal rule brought in more Persian gene(as opposed to Turkic, because Mughals considered themselves more Persian than Turkic) Turkic-ation of neighbouring Turkestan, Tarim Basin brought some Turkic/Mongolic genes too. At the same time there were continous influx from Indian plains, with clans like Gaddis,Gujjars, Jats, Rajputs continuously moving in and out. Sikh empire brought Kashmir eventually under Dogri rule, who were from neighbouring Rajasthan originally. This made the elite Hindus more closer to mainland India, who by this time were already far-far removed from PIE. Kashmiris in a word, are similar to Afghans, with a bit more Vedic genes due to "lesser extent" of Islamisation and mountainous terrain which prevented any genocide. However this is very different and may vary even from family to family, and there can be a wide array.

They are, as well made as Europeans, and their faces have neither the Tartar flat nose nor the small pig-eyes that distinguish the natives of Kacheguer (Kashgar), and which generally mark those of Great Tibet.” P.S.

The blond, brown, red hair and blue eyes comes from the Adamites who resided in the land between the two rivers, Tigris and Euphrates. They later migrated in many different directions but held sway for generations in Turkestan around the Caspian sea.

*10th century Kashmiri polymath Abhinavagupta’s description of Kashmir:* Where people normally are poetic and wise, Where even warriors are articulate, Women of cities are lustrous as the moon And charming in their gait, Where accomplished female practitioners of yoga are Bright as the spark of fire Particularly due to the complete opening of the path of the shushumna nerve in them they are also lustrous as the sky in the state of the lunar eclipse Where the wine known as madrika Brings maturity in the talk of love of lovers In which part of the world people get engaged Confidently and unobstructed in the fare of love Where the Gods take interest in remaining engaged in the delight of the chakras and where departs the joy of life and blessedness of liberation where contemplative practiotioners of yoga, munis dwell at various spots And where does Shiva dwell himself all the time. I therefore consider Kashmir As the proper place of yogic accomplishments Siddhi there is no place on the whole of this earth Which may compare with Kashmir in this respect Nor in the respect of contentment or fulfilment of all aspirations.

Similarly partition of India on the basis of religion has proved disastrous. Rather than solving any problem, it has created unending problems.

Territorial disputes--or all wars, really--are so unfortunate. My dad always tells me about how his parents and sister visited Kashmir in the 70s and how flaking out on that trip was one of his biggest regrets, because he was told how beautiful it was. As a South Indian-American I've never visited North India (or should I say North-South-Asia? lol) but if I do, Kashmir would be first on my list. Such beauty in their land, clothing, culture, etc. As for the poll, I'd guess that the Kashmiri people possess phenotypes that most closely resemble those of the original Indo-Aryan people, and were able to maintain these traits due to isolation in that mountainous region, just like you suggested. Anyone interested in Kashmiri culture should go to their local Indian grocery store and look for Kashmiri tea! It's typically served with chopped pistachios and it's very fragrant and delicious.

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face Stars fill my dream I'm a traveler of both time and space To be where I have been Sit with elders of the gentle race This world has seldom seen They talk of days for which they sit and wait All will be revealed Talk in song in tongues of lilting grace Sounds caress my ear There are not a word I heard could I relate Story was quite clear Oh Oh Oh yeah I been flyin' Love oh ain't no denyin', no Oh, ooh yea, I been flyin' Mama, mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin' All I see turns to brown As the sun burns the ground And my eyes fill with sand As I scan this wasted land Try to find, try to find what I feel Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace Like thoughts inside a dream Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear Oh Oh When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I been yeah, yeah Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down Ooh, let me take you there

Oh, can you do a dna basics video, on how to understand the subject as a whole?

[@jonharvey55]

hey Mason very interesting video. I served over in Afghanistan with the New Zealand army. We were based in Bamyan province. We saw a lot of European looking Afghani people with ginger and blonde hair and a lot of people with green eyes. I always wondered what their genetic back ground was. Everyone thought they were just part Russian haha.

[@radunastase7901]

So you are a paid killer. Sad.

[@jonharvey55]

Radu Nastase No my friend. I never killed anyone. The NZ army was their to keep the peace between the different tribes. We set up the first female school in the country and gave free Aid and stationary to the locals.

[@Meffrgtikiii]

these were nomad Pashtuns called kuchi people. They are known to look like that

[@therealhasmedia]

Loved the video, wish there was more to it but was waiting for this for a very long time. I'm very proud of you Kashmiri heritage. However people always assume I'm mixed race of black and white or Arab or even North African. It's only because of my thick and very curly hair

[@af-pqueen4287]

Id be able to tell where youre from easy some people just assume

[@morphanik1]

Not enough research but good video still..u can make this better

[@mnshahab3857]

After watching most of the Masaman videos I am amazed that he knows so much in detail about the subcontinent. Infact he knows more than the common people residing here. Definitely knows infinity times more than our politicians who makes us fight on the basis of color, caste and creed.

[@JoseGarcia-uj9hn]

This was one of your most interesting videos the nuck part could have been left out

[@MILLZMAN90]

Could you please do a video about the people of Cyprus and their origins?

[@rajeev452]

Kashmir is a tiny valley. Please do not portray the entire J&K and Ladakh as Kashmir. I'm pretty certain we the people of Kishtwar alongside other Jammu division people and Ladakhis do not consider ourselves as Kashmiris. Cheers!

[@TheHomieNickGurr]

And please don’t portray pandits as native to the whole j&k either. Pandits only belong to tiny valley. They aren’t native to pakistan side j&k at all.

[@Best-jj6zt]

@naturelover lmao ☠️ how much fake you want this to be ?? Kishtwari and Kashmiris??? Kid you should better research properly

[@harminderbedi8448]

To me, Kashmiri Pandits don't look Dardic. They look like pandits from Punjab and Haryana, but with fairer skin, which is understandable given the cold high altitude climate.

[@rajeevparmar8844]

some of them do and some of them don't. ive seen a few videos documenting the large exodus in the 90s and when you see the large crowds of kashmiri hindus it's pretty clear theres a decent amount of diversity within the group. kashmiri muslims look just as diverse to me which makes sense given how much mixing has taken place in the region over the centuries/millenia.

[@sigma4220]

No i have seen many dark kashmiri pandits

[@HandE2Go]

what r u on about, theres kashmiris as fair as nords and as dark as africans. well maybe not so much the latter but most of us are somewhere in between!! stop basing everything off skin color

[@harminderbedi8448]

@Nature Lover Give me examples
