Modern Punjabi Kambojs genetically cluster with Yusafzai Pashtuns of Swat, and score high percentage of BMAC dna, which is non existent in most South asians. This is a clear proof of descent from ancient kambojas.

Adding that the Kingdom of 'Cambodia', close to Thailand, was called 'Kampuchea' which is a variation of 'Kamboja'. Successive kings like Norodom Sihanouk have identified their ancestry to Kamboj in modern day Afghanistan. People of Sri Lanka also identify their ancestry to Kamboj,

Wouldn’t the tribes that inhabit the mountainous areas of Gilgit Baltistan, Tajikistan etc call themselves “local mountain people” rather than give themselves Vedic terms originating in downstream river valleys? Huge geographic disparities leads to huge cultural differences & I’m not too sure that mountain people adhered strictly to Vedic values because they saw these values as originating from the plains. It’s the same reason why places like Afghanistan never really became a nation.

I know a person from Punjab with the surname "Kamboj"

They use blanket because their location was colder than all of the subcontinent,i think Jammu and Kashmir then Afghanistan is the best place suited for them, in the contrary the subcontinent are mostly hot and arid, and mostly wore loose clothes even the male are Shirtless

[@badarpurschool9618]

We have kamboj surname in Punjab and Jammu

[@vaishnavikhare8596]

hey do you mind telling us something about chedi mahajanpada. Did it have any connection with chandel dynasty of that region in medieval times

[@harshal343]

Bro plz make a video on buddhas of bamiyan and it's supposed creators which in my opinion were built by either Hepthalites or kushans

[@AshwiniKumarS]

Yavanas, sakas, hunas are mentioned in Mahabharata and I guess ramayana mentions yavana and yavanamitra i.e. indogreeks, so by this can we conclude these two epics were written around the gupta period

The title of the video is quite misguided, you should change that.

[@saulgoodman124]

Thanks for making video on Kambojs. I am a Kamboj Sikh living in Patiala India.

[@Kamboj_4]

Im born in Punjab and my last name is kamboj

[@anaesthete5592]

I think the location of kambojas were probably further more north west like outside of the subcontinent maybe Tajikistan or Afghan area not the Rajouri region,
