80% of Pakistanis are Ethnic Indians?

Punjabis, Sindhis, Balochis, Ethnic Indians, such Pakistanis are Ethncity indian or Indo-Aryan what ever you wanna call it but not by nationality....

Pashtuns and Balochis of Pakistani nationality? they are as much people the British Empire could get during their campaign into Afghanistan .....

There's a difference between EThnicity and Nationality, for example Pashtuns to be called collectively even in Pakistan are called "ETHNIC" Afghans.... apart from nationality.

Does anyone here agree or object?

    i think its a lot moree than that ..outsiders only make up 5% of pakistan(i took anthropology)...the refugees have decreased by 2/3rds since NATO and majority have left for their native countries because the taliban ended up at the same spot..except ethnic tribal people near the border but they always been their and dont consider themselves pakistani ..really . and no crap they used to be a part from india?so same people duhhh?before the partition majority of pakistan region was hindu , the hindus came to indias side and the muslims of india went thereso duhhhh those two countries couldnt be more similar ..indians are very diverse(billion of them), many clans around the world have crossed in south asia, sooo majority of pakistanis ancestry is central india ....same with Bangladesh which also used to be part of india..the pathans near the border have always been there..when pakistan used to be part of india no one bothered them ..now its a big deal???because Muslim of india and pathans are like brothers now and are considered the same but not really ..went to school with pathans and jatts, and brahmins ( 3 cocky groups ) of south asia ...jatt(for sikh religion), brahmin(hindu religion), pathan(muslims religion) one for each...the muslim culture in india is the exact same culture of pakistanis, but pakistanis are also similar to north indians since they been settling there so long....AGREE but theres been a mixure in india and pakistan for millions of years with all the groups and clans traveling there from the globe, so why start differentiating now, people that are currently pakistani, or indians are not 100% indian or pakistani either ..no one knows what real pakis and indians really looked like

    and about the Scythia deal..i am about to tell the truth...jatts were originally gypsies of europe that lived in south asia for years and now look like native north indians, muslims have always been considered lower caste,none of the outsiders mixed with them and plus they were fighting them ..muslims in south asia were originally lower origin hindus that were converted by arabs...real jatts and brahmins are found in india , and theres MANY MANY fakes that change their names,,,,almost all the ones in pakistan are fake ...the Scythia,Jutland..and ancestry is only found in higher caste clans in india....in india they are over shadowed by a billion of other clans . theres more people in punjab india and haryana than double the population of pakistan..soooo, and in pakistan the only real ones are the ones that were forced to convert, but they werent ...because they were land owner and fled to india because they had money the only people that were forced to convert were lower caste(poor people) and jatts are not poor, but all of pakistan and north and central india is indo-aryan, in my school majority of pathans are just cocky for no reason..they looked worse than other pakistanis that were punjabi or sindhi ...pathans are the lowest of low middle easterns and they look just like pakistanis except the weird outfits ...in pakistan for some reason pathan is fantasied for no reason ...since majority of pakistan is lower caste (they didnt see recessive traits) only time they saw it was from outsiders...(only outsiders=pathans because they only see it in them) so they associate recessive traits with them, but 99% of them look like typical pakistanis...NO OFFENSIVE JUST TRYING TO SUMMARIZE

    I'm a Pashtun and I'm an ethnic Afghan and I know fully well about this. Our land used to be part of Afghanistan for hundreds of years till the British came. Part if me wishes that we were still part of Afghanistan instead of Pakistan because we are the same people and have the same culture.

    Looks like Obama is talking about doing air strikes within the mountains of Pakistan alongside the Afghan/Pakistan border, chiefly if an Al Qaeda goal/base has been spotted. I doubt if he approach a ground occupation of Pakistani soil but i am just speculating. The irony is, if there may be an additional ground attack on U.S. Soil, there may be public sentiment to move after the terrorist, anyplace they may be, even supposing that's targeting on Pakistani soil. I feel for the time being, the lack of a different 9-11 is preserving public sentiment in assess.
