CULTURAL QA 01202404 Q1 Is it true that the ancestors of Pakistanis were Hindu?
KR Our results related to these four populations are consistent with our hypothesis that most the Pakistani populations have a gene pool derived from Central Asia and European populations. Modern-day Pakistan was the main gateway to India and thus Pakistani populations are mosaic of European and Central Asian populations. My personal results showed me being 56% South Asian, 35% Central, and about 7% European, with some ambiguous DNA. These results show that Pakistanis are a combination of both Indians and foreigners who have entered the area throughout history. As far as the Muslims of India are concerned, it is a little complicated than the simple converted Indians as Muslim, as most Indian back ground did not migrate to Pakistan. Q2 What is the bad thing about Indian parents? KR Silly question since, bad people are only in minority; as in our groups only 3 are spoiling the broth; so can we blame the whole society and the groups? Q3 What is the craziest science fact you know? A3 Jean-Marie Valheur, just an amateur who loves some science WedIn 1992, a healthy couple donated an embryo to a hospital. The embryo was frozen for 28 years until 2020, when she was implanted into the womb of a woman who had been struggling with fertility issues.And then after a healthy, uneventful pregnancy, little Molly Gibson was born, 28 years after having been frozen cryogenically in a laboratory — the longest-frozen embryo in human history to be successfully placed, and born. KR Is the above craziest? Any one can write in support of the craziness as depicted if they are convinced. Q5 What is the interesting incident of the rich young women wanted to change her seat when a poor man sat near her in the flight? A5 Matthew Brooks, Oct 9 A rich young woman sat beside a poor elderly man on a plane. She alerted the flight attendant upon taking her seat. The flight attendant answered warmly, when the woman abruptly said, “Please find me another seat immediately.” The flight attendant responded, “I’m sorry Ma’am, but the economy cabin is fully booked.” ‘The rich woman replied, “But I’m not going to travel beside a worthless bum. Do something.” While the elderly man stared in disbelief, the flight attendant responded, “I’ll talk to the Captain about this.” The flight attendant went to the Captain and asked, “Captain, a woman feels uncomfortable sitting beside a poor elder man. What should we do?” Surprisingly, the Captain’s face changed. He looked amused and said, “This woman is interesting. I’ve never encountered an issue like this before. I have a plan. Listen..” And the Captain relayed to the flight attendant what he wants to do. The flight attendant was stunned at his plan. In fact, she was amazed. A few minutes later, the flight attendant returned. “The Captain said we could use an open seat in First Class. He also wants to apologize for having to travel with such a terrible person.” As the woman rose out of her seat, the flight attendant reached out her arm towards the poor elderly man. “Sir will you please follow me?” To which the plane applauded. ***Never look down on other people.

Gopala krishnan, on 04-01-2024* *Q1 Is it true that the ancestors of Pakistanis were Hindu?* *A1 Muhammad Aamir Khokhar, Pakistani Punjabi Muslim l History Buff 4y* *I have covered this up many a times but Zeshan Mahmood response is bringing me back in the ring.* *Were the ancestors of Pakistanis not Hindu?* *Yes majority of Pakistanis who live in Punjab and Sindh have Hindu ancestry. But that will not be correct to say every Pakistani has Hindu ancestry.* *There is no point to disrespect Hindus/Hinduism altogether being a Pakistani nor it is a benchmark to prove my patriotism. Our complicated nature of relationship with India at state level doesn't mean we should maintain rigid and biased opinions towards Hinduism. I earlier finished one of my response few hours before where I was giving credit to Pakistan as birthplace of Hinduism.* *To all those Pakistani friends who don't know.* *The word Hindu/Hinduism was abbreviated from river Indus which currently passes in modern day Pakistan. In addition, Hindu is also geographical term refers to a person who lives in suburbs of Northwest parts of River Indus.* *Lahore (Luv) and Kasoor (Kush) were sons of Rama.* *Karachi was named under one Hindu Saint Mai Golachi.* *Rawalpindi is named after epic character of folkfare Rawal-Jugni.* *Peshawar is abbreviated from Purushpura (Sanskrit) which means “City of Men”.* *Taxila (now Rawalpindi) is privileged to have one of the oldest university of the world. It was important center of Hinduism and Budhism. Even Taxila is abbreviated name of Thaksha which was son of Lord Bharat.* *The inhabitants of Indus Valley and Gandhara Valley were mostly Hindus/Buddhists.* *Just giving you an example out of the box, this is currency note of Indonesia (largest Muslim country in the world). And some of you might get shocked to see the sign of Lord Ganesha is at 20K Rupiah.* *It is my humble request to not feel any shame. Due to our consistent denial, we are consistently getting such kind of questions one after another at social media. We need to keep this fact in mind that Islam is only 1.4k years old religion and obviously there were people who were following other faiths. It is understandable our ancestors were following other religions before Islam. Even if we take as Arab ancestry for a while, many people in Arab were idol worshipers before Islam. Hinduism at the other end is widely considered as one of the oldest religion in the world and was most practiced in modern day Pakistan before the arrival of Islam. Denial of history will create more embarrassment for us internationally.* *Q2 What is the bad thing about Indian parents?* *A2 Anil Roongta, Former Member at Consumer Court 8h( A medical doctor with post graduate degree and former IAS )* *One of my brothers in law is a very successful doctor. He has two sons.* *His elder son wanted to study arts. He had no interest in science. But his father forced him to take science and prepare for engineering. That poor kid took science.* *He couldn’t clear engineering entrance examinations. His father willy nilly got him admission in a private engineering college somewhere in a southern state. * *That boy studied there for two years and failed in almost all subjects. He then left the college and ran away to his uncle who was in Delhi. He later did his BA from an open university and is working with an NGO. He rarely talks to his parents.* *Indian parents are very protective of their children and are highly concerned about their education, career and future but at the same time are very pushy and want to decide everything for the children.And I find this as a very bad trait.* *Q3 What is the craziest science fact you know?* *A3 Jean-Marie Valheur, just an amateur who loves some science Wed* *In 1992, a healthy couple donated an embryo to a hospital. The embryo was frozen for 28 years until 2020, when she was implanted into the womb of a woman who had been struggling with fertility issues.* *And then after a healthy, uneventful pregnancy, little Molly Gibson was born, 28 years after having been frozen cryogenically in a laboratory — the longest-frozen embryo in human history to be successfully placed, and born.* *Q4 What is the interesting joke of a young Catholic couple was involved in a fatal car accident on their way to get married?* *A4 Jokes, Humour & Funny stories Posted by Rebecca, Sep 20* *On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple was involved in a fatal car accident. They are now in Heaven. * *The couple found themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven.* *While waiting they began to wonder; could they possibly get married in Heaven?* *When St. Peter arrived, they asked him if they could get married in Heaven.* *St. Peter said,"I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out," and he left.* *The couple sat and waited for an answer... for a couple of months.* *While they waited, they discussed the pros and cons. If they were allowed to get married in Heaven, should they get married, what with the eternal aspect of it all?* *"What if it doesn't work? Are we stuck in Heaven together forever?"* *Yet another month passed before St. Peter finally returned, looking somewhat bedraggled.* *"Yes," he informed the couple, "You can get married in Heaven."* *"Great!" said the couple.* *"But we were just wondering; what if things don't work out?

St. Peter shouted.* *"It took me 3 months to find a priest up here! Do you have ANY idea how long it'll take to find a lawyer?!* *My note- I enjoyed the joke very much.* *Q5 What is the interesting incident of the rich young women wanted to change her seat when a poor man sat near her in the flight?* *A5 Matthew Brooks, Oct 9* *A rich young woman sat beside a poor elderly man on a plane.
