How genetically similar are modern day Afghans, Pakis, and Tajiks to the ancient Persians?
I know there are multiple Afghan ethnicities so let's just stick with Pashtun, Tajiks are the same as Tajiks from Tajikistan (I think) and these two alone make up the majority of Afghans.

tajiks are literally persians
they just live east of persia

I'm very curious about Tajiks in particular. What would one call an "eastern persian?" Tajik is a more contemporary term, or so I've heard.

They have a tiny amount of persian blood. They are mostly arab-turk rape babies.

I require proof
Pakistani is extremely different than any of these. Most Pakistanis are more Indian than anything. The don't really look "middle eastern" more
"South Asian" or "Indian subcontinent". With people's looks, culture, customs, food, etc. Pakistan didn't even implement sharia law until the 70's when the soviets invaded Afghanistan. (Afghanis are so different in every way also)
Even Pakistan's main language (Urdu) is identical to india's (Hindi) when spoken, although written it looks more like Arabic where's Hindi more like Sanskrit.

Using this term is a good indicator that the poster is retarded and won't provide any legitimate argument beyond " WE WUZ ARYANZ N' SHIEEET"

wha- who was mentioning Pakis?
In any case, interesting you bring it up: Modern day Pakistan includes Sindh: which were Indic people but they were a tributary to the Persian empire. The other part of their lineage , especialy in the North , what would be called today Afghans and Baluchis are related to the eastern Iranian tribes subdued by the Persians

Why'd you reply to me asking for proof of an outrageous claim
persians are just one group, to call tajiks persian is as absurd as to cal germans celts
Iran/Aryan is a much better term, I know iran rustle a lot of diasporahzahde jimmies but it is what it is

Iran is just one Persian country. Afghanistan and Tajikistan are also Persian countries
