Between divided land and the threat of modernity: India's Brokpa people | AFP

High in the Indian Himalayas, the Brokpa people fear for their way of life as modernity catches up to the isolated community living on disputed lands. Brokpa people recount myths of ancestral links to Alexander the Great's army, who invaded in the fourth century BC, and ancient Rome.

It is very interesting that they look like Aryans yet their names are Tibetan. Even the tribe’s name Brokpa is same as Tibetan word for nomad འབྲོག་པ། which in transliteration is Dogpa.

The Dawn newspaper is afraid of the word Aryan since most Pakistanis follow Semitic (Yedudi-Arab origin who are children of Abraham) Islam and though many Pakistanis are Aryans by Race want to be referred to as Semites (Arabs) to the amusement of the genuine confident Muslim and Christian Arabs. These Bropka and other people living in the Northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent and touching Central Asia are pure indigenous Aryans and then went Westwards and Southwards. Alexander never set foot in this region and this is being planted to change the identity of the Aryans. Bropkas are simple-minded people and an attempt is being made to brainwash them! After in his battle with the Kshatriya (Rajput) Porus Alexander moved backwards. Who won or lost is anybody’s guess but both survived. Dawn wants to change the meaning of the word Aryan thus aiding the Semitic (Yehudis in this case and not the fellow Semitic Arabs) agenda. Yehudis are a fine people like others but surely because of the wicked Nazis they want to remove the Aryan word from our planet or change its meaning. By Aryans is meant a Race and no one can change this either: I am Darius, the great king, the king of kings
The king of many countries and many people
The king of this expansive land,
The son of Wishtaspa of Achaemenid,
Persian, the son of a Persian,
'Aryan', from the Aryan race
