[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by coolnight: [qb] The Brokpa tribe are quite interesting. They have a very distinct unique look about them. They look similar yet still quite distinct from Kalash/Kashmiris. Quite unusual looking features. Very tall (some of them), well built sharp featured people. Again another claim for another south asian group of them being decendents of Alexander the Great's army. http://www.probashionline.com/alexanders-lost-army-the-brokpa-community-of-ladakh/ Hard to find information on DNA test studies on these people. [IMG]http://www.probashionline.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/brokpa1.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE]The Brokpa are one tribe of a group of people called the Shina who live in the Ladakh area of eastern Kashmir/western Tibet. I remember from reading a book about Tibet years ago how the author points out certain customs and traditions the Shina practice which is strikingly similar to those of Iranian peoples like the Persians. For example during spring time the Shina celebrate their New Year similar to the Persian Nowruz complete with a ritual where 15 year old boys run around naked. As far as their physical features or appearance is concerned, I think they are a mix sharing ancestry with Kashmiris in Baltistan to the west as well as Tibetans from the east. In dress styles for instance, the women wear headdresses similar to Tibetan women with Tibetan flowers but dresses and cowry shell jewelry similar to other Kashmiri women. So I won't be surprised if the genetic studies show this. [/QB][/QUOTE]
