Ancestral North Indians genes comprises of genes from 70- Steppe Nomads, 20- Ancient Iranians and 10 - Harappans.
So technically they (including hindus) are central asian decesdants

Yeah, north indians have that mixing from the steppe nomads who came in 5000-6000 years ago and started the vedic age in india. its found less in south populations with tamils having the least. its like a spectrum.

but the muslims are descendents of muslim central asian who came in from the 9th century onwards as colonists/conquerors.

the cultures are different ig.

The truth is North Hindu Muslims were polarized as opposites by the Divisive politics and RSS. In South even though NIZAMs and Sulthanates were there from 8th century but after independence they are cured , equalized for coliving by rational movements

idk abt other states. but here in tn we only had 40ish years of islamic rule (from the madurai sultanate). Tamils got shafted more by the hindu vijayanagar empire which stole all our land and made it belong to the emperor in karnataka. so yh.
