Okay, this is the thing; why are Pakistanis on a whole quite fair compared to Indians who are generally darker, even though they used to be 1 country before? (geographers, you might know lol)
Some people have said beacuse Pakistan is less hot than India but this doesn't make much sense as after partition everyone moved to other areas. For example, they may have moved from a very hot part of India to a hot part of Pakistan.
Someone else said that a majority of fair skinned Pakistanis are descendents of light skinned arabs and europeans who settled there. And the darker Pakistanis are the often the origional Hindu and Parsi settlers who are know Muslim?
I'm confused.
The European features are especially obvious in Northern Pakistan with the blue/green eyes, very light brown hair.

Pakistan has four regions
1- Sarhad : that is near to Afghanistan, language same as Afghanistan,that is Pushto, so colour cast and creed is same like europeans with cold climate
2-Punjab : that is near India and has different people from various places as it is populous, governing and has different colours of skin, with cold and hot climate
3- Baluchistan : it is near to Iran and has language baluchi and Irani (persian) it is similar to them, with hot climate
4- Sindh: it is near to the sea and near india, so people are somewhat black also after bifurcation indian muslims came here with mixed complexion, with normal climate.

I thought all Europeans are descendants of the Indian sub-continent - hence Indo-Eurasians
