What "Afro-Asian commonality" are you talking about? Other than the fact we are both not white, we have very little in common with Africans. How can you say that "Asian" is a "bogus" term? India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka could easily, easily be one country. There are Nepalis all over India's north east, and wealthy Sindhis and Pathans in India. India and Pakistan both have a Punjab. West Bengal is hardly different from Bangladesh. Pakistan has Gujaratis, Bihari Mohajirs, and Sikhs. Devnagri is used in Nepal. Indians are starting to listen to Pakistani Hindi pop. There are Tamils in both India and Sri Lanka, who have much to do with one another. All of the above watch Bollywood movies. There are certain factors that tie us together. Africa...simply has nothing to do with the picture. The only connection I can think of is the fact that Indians were brutally forced out of Uganda...
