The Kushans who took over from the Greeks but became Hellenized were thought to be Tocharians if I remember correctly.

It is clear they are what I call a remnant people.

Do you need binoculars? they look white? and the article said “most have blue eyes and blonde hair” lol in order to use the word MOST it has to be factual and it’s not, most actually have dark brown features, My case study partners did live interviews and filming of these people and look nothing like your biased pictures, seriously the article is all opinions and author has no background in the field and presenting info like he is a expert. I studied Asian anthropology and these people have no foreign DNA and are not outsiders, their not even Caucasian, their Mongloid, ALL south Asian mountain people were historically considered Mongloid. Latinos are also Mongloid, that’s why these people resemble them. Exposure to sun and malnourishment brings out lighter hair that is not genetics, living in high mountain ranges lowers your RBCs and gives you a rosy glow, also not genetics, and there are only two or three blue eyed ones that have been circling the internet for YEARS. ALso there are blogs that showed some pictures of being service men and women or tourist dressed in their clothing and same pictures have multiple versions on the internet with different eye color but some person. Same amount of rare individuals can be found ANYWHERE, there are no GREEKS and never were, Nuristans were killed during numerous war scenes in that region, and outside afghans flooded the region to control land and majority of nuristan are not natives
