    I'm from a race known as the Moran race living in the northeast region of India. As I've heard long back from my father and other paternal elders, our race had migrated from Mongolia more than a thousand years ago into this Brahmaputra valley of the state of Assam and so Mongol genes are present in our blood.
    It's interesting how people migrate and populate newer places, taking up newer names.

      I am Kachin, from Kachin. We are called Singpo in India & Jingpo in China. Our greatgrand elders told us that we are descendants from the Mogolians. So, when we talk about our ancetral history, it dates back to Mogolia.
      The Kachins were described by the White as ''Warlike people'' due to our skillful and subtle fights against the enemies. The well-known evidence to show is when we fought against the Japanese who invaded into our land and they got defeated. We celebrated by our cultural "Manau'' dance, which we celebrate every year up to this day. Another occasion was when the British invaded. While the lower part of Burma fell under the British within days, it took over a month for the British to conquer the Kachinland. Comparing the advance arms and weaponaries the British soldiers were equipped with, the Kachin fighters only fought back with hand-made pellet-guns, swords, spears and traps set up in th jungle. So, Mogols gene sure is present in our blood.

      @AdMBandLeader 2 роки тому +6

      @@efootballunitedyt.4685 Some information in mainstream historical records are actually not too authentic. Wikipedia has a lot of misinformation on this regard. In reality, India's northeastern region is full of Tibetan, Sino, Burmese and Mongoloid alongwith other Polynesian stock origin races, now mostly mutually assimilated. This assimilation has resulted in mixing of genes amongst the present day ethnicities. Hence you'll find a lot of subtle to notable anthropologically major and/or minor differences on the facial and physical appearances between them. For example, an Angami Naga is usually seen with a longer neck and sharper nose than those of a Sumi Naga although both are from the Naga ethnicity. Down here in the valley where I hail from, we have broader noses with stocky and more robust calves and thighs than most other ethnicities here like the Ahoms(migrated here from the Yunan province during the 1200s). There has never been an exhaustive and thorough anthropological research done on each and every race here so far and our history has always been oral with hardly any written records. Hence most modern historic records are based on oral information and assumption with some amount of anthropological study(which, IMO, isn't enough to establish origins in a concrete way).

      @@AdMBandLeader oh i see, one day I'd like to visit northeast India too. We Mongolians originated from China, a nomadic tribal Chinese people who resided in the north and east of China. Our lineage were the Xianbei, Liao, etc. Olden times those Mongols were Chinese nomadic tribal people who were known as Shi Wei. They were moved away from Xianbei after the collapse of the Xianbei. They moved to mountainous northern regions, there they might have met Turks and intermixed with them and also influenced to Turk cultures too. In around the 12th century, Genghis Khan ruled and united all the Mongols and formed one of the biggest Empires in history, The Mongol Empire. And we are also a Chinese but non-Han ethnic ones. Mongols are one of China's 56 ethnic groups too.

      As a person still in Mongolia after a month, « clean » really depends on the places you go to. If you stay in the « luxury » areas obviously not much trash but as soon as you go to some normal places and even in the countryside you will unfortunately realize a miserable managing of trash with random stuff laying around in random places. But obviously that is not everywhere and as soon as you escape the crowded places it feels like heaven!
      Cheers

      The landscape that you see south of the city is actually the oldest national park (Bogd Khan Uul National Park) in the world, it predates the Yellowstone National Park by almost 100 years.

Because of that I was worried to visit Mongolia. I am reading a book "Lords of the bow" it's about the true story of khan and happy to see his statue in the government building.

      Mongolia is mostly a safe place. Ulaanbaatar and Erdenet are modernized global cities. In fact about 70% of Mongolians live in urban areas and the rest 30% are nomads. So if you want to see modern Mongolia go to Ulaanbaatar but if you want to go to traditional Mongolia go to the countryside
