Probably similar, but few of the Indo-caribbean people are from northwestern India/modern day Pakistan. And I don't think we look alike often.

I dated a girl for a while that was Indo-caribbean, she was really tall, 6'0", and didn't look like a typical Indo-Trini girl at all, very light skinned, but she had no idea about her background. ...then I read here some history here: http://www.guyana.org/features/afgha...se_muslim.html of a few migrants from South Asian being Afghans/Pathans.

"Immigration records indicate that the majority of Muslims who migrated to Guyana and Suriname came from the urban centres of Uttar Pradesh ... Small batches also came from Karachi in Sind, Lahore, Multan and Rawalpindi in the Punjab, Hyderabad, in the Deccan, Srinagar in Kashmir, and Peshawar and Mardan in the Northwest Frontier (Afghan areas)."

Anyway, it's interesting.
A lot of Indo-Caribbeans are from MADRAS!!! Even in Trinidad when you are a really dark Indian they call you A MADRAS INDIAN!!!!
