Re: A new country in the making?
You forgot all those Bollywood actors with the "Khan" surname. Their unabashed Hindustani facade is overlooked because of their global sex appeal you see, so they are Pashtuns!. :)
Remember the logic:-
Imran Khan Niazi - pure Pashtun - forget that his family are settled in Lahore, and he speaks rustic Pashto.
General A.K. Niazi - lapsed Pahstun - may or may not speak Pashto, but he had not such a brave record in the 1971 war.
They say Pushtoon is not a nationality or etnicity, It is a Kaifiat....
You may also feel like pushtoon at times...
Afridi is a real Pushtoon when he is batting...
