A stereotype about Pathans / Pashtuns

@mahool its not just rumour, it is a strongely-rooted steotype. I have personal experience, i spent some years in islamabad of childhood and our punjabi neighbours were afraid/uncomfortable with us, their moms had instructed their kids not to play with us. I have also read some urdu stories for children in which the ones abducting kids in bori, are always depicted as pashtuns. Due to this i am curious, why keeping such dangerous people as chowkidaar of your house?. Is it the fear of unknown and strange people, or it has some definite history behind it?

I never seen Pathan beggers in my life while seen many non-Pathan beggers…
