Re: Afghania – A Suitable Name For NWFP
I have heard many people say that Afghan is another word for Pashtun but I always tell them stop dwelling on the past, it is not anymore, ask anyone anywhere in the world and they say Afghan is someone from Afghanistan and that doesn't include Pakistani Pashtuns.
Pakhtunkhwa or Pakhtunistan are mouthfulls, the southern dialect sounds better (Pashtunistan, Pashtunkhwa) but still it is wrong to name the whole province after any one ethnic group, non-Pashtuns have lived in NWFP for just as long as Pashtuns if not longer.
