Just because we don't have a province named 'Rajputana', 'Brohi-istan' or 'Mohajirabad', does not mean Rajputs, Brohis or Mohajirs etc. were not accepted as part of Pakistan.
Relax....
Just ‘naming’ shouldn’t have been any indication of whether accepted or not, NWFP was ALWAYS part of our hearts, our map, our identity in Pakistan. I am glad it is renamed to your satisfaction and hope that it will strengthen the bond :k:
I did not know that earlier but now I know this change in name proposal was also initiated and backed by the 'foreign elements' by bringing into play the stupidity / naiveness of the local people of Pakistan as usual.
The only things this would do is facilitate the outsiders to recognize and get used to the map / areas in the region. For sure, it was never a problem for the local people nor people from the rest of Pakistan would have or even cared in the past. The only people this change of name something so strange-sounding facilitates is the FOREIGN ELEMENTS for their convenience & not the locals for sure.
But will the local people ever understand the tactics which have much more deeper meaning & not necessary in favor of Pakistan? NO WAY!!! We would continue to being stupid going all ha-ha-he-he-hu-hu over something so stupid.
I await to see how this silly thing assists with anything in resolving the existing issues Pakistan presently faces like lack of education speciall now after about destruction of 400 schools in NWFP region. More children of NWFP deprived of basic education now but do you or anyone in the bunch of suggesting this name change even know that?
As I have mentioned so many times before, the anti Pakistan foreign elements are using the stupid pakistani people into getting their own interests served while they use the same people to push pakistani people back to stone age by tactics such as bombing schools (more jahalat in pakistan than ever before), power plants (queta), destroying all the industries (through load shedding) causing loss of jobs / more unemployment at an alarming rate creating more & more people available for easy recruitment of foreign terrorist organizations such as al qaeda, black water and smilar sh!t, smuglling of Pakistani flour / sugar and other edible items to india through afghanistan.
Hey but who cares? All of the above is not important AT ALL as Pakistani people especially the people of NWFP have already accomplished so much in the world so they are not bothered about the above mentioned issues of the region and the country over all. As long as the NAME of a region has been changed from something of 60 yrs to something so stupid. We have a very good reason to party. Yayyyyyyy!!! So where's the party at?

ISLAMABAD: Senator Mian Raza Rabbani, Chairman of the all parties Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Reforms (PCCR) on Thursday handed over the report of the committee to Speaker National Assembly Dr. Fehmida Mirza and Chairman Senate Farooq H. Naek, Geo News reported.
Draft amendment would be tabled in both the houses tomorrow.
Receiving the report, Chairman Senate and Speaker National Assembly congratulated Chairman and members of the Parliamentary Committee on achieving this milestone.
“Political leadership has proved that Parliament is supreme and parliamentarians can solve all problems faced by nation with consensus and reconciliation”, Fehmida said.
She maintained, it was an honor for her to take the report of the committee as she constituted the committee nine months before and after detailed discussions the report has been submitted to her.
“March 31 is a historic day in the parliamentary history of the country as the committee completed its report after the nine-month hard work and in this regard I would like to congratulate the Chairman and the members of the committee”, she maintained.
Speaker National Assembly expressed confidence that both the Houses of the Parliament would also pass these reforms with consensus.
Fehmida Mirza announced that the room in the parliament house where the committee had conducted over 77 meetings in the past nine months for the revival of the 1973 constitution in its original form should now be called the constitution room.
Earlier, Chairman of the committee Mian Raza Rabbani said the task could have not been accomplished, without the great cooperation from members of all parties and their heads.
Appreciating the role of the members of committee, he said that every member played his exemplary role in formulation of the reforms and maintained that all parties have reached on a consensus after a long period.
He said the committee has tried to lay foundation of strengthening federation and democracy as well as the institutions.
Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani congratulated the Chairman and members of the committee and said the whole nation was proud of the political leadership on their achievement.
The Prime Minister on his arrival at the Parliament House, embraced the committee’s Chairman Mian Raza Rabbani and other members.
He lauded their hard work, political sagacity and commitment in producing the draft of Constitution Reforms unanimously agreed by all parties.
He complimented the Committee for the tedious work and dialogue in a democratic spirit, which helped to reach on understanding.
Re: Afghania as a compromise
The voice of the people was heard and that colonial relic “NWFP” is no more.
Although this name change will not bring material benefit to the residents of the province, the recognition of a distinct identity within the federation is already lifting the spirits of the people.

Re: Afghania as a compromise
I suspect what will happen now is that all Pashtun KP residents will say they are from Pakhtunkhwa, and all non Pashtun residents will claim they are from Khyber. Assuming the Non Pastun residents ever actually cared whether they were lumped in with the Pashtuns of the Province, and it wasnt anythng other then insecure politicans struting.
Either way I think its a great comprmise, as it distinguishes the province as both a goegraphical region and an ethnic region.
