First of all I never said that naswar /kehwa /chapli kebabs are a part of pathan culture . I just said they r “Quite common” as local commodaties with in the NWFP society.
Secondly , if kids from a very small age see there parents moving with heavily armed body guards ,and seeing guns at home as a household good , this gives rise tto the gun culture in future generation. Thats why most of the Malik’s/chowdurys sons move around with guns and that is why I used the word GUN Culture .
rest I think Puktun tura has put a good summary.:k:

yes, but gun culture is different than guns as a part of teh culture.
**rest I think Puktun tura has put a good summary.:k: **
yep he summmarizes the historical importance of guns/weapons in general in the pathan culture quite well and explains what i said quite well.
achaa…ok..perhaps.(I just said he summarises well , I dint say I tottally agree with him on all points)
I have no (bone of contention) to pick with any one here its just certain ppl that I really respect and would not like them to pass inaccurate/or incorrect ideas …I only reply to them.
Just so you all certifiable "Pathans" know that the word comes from British/Indian sources. In my experience, Pashtuns or Pakhtuns are more representative of the ethnic group as the 'Pathans' are more 'Indianized.'
Pakhtuntura, there is no doubt that Pakhtuns have contributed immensely to Pakistan. Stereotypes are just opinions not reality.
can some people from baluchistan and sindh and kashmir please share some other symbols as well..i would love to read more about other provinces..thank you :)
i know mostly about the dress code from different provinces..but i was thinking that i have very little knowledge about the main cultural food dishes from the provinces of pakistan..so if anyone can talk about them..that would be fantastic!
thanx everyone for replying to teh thread and changing it into a debate of stereotyping or not:rolleyes:
nad yeah one more thing…the main purpose of the thread was for you ppl to share some things that are symbolic of your cultures…not to brag about how much intellectual you are!
