Re: Ethnic Map of Afghanistan
Thanks parissenoor, you’re great. :k:
If we can keep Pashtuns in Afghanistan from adopting Dari and those in Pakistan from adopting Urdu and assimilate Baluch, Hindko, Siraiki and Nuristani people into our fold more throughly the Pashtuns on both sides of the border can eventually reunite into a Pashto speaking Pashtunistan, forget Afghanistan or Afghaniya the word Afghan has lost synonymiaty (just coined a word) with Pashtun and is associated with Bin Laden, not deny the history/heritage of our people but accept that Afghan was a temporary label given to us by foreigners and it doesn’t apply anymore, Pashtunistan sounds nice but it’s got the typical “Istan” on the end, Pashtunkhwa is a bit of a tongue twister and sounds weird for those not accustomed to the kh sound or Pashto.. What do you guys suggest as a name for our own country? day dreaming Something which obviously should have Pashtun in it but not Istan or Khwa.
