Re: Ghurids were Pashtuns
I am sure not may Pashtuns believe that. It was just a far-fetched theory created by some people to prove their own racist superiority … if belonging to Israelites is any superiority in the first place.
Currently most Pashtuns have given up on it but some Israelis continue to espouse this theory.
Theory of Pashtun descent from Israelites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to the Encyclopaedia of Islam, the theory of Pashtun descent from Israelites is traced to Maghzan-e-Afghani, a history compiled for Khan-e-Jehan Lodhi in the reign of Mughal Emperor Jehangir in the 16th century.
In his universal history Mirat-ul-Alam – The Mirror of the World – Bukhtawar Khan describes the journeys of the Afghans from the Holy Land to Ghor, Ghazni, and Kabul.
