MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

antiob !!
How old are you?? because i think u are going on a tangent.. because u did not get the hang of the whole subject. all ur responses are around soem kabulis and bharatis i question your sanity.

Malik thanks for your input. i do agree with you that naming the province is not a priority and attention should be paid to development of the area. But i think renaming the province shouldn't be ignored any longer. Hindko speaking brothers and sisters should definitely be listened to when it comes to renaming the province. i advocate a name acceptable to all.

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

Name of the existing province is Sir-hud. Pretty good I dare say. It has been acceptable to everyone inclduing Hindko speakers for 96 (that is 9 dacades and 6 years).

If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Name of FATA Khattak. Again pretty neat I dare say.

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

True, I agree. Ameen to that bro.

Sooba sarhad has been there for a very long time. Kabulis were never, & never will be any part of Sarhad.

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

we seem to be quite defensive here. I believe that the name SARHAD(frontier/ border) isn't a proper name. Its a shameful name given to our great area with strong traditions and values. Well i can't stress any more that this ridiculous name needs to go. what the heck is sooba sarhad?? This is not a proper name this is just the description of the location of this region on the map of Pakistan. This nameless name of the province has been there for 96 years because of some cunning britts and we still want to continue to live in a NAMELESS province?? anyways i believe u r non serious and what i get from your comments is just a waste of my time. May Allah help us all. Ameen

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

The MMA's proposals clearly demonstrate that there is, and has never been a consenus even among Pashtuns for a name change.

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

You continue to make fun of the name Sooba Sarhad. What's wrong with a name that is very similar to Sooba Punjab, Sooba Sindh, and Sooba Balochistan.

BTW, I have a question for all the Kabuli nationalists.

What did Bacha Khan Sahib rah, propose as a name for Sooba Sarhad?

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

Hindukush may not be politically correct but represents historical facts.
and could align a lot of people especially Kashmiris.

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

Whats wrong with NWFP? It roughly translates to Sooba Sarhad in Urdu already.

Kyber is a better alternative.

Those Dar ul and Bab ul sound like big ass sooba-come-madrassah names :P

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

What about Hindkostan given the large majority of Hindko speaking ppl.

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

Please, it sounds too hinduistic. Although I myself am a Hindko, I wont support it, even if our Hindkos get together for a name change, coz I dont want to rename it, it is lovely, as brother 5abi says. I just want a better future for every citizen inside Pakistan, not friggin name changes, they dont bring about anything.

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

North West Frontier Province (NWFP) is roughly translated into Urdu as "Shumal Maghreb Sarhad Soobha" (SSSS). What a mouthful. :)

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

Khyber if taken from Khyber Agency is a part of FATA and not NWFP.

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

SMSS actually :snooty:

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP

Re: MMA proposes three Islamic names for NWFP
