Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

Mullahs playing the nationalist card. Tsk.

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

Correction, these are not just Mullahs. these are ANP's and Pukthoonkhawa milli ittehaad and that crap, also.

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

Nothing worng iwth naming it Afghania, but I think there should be a referendum on the issue. Let the people of NWFP decide.

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

I know the nationalists already supported this movement, but I thought the mullahs found all this stuff haraam i.e. natiionalism.

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

Not every Afghan (e.g. Paki Pashtun) is an Afghanistani and not every Afghanistani (e.g. Tajik, Uzbek, Hazara) is an Afghan.

Afghan means Pashtun.

They will still be Pakistani just like Punjabis are Pakistanis, if Khalistan became independent from India and called itself Punjab it wouldn't mean Pak-Punjab is a part of it too.

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

what is the A in Pakistan for again?

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

Are you pathan by chance? :D

The issue in the "bolded text" aside, I don't see any harm if pathans want to name their province something else. I seriously don't know what is the controversy behind it? Instead of being on the defensive, we should shove it to the fawwganistanis to suck it up as Pakistan as an entity has been accepted in the UN [it didn't do jack for fawwghanistanis to be against us in 1947] and the area chose pakistan in the referendum. KAPISH
While we are at it, make northern areas a part of Pakistan and delink it from kashmir as historically and culturally, it is not kashmiri.

As for those fawwghans who still try to do some misadventure, control them through intelligence like Israel's and BLAST THEM if that comes as a last resort.

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

They do have a right to call themselves whatever they want. But Afghania will at some point in future give rise to unification with Afghanistan. All border areas with a strong ethnic people split has this problem sooner or later. Oh well

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

very nice name.

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

Oh that's just a slogan for the near future. Only God knows what will be the map of this world in the year 3000.

However I can assure you that Afghanistan will be the same dusty, poverty stricken, warlord-infested land, unless a new Nabi comes and fixes this Gad-awful place of a country.

And any one "uniting" with Afghanistan will only do so in one way, occupy it and rape it like so many have done in the last many centuries.

Ruskies, Brits, then Commies, then Americans, then Europeans and the process of Afghan depravity goes on and on and on.

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

Errrrr Azad Kashmir (POK) which includes Muzafrabad and Mirpur are also NOT historically, culturally or linguistically a part of Kashmir, they should be made a part of Punjab... Also don't forget, Baltistan is HALF in Pakistan, the other half is in India, and Kashmiris of Kargil which is a part of Baltistan just like Skardu is VERY MUCH consider themselves kashmiri and also speak both koshur and shina.

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

Exactly!

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

i don’t agree, naming shud be unique otherwise kids get confused:D , see if they have question in geography which ask what is the capital of afghanistan, then what willl you write, Peshawar or Kabul :naraz:

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

Afghania and Khyber are both good names. I like Khyber better. They should name it that.

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

Put all the options to a referendum, and let's see what the people say? I bet nowhere near 50% will support any one name.

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

I think they should rename both Punjab and NWFP as Afghanistan. It will make Punjabis like moin happy and Pashtuns happy as well.

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

NWFP is a terrible name. I think it should be renamed Afghania in accordance with the history of Pakistan.

If there is a Baluchistan in Iran, Punjab in India then why not Afghania?

Re: NWFP govt. proposes to rename the province to

kia baat kar rahay ho bhai, Moin can be happy only if Punjab gets renamed to something like Al-Punjab but unfortunately his Arab "brothers" will be calling it "Al-Bunjab".
