why separate province? do u think with 3 districts ( manshera, abtabad nd haripur) u can hav separate province?
curruntly i m studing in amc abotabad nd have observed that people of these regions r close to kashmir or potohar region of punjab. so these punjabi-pathan areas shud b merged wid punjab like attock. but hazarawals hav to give pashto speaking regions like batagram, bisham,ogi nd srikot to NWFP.
