Talk about facts and be called a pakhtun hater. You know what, I don’t care but do answer them.

Btw, you didn’t put a time limit on the “patriotism” of fata tribes so I was offering another perspective that not all of them are the same. Please tell us if there was a revolt in FATA in 1947 (yes or no) and if FATA tribes had seats in afghan loya jirga while being part of Pakistan until the eighties (yes or no). Good luck to those tribes or anyone that actually supports Pakistan.

Alright I’ll play ball.

Sure there was a revolt in FATA based on the fact that the Paksitani government failed to recognize the diversity of the tribe (an agreement with the Wazirs does not equal an agreement with the Afridis) however the vast majority of the tribes accepted and agreed to be part of Pakistan. If they had not, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for the Pakistanis to hold on to what is now known as FATA. Backed by a hostile Afghanistan, the Pakistani border would have started on the outskirts of Pekhawar.

I’d like to see proof of these seats in the jirga – however I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case. The tribes FATA are part of the Pakhtun Nation and have common bonds, tribal affinities that exist across the border. Before this war in Afghanistan the border was not a deterrent in crossing back and forth between the countries. Like I said before, if Pakistanis are threatened by this fact then, lets talk about when it counts (during wars, national disasters).

And yes, there is a time limit to the thread. Open up a Kashmir thread and I’ll be happy to discuss 1948.
