@Mezhgan Swords, knives and nowadays guns are our jewellary thats why would be also decorated on walls
Some people , specially from urban centres of punjab and sindh find our this tendency very “disturbing”. I was watching an old bollywood movie “junoon” 1978 based on an english novel “flight of the pigeons”, based on true account. A rohilla pathan of shahjahanpur kidnaps an english lady and her daughter in the riots of 1857. It was interesting to see how pathans were depicted in that movie. On horses, always carried sword and these daggers as well as bandooq when outside, very distinguished from other hindostanis. This “jewellary” was our “laatti” and we made “bains” ours with it.

Those people who don’t know history and culture… they will think it differently…

PTV (Pakistan Television) always showed Bandooq and Talwar in their Dramas…
