Sooba Sarhad was part of Sooba Punjab until 1902 - A bit of history

Thanks for correction. It was meant to say Sooba Sarhad was the youngest province (of British-India) to join (modern day) Pakistan.

By mentioning this, the intention was to point out the fact that no-one talked about naming Sarhad as Afghania or Pashtunistan when British were around.

The name was made an issue by some socialist, pro-communist Pashtoons much later until after 1947.

Surely the issue was exploited by the Pashtoon leaders of ANP (Wali Khan) and PPP (Aftab Sherpao).

This is what we call, British kay samnay bheegi billy, or upno kay samnay sher when it comes to the name of Sooba Sarhad.
