Re: Urdu speaking Pashtuns from UP
thanx for finding it out on your own…MaliHabad doesn’t have any sizable Pashtun community per se…his forefathers prolly came from AfGhanistan and settled in Shahjahanpur/Rampur areas of UP where we see a lot of people who look like Pashtuns. there are a large number of students from these areas at Aligarh Muslim University and i personally had a few friends whom you could easily mistakenly identify as Pashtuns/AfGhanis.
we used to jokingly say that everyone should get married to beautiful girls in Shahjahanpur and/or Rampur!
