Why do Punjabis look down on pukhtoons?

hein??

i don't know about otherz but i sure dont

gotta go will reply in detail later

You'd better not.

when say 'pakhtoons' you mean Pathan?

thats a stereotype as far as I'm concerned...I've never looked down on them nor has neone I've known for that matter...what does it matter neways?

exactly sharaft kai namaonai just say pathan why be posh and say pakhtoon

I have never heard of Punjabis looking down on Pakhtoons....

barabar ba e ko, che moonga ta pa dasi nazar ke ogoori.

Pakhtoons are usually tall. How can Punjabis look down on them. More importantly Pakhtoons are hattay kattay as well. Apni jaan sabb ko piyari honee chahiyay.

what in the world is that? :p

vaise, its not a stereotype that I know. One of our math’s teacher once said that "pathans are vulgar" though I'm not sure whether he was pointing at some certain group of pathans.
Besides that, there have always been clashes among Punjabis and Pathans here in Qatar. Believe it or not but many times, like a Pathan ambassador comes in he brings more Pathans from Pakistan and same goes for Punjabis.

This is all new to me.

We're Punjabis, and one of my cousins married a Pathani lady.

I second that and such threads must be deleated immediately.... This is the first time I've heard such BS.

i’m serious, why would i lie?

it probably only happens amongst our generation in the uk, i’m not saying it’s only punjabis it’s a two-way thing. it might not happen in america or pakistan.

to whoever said that i’m trying to be posh by using pakhtun, that is the proper term, pathan is a hindi word made up by indians.

taz man still pathan sounds better then pakhtun

I think this is 2 way process....and it is not only ounjabis who dislike others..same is the case with all others nature...mentally sick persons whereever they are ..who ever they are tend to look down at others.....

i have seen some punjabis , mohajirs, pathans do this......

well same goes for pathans looking down at punjabiz

i kno sum pathan ppl who're always dissing punjabiz and acting as if pathans r the only ones that exist in this world

it's pathetic, i hate all this racist crap...i mean u live in the same country, how can u defend yerself from other countries when ur still fighting amongst eachother

anyways i have all different kindsa friends..i can give 2 cents about wut race or color they are...plus both my maamiz r pathans

It's a mutual thing. Whoever wants to be racist will be. It has little to do with being a Pathan or Punjabi.

Btw, Pakhtun is the correct pronounciation. Nothing 'posh' about it.

^ or Pashtun ;)

I've seen a lot of racism in Pakistan--> once when my family was coming back to England the customs man (a Punjabi although racism isn't restricted to one group) stopped us and said "they've come from Peshawar so recheck them for drugs"

Needless to say my parents gave him hell and that was the last time we went via Islamabad.

Hey, I've encountered that customs officer too. Gave him hell but still go through Islamabad. Moonga na zan nashi khlasole.

^ Lol! Yeah we encountered a lil racism in Islamabad and Lahore too. But I'm sure Punjabis from those cities get their share when they come to Pekhawar. Very very sad.
