Imdad, your repute as another one of the provincial bashers (and army haters) is not exagerrated. The people of NWFP comprise of other ethnicities, than just Pakhtuns. They do not want to live in a province named 'Pakhtunistan', just like you do not want to live in a country called Pakistan. What about them?

So, does this name we can change Sindh's name to South East Border Province (SEBP) since mohajirs are a significant minority there?
thats what makes you a KID, 
. where do those BOMBS come from? Obviously Paki government.
very very disapointing, i PRAY to GOD :swt: to turn Pakistan into 10 times worst than Afghanistan:insha:. yeah if thats what you call us and are happy about, for GOD its not a hard job to do the same thing to Pakistan, is it? though the poorest parts of Afghanistan are still better than most of EASTERN Pakistan.
why try to make dissimilarity among us, we are not gona be of any good for you. what does that articl say, its not done by a PASHTUN/Afghan, so dont even try to think that way. and its just the dialects that differe not the ETHNIC. and you are saying that YOU are not the son of YOUR father.
Pak Taz, man you are a very funny fellaw.
and thats right it will be a part of Afghanistan, inshallah wa tallah.
Yee mera app logo say wada hay, inshallah een ayenda das saloo mein Pashtunistan Afghanistan kaa hojayega. kyo kee ham aleeda nahei rehsaktee. aor yeah mera QASAM hay, woo log joo Allah par yaqeen karte hein wo log samjaengey, aor woo dosro ko khuda samjaey.
Afghan = Pashtun / Pakhtun / Pushtun
Afghani = Pashto / Pushtu / Pakhto / Pukhtu
Pakistani = Punjabi
sory dats the opposite…here if u call ur self a Paki…its like saying..‘hey guys i am a Paki terrorist’.
i swear the respect that we have here in west is as much as we could have in any country of Asia.
ahaahhaahh very funny…
:stupid:
Is that why you moved from Afghanistan to Australia? 
You may think whatever you want chump, but NWFP is Pakistan, and theres nothing you AfGHANiz can do about it. Cry me a river.

There are many considerable minorities also living in Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan but these provinces are still called Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan. So what is wrong if we want to rename our province as Afghania or Pakhtnkhwa. Isn't it ironic that Nawaz Sharif government has vehemently opposed to rename the NWFP as Pakhtunkhwa but he himself raised the slogan of punjabi nationalism to win the elections.
Jinnah yielded to the muslim league members of north india who wanted to declare Urdu Pakistan's official language, despite the fact that this language was allien to the people of all provinces. It is a myth that Urdu is a msulim langauage it was spoken both by Hindus and muslims of northern India. It is a sanskrit based language with a large nunber of words (only nouns) borrowed from persian and arabic. Because Delhi and its surrounding areas were the center of many muslim empires and all of them used persian as official language, it was natural for the local languages to be effected by persian.
That is incorrect. Urdu was well known to various people in Pakistan, including the Punjabis who themselves adopted it much before Pakistan came into being, and even the Bengalis dabbled in Urdu literature. Balochis also adopted the Urdu script to write their language in. Sindhis are also familiar with the works of Urdu poets. And today, you have Afghans like Karazi who even know how to speak a little urdu and hindi. People as far away as Algeria are singing urdu/hindi songs from bollywood movies. Just goes to show that Urdu is a popular language.
Urdu is sanscript based and guess what? Majority of Muslims in india are Hindu converts, so it should come as no surprise that they would use a sanscript based language. Farsi would have been ideal as a national language, but Urdu does a decent job as it is.
The issue again, is not really what language is the national language, but how it is promoted with respect to regional languages.

No, it is nastliq script they adopted, which includes some alphabets not in farsi.
does anyone even know who declared URDU as a language?
Just a point in defense of Urdu it has one of the largest amounts of literature in Islam now after Arabic. I find it like persian a rich language which I have a lot of respect for, at the same time I believe it is essential as a link language in Pakistan..as Imdad pointed out it is essentially understood by all groups. But at the same time this does not mean the suppression of regional or provincial languages should occur 9as it has in pakistans past). Nor should the promotion of regional languages be at the expense of Urdu. Each has their own place and should be encouraged.
