| I am a new member of this forum as of today! I am a Pashtun but from a non-Pashtun region, I currently alternate between the Europe and Asia for my legal profession and studies. Being from a non-Pashtun region, I am researching about Pashtun culture, beliefs, practices etc a lot now [before, I was taught a lot of the values by my father but did not know they were actually exclusive to Pashtun or not]. I have been reading some of the threads with a lot of interest and every topic seems to offer fresh knowledge. I look forward to conversing with you and sharing ideas, and do accept my best wishes!

| Welcome aboard. A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows! -Ferishta, 1560–1620 |
