Am i a true pashtun?

[Gulbabo]

So what does this have to do with my question? Food is food.. it is there to make us live... and i eat healthy anyway i dont eat daal.. because i do martial arts

what do u consider yourself?

[khan_man]

Well which grand dad, your maternal or paternal? Also, do you know your exact tribe?

At the same time, there are many Pakistanis who claim pashtun ancestry just for glamorization purposes. Also, pathan is a derogatory term.

My paternal grandfather and so on..

And i understand that pakistanis claim this but if our actual genetics are of the tribal pashtuns that live near mountains then we are the same really but bought up in a different environment.

Also why is pathan a derogatory term?

[KhyberKhan]

Why do you chose to speak punjabi?

You're probably still on the brink of being pashtun but any more dilution is gona make you a paki

If you consider yourself one, then why not? Who cares what people thing or say, and dhaal is rich of protein, so its healthy if taken right.

it was intended to make the poster giggle... but since u mention it further.

do u eat dhaal everyday?... the answer would be no... pakistanis eat dhaal every day, and they call it 'zaiqai ke liye, side dish'....

and majority of pashtoons eat shorwa once a day... make it as a side dish, just like dhaal is a side dish for pakistanis...

even in weddings back home (villages) the first thing they serve is shorwa, in small bowls and rice is followed afterwards...

anways, my post wasn't a serious one though.

dude I'm a KPK pashtun and we never eat shorwa.

its not my fault u have replaced shorwa with dhaal. don't be mad at me!

for Afghanistan pashtoons, shorwa is the ultimate food.... hamda wus che yaw ghat da shorwa kasa wei, per da psa ghwakha aw patatai wei, aw tawda wacha dodei aw, yakhai shlombay sara la salad aw da gharma wakht... tsona ba khwand woki... yummmyyy!

[Michin Khel]

I am a Khan... my family are from pakistan.. we have family in peshawar ect. I was born in the UK and have lived here my whole life..
My grandad speaks pashtun but we were bought up to speak punjabi.
We are Lohani Pathans.
Are my genetics/DNA pashtun?
Would i be considered a "real" or "true" pashtun or are we "fake"?

If you speak punjabi then you are a punjabi.

[sgulab]

P.S ive never had shorwa so my choice is dhaal. Especially Moong dhaal

[Sheenka]

these people are complexed who drag food into everything , to be honest living in the west i bet they all eat pasta and sanwhiches too so does that means they become english or american or german , its just sad how every thread gets mocked.

[unknownprince]

As long as you are pashtun through your father, you are pashtun


Besides, I don't know why your asking this question, Peshawar is a mostly Pashtun city, but if you dance the Bhangra, then Im sorry, I have no answer for you.

no i don't eat that but i'm sure you do,and your friends, me i don't mock peoples food ,why because allah swt can make you alergic to everything, and you might be reduced to things you mocked the most, you might have to eat that only 12 months a year , so i don't mock as i'm on limited food which is not much , i cook shorwa but dont eat it i cook rice but dont eat it i cook every helmand dish there is but dont eat it , so think before you mock.

i used to hae shorwa when i was a kid. i would always ask for an egg to eat with the bread.
