Only becuase Pashtuns tend to be lighter skinned than Punjabis. -
It proves not all Punjabis have hatred to the Pashtun. Don't know why some of us are consumed by racism for them then.Originally posted by RevolutionThroughReason View Post
Its the Pashtuns reputation as tough-ass people. In Pakistan there is an impression that all Pashtuns are the great sword of Pakistan-the upholders of the Pakistani union... each single Pashtun a patriot who would die for his country.

It is mainly the Yusafzais from Swat and Peshawar/Mardan/Charsadda, etc. that are the most patriotic "Pakistani" Pashtuns. Ironically, they are also among the the least armed and practically non-violent tribes.Originally posted by haviZsultan View PostComment

You totally misunderstood my post then; they do have a great deal of animosity towards Pashtuns but it isnt because they look down at Pashtuns; but envy Pashtuns due the legacy of Pashtun history and having been historically subjugated by pashtuns; Punjabi males feel emasculated and reduced to effeminacy by Pashtuns.[QUOTE=Afghanistan2010;658085][B]He is no different [COLOR="Red"]than us[/COLOR][/B],[B]he[COLOR="Red"] blindly believes [/COLOR]in the words [COLOR="Red"]of other men[/COLOR][/B],:[/QUOTE]

Pashtuns may be portrayed as illiterate, backward, brutish barbarians but they are never considered "sweepers". That position is reserved for Punjabi Christians in Pakistani society.Originally posted by RevolutionThroughReason View PostComment

They eat only chicken and very little "mutton", but almost no beef at all.Originally posted by RevolutionThroughReason View PostComment

Actually Pashtuns, except in urban areas, don't eat much meat, because they have to depend on animals for work and such.Originally posted by Kurmewal View Post
Punjabis eat all that Mughlai food; which is all meat, they eat tons of Goat (Kachar).[QUOTE=Afghanistan2010;658085][B]He is no different [COLOR="Red"]than us[/COLOR][/B],[B]he[COLOR="Red"] blindly believes [/COLOR]in the words [COLOR="Red"]of other men[/COLOR][/B],:[/QUOTE]

"Punjabis" in Islamabad/Rawalpindi eat mostly chicken and all famous meat dishes, including lasagna, have a chicken variant that is much more popular."Mutton" means goat in Pakistan. Sheep/lamb are only eaten by "tribal" Pashtuns and Baluch.Originally posted by RevolutionThroughReason View PostComment

Frankly most Punjabis do not really care about all that and this is not their thinking. At least the more religious Punjabis I've met think of Pashtuns as the sword of Islam gloating over how Pashtuns can never be subjugated. lol.Originally posted by RevolutionThroughReason View Post

The Afridis of Kohat and Darra can be patriotic Pakistanis at times, but this sentiment is quite weak amongst the Khyber ones.Originally posted by haviZsultan View PostComment

Khattaks and Yousafzais were amongst the most subdued by the British.Afridis are generally of mixed opinion, like many Khattaks in recent times.Yousafzais of Peshawar valley in particular, however, are the most watered-down ("brainwashed"/"brown-washed"Originally posted by Adam
Pashtuns.Excluding you, nearly everyone in Swat loves Pakistan. Having never been to your ancestral land, you are not very educted about these matters.
