Mostly conquest in my opinion, their armies were some of the most fearsome in history.

This question has already been asked before: http://www.pashtunforums.com/showthread.php?t=36417

Also being looters and conquerors is not really history but if it is, then the mongols would take the prize for that. They were probably one of the best conquerers of all time considering the size of their empire that spanned 2 continents.

Curious. Since when AQ Khan a pashtun?
Ok he maybe people address him as "khansaab" but is there any, even a thread of evidence connecting him to a pashtun shajra..

[Khostai]

Nothing.

[Sarbani]

In addition to the answers given, Pashtuns won a number of records in squash (Jansher & Jehangir Khan).

yes,

1. soviets taking an afghan to space for pr purposes while they committed mass murder against afghans doesn't count.

2. not pashtun
3. is this really an achievement? come on

4. a couple of cricket guys doesn't really qualify as the best athletes.

5. pashtuns are not even close to being the "best conquerors." even hazaras in afghanistan have that distinction more than pashtuns.

Our empires were pretty formidable. We may not be in the same class as the Brits or Mongols but they can nevertheless be considered an achievement for Pashtuns.
