But, Nowruz-e-tan-khojasta baad everyone.

Are you prepared? Do you cook samanak? Do you play music with the traditional Arya instrumental called Dap (or the Arabized version "Daf")? I certainly do. It's celebrated on the 21st by the way. Please refrain from gaining approval of our traditions from foreign sources like the US Government. They bomb our nation while greeting us for our new year. That is not okay - that is called being two faced. So f_uck USA and her allies.

I believe Nawroz actually originates from Mesopotamia like many things The actual practice of Nawroz doesn't seem to have much evidence prior to the Achaemenids who conquered Mesopotamia and absorbed many of their cultural customs into mainstream Persia

Aria, watch over your head. Those that have recruited you might some day consider you a "savage" and bang your butt just like Khris Kyle the "American sniper" did to "rig-heads" in Iraq.

After all you are a "brown-skinned savage".

How many Afghan-Pakhtuns, if any, actually celebrate Nawroz?

[Brown Skinned Savage]

I celebrate it, so does my family, BUT it's not as big where we're from as it is in cities which are predominantly Farsi zuban like Kabul, Herat and Mazar-i-Sharif.

How many Afghan-Pakhtuns, if any, actually celebrate Nawroz?

If I remeber from my childhood the whole Khost celebrated it, only we did not do samanak and the other things that Tajiks in the North do. We did had family gatherings and fun....
