Pashtun Unity

[MazloomyarMaseed]

I would like to make this thread for those who have any good suggestions of what ways and methods could we use to unite all Pashtuns.

This thread should be open to all views and opinions.

Let the debate begin.

[MazloomyarMaseed]

I will start the debate as follows.

I support Pashtun unity through education, common interest and culture/language. First step for this Unity I beleive, is that we educate ourselves to learn how to spell in Pushto and to translate many works of the world into Pushto, Once we keep our lines of communication strong, then other languages can not dominate us at all.

My second step, would be to establish laws and abolish the whole talk of provinces and agencies, since we are all the same people, I am happy for a pashtun from Kandahar to be my neighbour in makeen, we should establish routes and roads that provide us access to every pashtun region regardless of our tribe and clan.

My third step, is to unite all pashtuns under one common interest, being that we all have to accept at the end of the day, we only have one side to follow, and thats our own people. Political groups will vary and have different opionions and views in regards to issues unrelated to Unity, but however every Pashtun who doesnt threaten our national unity should be included regardless of their Political affliation.

My fourth Step, is to participate outside of our borders to promote who Pashtuns are and what we want from the world, I would encourage our people to follow the example of the berlin wall and realise that our unity will bring fortune/success just as it did to the Germans after the collapse of the soviet union.

First of all I think Pashtuns need to stop to identificate themselves with a specific tribe because tribal identity is a barrier to national identity and unification.
I dont want Pashtuns to forget who their fathers and grandfathers were and I dont want them to forget to their tribal history.
But a disctinctive tribal identity demands loyalty to the tribe only. I can try to explain this phenomenon in detail if anyone of you is interested in.

Next is that we Pashtuns need to start to educate our Pashtun brothers and sisters in their own history, their role in world politics since the Great Game until now so they may become aware of the importance of their unification as a nation. We need to rewrite our history with the help of Afghan/Pashtun historians. We should start to educate ourselves and analyze works of Pashtun scholars like Ustad Benawa, Ustad Ulfat and many others. We should translate their works into every european language for those Pashtuns who can not read and write their own language. Pashtuns outside Afghanistan/Pashtunkhwa can be educated in western sciences but works of Pashtun scholars in Pashto remain unread.

I'm talking about Abdur Rauf Benawa, Gul Pacha Ulfat, Abdulhay Habibi, Habibullah Tegay, Mhmd Ibrahim Khwakhozhi, Aminullah Zmaryalai, Abdul Shakur Reshad, Siddiqullah Reshteen, Amanullah Selaab, Hamza Sheenwaray, Ghulam Hassan Khan Safi and more.
I bought a book by the late Ustad Benawa where he lists over 200 Pashtun writers and scholars together with excerpts of their work on over 1000 pages. Its just an example of how rich Pashto literature is. I see many of their ideas represented here on this forum in many ways. Isn't it important for us to know what Pashtun intellectuals think and write?

It depends who they are. We have all sorts of people posing as intellectuals. There are many communists and fascists today in Afghanistan and Pashtunkhwa posing as intellectuals.

^I am interested, can you further explain your 1 paragraph.

Pashtun tribes have always lived in small communities where all families belong to the same tribe. Because the central state was abstinent and the natural ressources were short they had to administrate their land and ressources by themselves. Therefor they would build tribal militia (arbakee) to guard their tribal territory and to watch over their own ressources. Over the centuries pashtun tribes cultivated a warrior culture due to the fact that they faced constant threats from outside. Either they were attacked by conquerors, other tribes, or their land was infiltrated by nomads.
Each tribe had its own vital interests and competed against each other. This is where tribal feuds and rivalry come from. Every tribal member had to protect the communal interests of his own tribe to guarantee its survival. Pashtun tribes did not see each other as a Pashtun nation back then, they considered their own tribe as a small nation.
We say even these days "meezh Maseed yee, meezh Wazir yee, mung Afridi yo" and so on. Our history is oral history and every tribal Pashtun knows the history of his own tribe. Tribal hostility and badal is given from father to son, from generation to generation.
We say: If pashtun seeks revenge (badal) after one hundred years, that means he is still in a hurry.
Thats why I think strong tribal identity is a barrier to national unification.

They are from different eras and had different ideas. Ulfat and Benawa stand for progress. Others were pashtunpal and hewadpal. Aminullah Zmaryalai was more nationalist than you, Strategist Maseed and me together. If anyone is interested I can post some of his works here.
