But why most of the Afghans like to speak in dari or farsi whatever I don't know but not pashto. Most of the media persons, most of the officials and most of the educated people like to speak dari. why not pashto. may be you also speak dari most of the time.

Because Pashtun rulers of the past 300 neglected Pashto and didnt invest in making Pashto a modern academic language.

The reason why Pashtuns are backwards is because he have a sick mentality where we never invest in our future. We only thinkg about our own belly and ego. We can't really sacrifice for our future.

I don't know what part of the world you are from, but humans have a choice. I can speak in Dutch, Dari, or Urdu if I want to. Pashto, unfortunately, is not widely used in academics because it's not as developed as Dari. Things are slowly changing, and it's an indisputable fact that Pashto is used throughout Afghanistan. It's influence is found in every aspect of Afghanistan. That, however, doesn't mean Dari should be neglected. Both are official languages, and you have a choice. In the South, people speak Pashto or Dari, but Pashto is far more dominant and preferred. In the North, people speak Dari or Pashto, but Dari is far more dominant. Given how the Northerners control most of the media, it's bound to be in Dari. That, however, doesn't nullify the fact that there are now thousands of websites in Pashto, plenty of rising of channels in Pashto, the majority of which stems from Afghanistan. So while things are improving, I agree there is plenty of room for improvement.

may be you also speak dari most of the time.

I speak many different languages. I, however, prefer and speak in Pashto. There is nothing wrong with Dari, or French, so let's not make it appear that way. Pashto indisputably needs improvement from lar and bar.

He wasn't that much of a Muslim and patriot when he was in the parliament.

But lets forget the past, and accept the fact that right now he has the guts to speak the way he speaks right now.

How can this thug be a Muslim when he accepts half of Qoran? Just because he says some verses of the Qoran??????
