However, my experience is biased as is yours because of who we grew up with. My personal experience has been Punjabis are about 100% the opposite of the historical Pashtoon culture, especially with things like nang, namoos, etc. These things simply do not matter much to them in practice or spirit. They are also not a fighting people and never known for being very klak so this also weighs in on my opinion of the two cultures.
Things like melmastiya, generousity, nanawatay, I've seen it, not as extreme as Pashtoons, but nonetheless seen it with other Farsibaan ethnic groups but laughable to expect these things in even close to the same manner amongst Punjabis.
Also, as an aside, I have NEVER heard some of the things Punjabis say about Pashtoons from any Farsibaan, ever, except for a few times on a message board here and there. The tenor and feel of the relationship is much different between Pashtoons and Punjabis and Pashtoons and Farsibaans - the latter being more positive.


.. also see you being Pashtun (afghanistani will( be more comforatbel with farsibans,, we being pashtuns (Pakistani) are more comfortable with punjabies..
