How does Afghan mean Pashtun nowadays?

[Pukhtoon007]

I would like to further strenthen the fact that: Afghans = Pashtuns
To clarify this further; Pashtuns are ethnically Afghans; do not confuse it with Nationality.

Afghan is a synonym for Pashtuns. We the Pashtuns are the only Afghans. Tajik, Uzbek and Hazara are not Afghans. They are non Afghan ethnic groups living in Afghanistan. Stan means 'Place of'. So Afghanistan means Place of Afghans/Pashtuns.

'Afghan' is basically a Sanskrit word. It is the Arab adaptation of a Sanskrit tribalname, Asvaka/Avagana.

Again the Non Afghan Ethic groups can be called Afghanistanis; meaning people of Afghanistan but cannot be called Afghans.

So even if the Pashtuns in Pakistan are called Pakistanis; since they are living in Pakistan....they are very much ethnic Afghans living in Pakistan.

So therefore, Afghan/Pashtun is our ethnicity, Afghanistan is the Place of Afghans/Pashtuns and Pashtuns originally belong to Afghanistan; they may currently be living in any country or on any planet.

This should lay to rest any confusion in this regard.
