The decline of Pashto

[Smarty]

Ustaad, main Punjab se hun.

Meri koi dushmaani ney hain Pashto se. App ghalat famii mein ho. Aap khudhi dushmani paidaa kar re ho.

Ilzaam, humay shareef lokon ko ney lagaa na cha ye. Mera khandan toh sehi Muslamaan ka izzat kaar te hain. Pukhtawara huway, ya nakli Syed India se.

Aap lokh toh humari be-izzati kar re hain.

Izat se baat karo.

It wont work, you are basically saying that you are a nice and decent guy so punjab shouldnt be criticized for its sins.... [MENTION=1068]gadoonwal[/MENTION] has clarified it to you that by punjab he means its ruling elite, yet you annoy him and us with your grammatically incorrect urdu. What the fck is "hain"?

you people along with your counterpart urdu speakers hate pashtu .
Take an example of renaming pashtunkhwa.
The sindis,baluchis,seriakis supported our name but the punjabi opposed it why?
your lungmar shujaat husain went to hazara the next day and call on khindko speakers to rise and fight pashtuns for hazara province.
Still you want us to call you brother.
The sindis,baluchis etc do not want kalabag but you punjabis wants to build it up to destroy us forever.
you built turbela dam and after 40 years punjab control our electricity.
so you can have control over your wheat etc but we pashtuns can,nt why?
We have no control over our sources,our language is not recognise.
You brought ,,,isi,, proxy talibs to destroy our schools to keep us in dark.
You destroy afg so pashtuns will never rise.Many more things why we oppose your system and govt.

Is not it an irony that the PTI govt has excluded Bacha Khan and Ghani Khan sons of the soil from course books but in Punjab, the govt has included Bagat Singh in the course although I have high respect for Bagat Singh for being a freedom fighter, martyr, and revolutionary and appreciate the step by the Punjab govt.

soon they will make ranjeet sing nalwa is their national hero.
toramana,tell us whats wrong with these pashtuns in govt?
are they not pashtu speakers?
are they not pashtun?
did pashtuns protest against these changes?
we should blame these sell out pashtuns of PTI.
The JI leader seraj is from Dir and he is mashvani pashtun .
Now his mps and he himself hate pashtu,bacha khan etc.
Perwaiz,asad kaiser and others are also pashtuns.
These begerat pashtuns are following their agenda against pashtuns.
we should clean our own backyard first.

Please read this thread where I talk about the massive increase of Pashto books being published in eastern Afghanistan:

1. The Pashto language needs to have many great masterpieces in different disciplines translated in to Pashto so that people can see that Pashto can indeed be utilized at the highest level for academic subjects and is not merely a rural tongue in contrast to the supposedly "royal court" languages of Urdu and Farsi.

2. The internet is a great place - not reliant on compromised political authorities - to nurture the survival of Pashto and to make it flourish.

World masterpieces translated in to Pashto can be put in PDF format online and be ready for downloading.

Also audio-recordings of these translated masterpieces can be put up so that Pashtuns can listen to their language being used for high level discourse.


Here are some world masterpieces:

Islamic theology:

"Ihya Uloomud deen" (revival of the religious sciences) by Ghazali.




Science & Mathematics:

"Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" by Newton.



Newton


This will also help to indigenize Pashto-equivalent words and phrases for scientific, philosophical and other academic lexicons.

Its pashtuns fault. 250 years of pashtun rule in Afghanistan and our proud pashtun nationalist leaders have not been able to write a single book in pashto. Only Pata Khazzana a fake joke rejected by most of educated scholars in the world.

As we can read on this forum, pashtuns still blame on others all their miseries. ITS YOUR FAULT. You spent your life oppressing farsi. You think that if you impose on parsibaans pashto words such as pohantoon or darlmantoon you are going to boost pashto. Thats a big mistake.

Pashto is a beautiful language and its official in our country. Pashtuns should just wake up and educate themselves. Most of educated pashtuns in Afghanistan are persianspeakers, WHY?

**** Nationalism
**** languages
**** Race
**** Worrying about Race mixing between Punjabis, Tajiks, Hazaras and Pashtuns

Jamati islami is extremists wing of ,,isi,,and so called paki nationalism.
It was created to keep ethnic nationalism under control.
The head of mansoura head/q of JI is ex isi agent.
Imran ,s PTI came under the influence of ex-isi chief pasha.
Now PTI is working on anti-Pashtun agenda .
This is another attempt to keep Pashtun under control in the name of justice bs.
They are working on four things at present.
To support the war on terror in pashtunkhwa to destroy Pashtuns and forced them out of their land.
To pass the kalabag dam from provincial assembly .
To divide pashtunkhwa in ethnic line.
And to decline Pashtu language in the name of fake paki nationalism and lahori islamization.

Now the same ,,munafeq khan dose,nt support the seriaki province why?
The seraikis are oppressed and begging for their own province from the last 5 decades.
Pashtuns should wake up and kick munafeq khan Punjabi out of pashtunistan

I hear that in Afghanistan getting married to a persian speaker and speaking persian as a communication language is considered a sign of modern-ness/Elite class

Have only heard this from horse mouth,Not sure whether true or false

Again a lot of bullschit from a flat headed tajik, don't you get enough oxygen trough your hooked nose or something that you spew so much garbage?

Farsi was the court language and Pashtuns actualy promoted your kuni language, Pashtun never opressed it, we are not like you persians who opress other minorities, just look at Tajikistan and Iran. In Iran only 40% are persian the rest are different ethnic groups but still there is only one official language, in Tajikistan there are a lot of Uzacks but still they are all called tajik in there Pasport, and here in Afghanistan you Tajiks don't want to be called Afghan, lol and you call Pashtuns to be opressive, you persian are the bigest racist in Asia, so your should not even speak about opression becuase that is what you have been doing for thousands of years to pther people, and it is thank to Pashtun that Farsi is spoken in Afghanistan, what actualy was a big mistake by our leaders to use your language for goverment and court.

But using different language in court is not something only Pashtuns did, in Russia the courst language was French, in England royal family spoke German with each other, actulay untill 1920 in England the kings spoke german to each other. Only afterwards they changed it becuase of the WWI. So this is not something new, the problem was that PAshtuns were kind of late too change it to PAshtu, and that is becuase we didn't had any nationalists or what so ever, and even now there is hardly a Pashtun nationalistic movement, only some groups and they only want to Promote Pashtu language and nothing more, but this is just to much for fascist like you to swolow.
And cry about opression.

The status of Pashto in Afghanistan is improving each day and Pashtuns being the majority there will make sure it stays that way. However, the situation of Pashto in Pakistan looks pretty bleak with more and more Urdu loanwords added into it like there's no tomorrow and add to the fact that Pashtuns are a minority that support Urdu...
