Pashtuns as Iranian people?

[Ambatin]

All indic groups have caste system, pashtuns have tribal system This is alien to your ganga Civillization.

India's diversity is extreme. North, South, East, West. Pashtuns could just be another Indic race, on the outskirts of Indosphere.

No other country can match India's diversity, some example in geography:

From this:



To this:

[Akbar]

Proud to be Paracha a sophisticated people . Now go to mountains and return to the Pashtun profession of being highwaymean.

There is nothing sophisticated about parachas.
Hardly anyone considers you or you sophisticated talents.
You must be on crack to think Pashtuns are highway men.

[Elias]

Afghans and specifically Pashtuns.

Ah ok, so we are all Khorasanion according to the hadiths.
Imagine Balochs, Pashtuns and Tajiks under one banner and following the same aim. We could conquer the universum.

[jama0112]

Honestly, who gives two hoots about this iranic mumbo-jumbo?
We are what we are: Pahstuns. Despite cultural and historical differences, we consider tajiks and balochis(along with nuristanis and probably also dardics) as our brothers, and to some extent, even punjabis.

[Elias]

Pashtun culture is closer to Indians than to Iranian plateu people. its time you embrace your inner Indian. Lol

welcome to the Indian umbrella, brothers.

Lol you wished you could be like your conquerors.
Can it be possible that you have Stockholm syndrom?

That's very true
We have too much in common.

Every Indic person wishes this was true ...so they can go around saying "We waz Pathanz"

lol

The theory states that a some millennia ago, there was a group of people, Aryan(Iranian in English). They multiplied into lots of groups and separated over large distances forming their own empires(and their language evolving into different languages). Two such separated groups are 'Persians' and 'Pashtuns'.
This theory does not say that 'Persian Culture' = 'Pashtun Culture'. It just says that both of the groups had a common ancestor a long time ago.
Make's sense doesn't it?

P.S. I would put Pashto Language older than Persian Language(in terms of closeness to the ancient Aryani language).

[Firdousi]

Khorasan just means east or where the sun rises similar to what "Orient: Oriental" means. The Persians referred to what was East of them as Khorasan.

Thats partially true, dude. Yeah Khorasan means "where the sun rises" just like "Maghreb" means "where the sun dies" but it has also a cultural and historical meaning. It was the way Persians called to the Eastern Iranian provinces. India is not Khorasan.

Pashtuns from the tribal areas are not Khorasanis. Herat, Balkh, Samarqand, Bukhara, Merv, Panjkent, Tus, Neyshabur, are considered as Khorasan. Sometimes even Kabul and Ghazni were included but Kandahar and Jalalabad are not Khorasan. I find hilarious how Pashtun nationalist and Pashtun pro-Talibans are trying so hard to relate themselves to this term, but its just cultural appropiation.

BTW Tajiks also claim that Khorasan only belongs to them which is also BS. A Pashtun guy was the last king of Khorasan (Abdullah DUrrani) and several Persianized Turkic tribes ruled this land for almost a millenia.

Nationalism is s tupid lol

Lol-the man who claims to be the field prize winner in maths but does not know how to prove fundamental theorems of calculus. Pathetic.

[Toramana]

Guys Pashruns are East Iranic a shade of the diverse grouping . So why you guys argue?

The country of Pashtuns has never been referred to as Khurasan in medieval sources. Even early Durrani sources mention Afghanistan (Pakhtunkhwa) and Khurasan as distinct geographical entities.
