Its interesting to see Mehmood Khan Achakzai present.Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
-Ferishta, 1560–1620

Malgariya, please elaborate your claim the Mashar Mahmood Khan works for Pakistan. Pashtunkhwa MAP has a very radical and compact manifesto for the Pashtuns of Pakhtunkhwa.Originally posted by handsomepashtunMehmood Khan himself works for Pakistan and develops Pakistan. He is nothing better than any other sindhi politician. He is sitting in Pakistani parliament.

By the way, this gathering was over blown. It was the second seminar convened by East-West Institude which was preceded by once in Abdu Dhabi, I think. It is a series of seminars. I knew about these seminars but didn't know that this gathering was part of it.
By the way here is a shorthand report of the first gathering: http://www.ewi.info/system/files/Abu...Report_WEB.pdf
