    Admin Khan rora!!! Back to your original point.. .I would have to agree with you. Your assumptions are right about the lack of importance for education in the first place, nothing wrong with being a whatever as long as you become successful at it. Our pakhtuns need to evolve and learn to evolve. We not not need to think of earning money as most of them do, prestige and respect within the society has its own value that money cant buy. The is the assumption of many east coast Pakhtun Taxi drivers.

                        Don't know what garage you have been to but of the two garages I worked at in New York City, while I was a student (both garages in Queens) one had a Pakhtun dispatcher and the other did not, most of the drivers were Pakhtuns(same is the case for UAE, Saudi etc.).... Of all the passengers I used to talk to (mostly the old timers) I learned that every nation has come worked driving cabs but after a generation moved on, first it was Eastern Europeans who left driving to the Italians (if you watch old English movies you will see Italians), and finally till today the sub-continent people including Pakhtuns but according to them, the people of the sub-continent have held on to the business the longest... not that the same people are doing it, but as the example I gave, Pakhtun parents(the ones in my garage) all say that they will bring their children to the US when they are old enough to work/drive... that is the progression that I am talking about.

                        As for education and importance, we each need to emphasize its importance. I remember being told that once I became a driver I would never leave it as the money was non-taxable(lolzzz) to the extent of whatever I "want" to declare and in a sense easy money. I for the forst 3-4 years of my professional career used to make less than when I was a cab driver but you know what... I recovered in 4 years, have career along with the other benefits of a professional career... nothing wrong with being a cab driver but we need to make it a stepping stone and progress... not bring our children from countries back home to become future cab drivers... we need to progress, we need our children to progress along with our daughters...

                                I know exactly which garage you are talking about, and can affirm that what you are saying is absolutely accurate.

                                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!
