    Pashto Reader Originals

    The "Pashto Reader Originals" is one component of the "Pashto Reader", a set of
    materials designed to enable the student of Pashto to read modern written Pashto.
    These originals are computer scans of most of the passages containing authentic
    materials in the Pashto reader. Presents original published or photographed forms to
    give the students practice in dealing with the language exactly as it appears in
    newspapers, books, magazines, handwriting, advertising, and wall paintings. The 37
    selections are presented in 6 units: essays; articles; stories; poetry; public
    writing; and letters and memoranda.

    Authors - Tegey, Habibullah; Robson, Barbara

    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
