    Pashtunwali - translation



    Pashtunwali by Khadim https://www.pashtunforums.com/forum/...39-pashtunwali has been translated into English and provided with comments. Unfortunately, I can not put it all in, but if anyone is interested in any chapters or fragments, please let me know, I will post here a translation of the relevant chapters.
    This is a kind of rough translation, focused rather on the content and characteristic language style than on the correct English.

      No. It has been translated but not with the intention of official publication.

          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

            Pashtunwali is not written. Much of it can be explained from an evolutionary biology point of view ie the concept of namos is mate guarding, badal concept is to prevent exploitation by an aggressor.
