[Wrayun]

If you were asked to note a single quality of Pukhtoons that distinguishes and make them stand out from the rest, what would it be?

Then you never met Turks, Persians, Arabs or Jews.

[Laila]

Aww come on, try again.

Its actually true


Okay, okay....fine here is a more serious answer, their attitude. I guess we have this 'I will never back down' kind of thing, not necessarily honor that i am trying to get at.......

i wished more of our men were boxers.

hospitality.

we will help out anyone in need.
we will invite you in no matter what, if there is no space for you we will make space.
we are not only hospitable to other pashtuns, but to everyone and anyone
and it is not just hospitality for the sake of looking good to others, instead it's very sincere.

[IamDZJ]

family orientated
overly defensive and extremely possessive

Hmmmm i think the whole hospitality card doesnt make us quite stand out you know. Because its more of all Afghans that do that

Oh, right, sure.

Ghairat is the driving emotion which leads us to protecting the dignity of any relative, male or female, and having this attitude towards any fellow human being. There is the emotion itself, which is driven by adherence to a code of customs, and there is the 'imaani and islaami' ghairat which is driven by the need to fulfill commanded responsibilities.

[Feroza_Banu]

extremely "sar zor" people... i don't know how to describe this but pashtoons won't agree on something even if they know the other person is 100% correct, just to avoid defeat...

pashtoons hate defeat, even if takes them to hell... hence, 'sar zor'

[emkhan]

simplicity and innocence
