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!

Pull out your swords and slay anyone that says Pashtun and Afghan are not one. Arabs know this and so do Romans: Afghans are Pashtuns and Pashtuns are Afghans!
KhushalKhanKhattak (1613–1689) was a prominent Afghan(pashtun) poet, warrior, charismatic personality and tribal chief of the Khattak tribe of the Afghans.He is the first Afghan mentor who presents his theories for the unity of the Afghan resistance against the foreign parts, and the creation of a nation-state.
The Musakheel are a sub tribe of the kakar's. the khattak are also not a sub tribe but a regular tribe. Also where is the safi tribe on your list there Mayan?
First of all swati and khan is not a tribe name, swat is a nameof a place, and khan is a title and also many hindos in india and pakistan adopted khan as their last name after converting to islam. Most of the KHels are subtribes( could be thousands)
Pashtanajana, haveyou ever wondered what momand means. What is is derived from? I'd like to know.
Some kaums are known for name of area or famous ancestor. Momands, i dont know. Even the two areas dont explain the original meaning as in the momand agency in pk and momand darra in ningarhar.
hahaah 30 is not tribes number . hahaha indian people muslims they also called v r khan like sAlman khan amir khan :-P
Salman khan and sharrukh khan all have Pashtun anscestry in them. Mostly all the khans in Bollywood and India who carry the name khan are of Pashtun descent. The fake khans are mostly the punjabis of pakistan who carry the name for no reason whatsoever.
