Is Subservience to Non-Pashtuns Against our Culture?

[Levanaye Zalmaye]

Is it against our nang , ghairat (honor and dignity) and the spirit of Pashtunwaali to be ruled by non-Pashtuns?

Does it go against our self-respect to be answerable, loyal and subservient to 'foreign' higher authorities whether they hail from Central Asia, India or Europe?

"Foreigner" here means any "Outlander" or any "Non-Pashtun".

Edit: To avoid any unnecessary confusion here, I mean subservience in a political sense. Of course, in your universities, jobs, etc, you are answerable to someone who is senior to you - that has nothing to do with this.

hmm.....depends if u mean in our land den no. However not many pashtuns are educated and they'll put prioirty of pashtunwali before any gain. and its a dog world out der so sometimes u may have to give ova fings priority.

Yes it is. We are the type of trend setters that we do not want to be ruled from anybody. We just do not like it.

it's almost as if it's again our culture. We can't be beghairat.

agree

No not at all... why shld it? there are things called being allies... no doubt one power in a political pact will be more dominant... pashtuns at this instance have no offical country (I exclude Afghanistan as Afghanistan now is farsi zubaan and NWFP/pakhtunkhwa is under desi influence.... only a unified Pakhtunkhwa/afghanistan is a true Pashtun state) anyway we at this instance have no power.... any allies the pashtun ppl make will be more dominant than us,... this is fact

You mustve lost your mind for thinking that.

Soviet Union was a socialist/communist state.... red=colour of the workers and the colour of the soviet flag.... Najeebullah who ruled Afghanistan was a socialist

[Dreamer]

besides if pashtu was truly a national language of Afghanistan it would be spoken by a larger proportion of ppl than it is now... as it is... all documents etc and affairs are conducted in DARI which is language of farsi zubaan...
