Well, since it was your great grandfather, you're only partly Pashtun. Nonetheless, you have warrior blood in you mate!

Yup, if that great grandfather is from your father's side of the family, you're Pashtun. but you would have to speak Pashto etc.

Only if others, and us, can identify you as a Pashtun. Pashtun means Pashto speaker and Pashto doer , you dont speak it. You dont have traditions, ways of life, dress etc of Pashtuns. Beside, i have read that those cameleer were not just Pashtuns but also Balochs, Punjabis, Sindhis and Indians. Also, those Muslim cameleer of 19th, didnt bring their wives so they intermarried with negroid aborigines. You will more or less look like an Aborigine, so people might mistake you for a Mekrani or ethopian not Pashtun.

The only which will still be clinging to you, i suppose should be religion of Islam. The question is, are you a Muslim?

This sounds like a troll bait. No, you can't identify as Pashtun.
