i am going to make at least 10 pashtun babies after i read nick's post lol.
now but seriously if thats true, which i doubt, then there are way to low pashtuns. i think every pashtun should have at least 7 kids lol

LOL sure but on account we do have sometimes 2 wifes and on average of 9 children this was noted above but brother this is not about making bebies, but if you believe Pakistan has 30 million Pashtuns in according to calculation as a debate I had long time ago with BLS up on arriving here I said if its true in what he or ISI claims then even if each Pashtun of Pakistan had 30 bebies or per family and continues for 3 generation starting 1893 then it would still be less by 2 or 3 million.

Do your own research and figure the population of balochistan which was created when taken from Afghans this nation lasted for some years until Durand Line and end of great game upon creating NWFP a puffer as well as Afghanistan partly controlled by British.
As I mentioned about compare the 1 million Balochistan as well as the 7 million Iran and 4.5 million Afghanistan you will get one digit and Pashtun population under British Raj, remember British Raj collected large number of data from their tribal trees to population, number of animals, land and ownership etc. In 1898 total pashtun population of Paskistan was 1.5 million. This is a fact and if you can prove me wrong than it will be your blessing on me cause that way I as well as others can be educated. Otherwise don't fall into Punjabi BS of saying Pashtuns are 30 million lol to claim pashtuns are beghyrat and Kam-gens ie --> are pro-Pakistanis lol at the same time these pro-Pakisatanis want to bomb the poor Pashtuns people from villiage to towns.

Nick it was a strong post and it make sense but you have to taken into account the fact that many KP regions are fertile and densely populated while afghanistan is just like balochistan, both cant support large populations.

I don't get it brother what does population increase which is natural has to do with land fertility lol its woman that matters in this case lol ok enough joke.

Brother KP region is not different than rest of Afghanistan no disrespect I know you have been there, lived there or seen it etc, so are many of us but where some o us have seen Afghanistan as well as pakistan. Even without google map or actual survey we know what ground looks like and what is happening out there.

Mark my words but what do you mean by fertile? Fare to say afghanistan is a mountainous nation I would say same as to KP. And what do u mean Afghanistan can't support large population? Food wise? Brother Afghanistan has 14% (10 million hectares) arable land and in the past historically we only use less than 45% or 4.5 million Hectares of whole arable land so food wise sure we have enough land to cultivate. Compare that with pakistan only some 29% arable land yet with population of 6 times higher than Afghanistan. Historically pakistan used 80% (proposal by 2015 is to use 90 %) of their 21 million hectares and yet still so far enough food as well as export to Afghanistan and central asia, and even to japan and other countries. Now please brother be realistic and that Afghanistan can't support itself because its dry. Brother its not dry like Balochistan lol its just politics like Karzai and CIA paid family and gangster who made deal that most food be imported from pakistan. Sure I know since 2001 Pakistan has been short of food 3 times so far 2004, 2006 and 2008 by which they had to buy some of their food from outside because they shipped too much into Afghanistan where Afghan farmers were crying because in those years there was no profit in local market.

So again brother food wise as well as its beautiful land, as well as fresh water if we control flowings into central asia then we have lots of fresh water as well. Just because Afghanistan is mountainous doesn't mean they can't support life lol not like moon, beside KP is more mountainous as well has some dry land like that dry lands of Kandahar. Because you want to want to prove yourself that some total 21 million people in KP and another some 4 million in FATA a former Afghan land now 25 million close to whole population of Afghanistan are there because its fertile? Brother we already discussed and calculated that Afghanistan's population should be close to 47 something million if same trend had continued because while Afghanistan was some 4.5 million KP/FATA combined was 2 million brother I know 25 million comparable to 47 million is 50% but consider the millions unregistered Afghan immigrant, otherwise KP/NWFP would still be 1/3 population of whole Afghanistan's imaginary population.
BTW do you know KP also gets their food from punjab? Its land is not as arable, but rather its punjab and sindh feed by hindus river that makes up most of "arable" land sure not NWFP or balochistan.

World wide I think Pashtu speakers are around 35-40 million. I cannot go above this number due to historical records recorded in late 19th century, however if you are talking about Pathani claims or descents of Afghans in India alone there are 35-40 million in India alone, 5 million in Bangladesh another 15 million "Pathans" claims in Punjab of Pakistan, and Sindh if we exclude the 2.5 million pashtu speakers of Karachi with those "Pathan" claims all over Sindh, there could be 3 million. Therefore if we exclude the PAshtu speakers in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan alone could mount to 65 million Pathan claims of non-pashtu speakers. Another 5-8 million Afghan claim can be added from Iran, and another 1 million in whole of Central Asia. In Middle east there is at least 10 million, and another 1 million pathan/afghan claim in Nepal, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australasia etc. In Europe/west there is another 5 million. so World wide non-pashtu Afghan claim could be 100 million and if we add the 40 million together Afghan race could be 140 million world wide. However to me true Afghan race with less or no external fusion of other cultures total Afghan race alive is 70 million world wide, because many in people in Pakistan/India are either too Indics and some are hiding their hindu background and sometime adapted Pathan identity simply due to adapting Afghan dress, life style, belief etc. As well as in east asia, the Afghna/Pathans claims are mixed such as Nepalis, Indonesians, 20th century Australians Afghans etc.

My family lived in punjab for a while now, I know for a fact I don't have indic blood in me.
