Pashtun / Pashtunistan flags?

[Shehbaz Khan]

And as far as the term 'Brainwashed' is concerned. I find that you can apply it to anyone not coming from your school of thought and dis-agrees with you.

[torkham]

if you can tell the difference between right and wrong then don't expect me to follow rules that you enforce for which you consider yourself too good.
If you don't know the difference between right and wrong, don't preach me on the principles of it.
I don't care who is watching.

If we are talking about emblems then the afghan eagle takes the cake...

[Prince_Pukhtun]

There was a time i heard that the pathan always said i am pathan (or pashtun or afghan) first and then i am pakistani. What happened to that pathan?

Note: i use the word pathan to identify pashtun pakistan. I am aware what KKK said about afghan and pashtun being one.

nothing has happened to that pakhtun, he is me

Khorosan is the persian word for Afghanistan.

Afghanistan is the Persian word for Pashtunkhwa. Khorasan is not synonymous with Afghanistan.

[jama0112]

Isn't Khorosan west of Afghanistan(persian stronghold) and east is Afghanistan(pahstun stronghold)?

Well, that's at least what i have heard.

Something like that.

Exactly, the word Khorasan means "Where the sun rises"

[jama0112]

Is Kandahar supposed to be that close to Kabul?

[salman47]

Exactly, the word Khorasan means "Where the sun rises"

Shouldnt Horasan be the original pronunciation? In Zand, Hor is 'sun', so in Pashto it came to mean 'fire'..

Oh nice, I never made that connection before ....you might be right, I'm actually inclined to agree.

[Sarbani]

What's Zand?

[Sarbani]

It’s born synonymous as the names don’t have the same meaning however it is in the sense that the area now called Afghanistan was referred to as Khorasan.

The Pashtun and Baloch areas of Afghanistan were never referred to as 'Khorasan' as far as I know.

[Qami]

What's Zand?

Language of the Avesta.

I thought in AVestanthey say Khwar or so. In older Russian it Was Khors, meaning Sun.

In Armenian Hur means fire
