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!

The article posted by Admin Khan contains a lot of mis-statements. It sounds to be mostly speculative research work carried out by some google scholar. -
As far as I know , They have lost their touch with Pashto and has accepted Hindi/urdu as their language. Nasli Pashtoon are in 15000-20000 in numbers and they are concentrated in limited areas so they couldn't retain their language.Originally posted by AfghanprincessComment
