Split Thread from Jana Intro: Political Discussion

By the way, most of us here don't support the ANP and their pseudo, watered-down notions of nationalism that they "cash in on".

Who do you support then ?

By the way, what do you think about Ghaffar Khan? What do you think about the way he is treated in the Pakistani textbooks and media?

Frankly speaking it doesnt matter what is taught about him. And honestly speaking non of my Pashtuns have studied anything bad about him in our books.

There is some occasional reference that too very rare when it comes to events regarding partition.

What the hell is ranjit singh has to do with pakistan?

Ranjit Singh was a Punjabi hero who occupied some land in Peshawar Valley but his onward march to Afghanistan was blocked by Pashtuns at Ali Masjid (near Jamrud) where his famous general, Harri Singh Nalva was killed. So he is being frequently quoted and celeberated by Punjabis to both sides of the Redclife(Wahga) line alike as one of the foremost Punjabi heroes whose martial prowess even defeated the valient Pashtuns. They even boost he conquered Afghanistan (which is either ignorance or lie)...as a proof of the ultimate superiority of Punjos over Pashtuns.

Some Pashtun cronies of the Punjabi elite in Pakistan also mention Rajit Singh's upper hand over Pashtuns to feel elated in Pakistaniyath.
