It was the same more or less what our Afghan brothers and sisters went through during the Afghan Fasad in 80's.
It would be a good idea, If you could share a hands-on experience with us on what you have witnessed.
Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
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!

We Peshoris love Qahwa. Peshawari Qahwa is one of the most popular item of hospitality item in Peshawar city. It has a lot of advanatges. First is it is an appetiser. Secondly it acts as a fast catalyst of digesting heavy food like Mutton Tilkka which is eaten in the "Namak Mandi" and people from even abroad come there to enjoy it. Thirdly it is good for heart as it melts the fats.
It has a traditional cultural element in it when it used to be served since hundreds of years in the historic Qissa Khani bazar [famous for the traditional products of Peshawar as mentioned in the hindko lyric " Qissa Khani day wich kar ajab rail hondi ye" meaning there is a lot of cultural activities in the Qissa Khani] when Peshawar used to be the hub of central asian trade and the Khyber pass was the trade route to the central asian republics specially in the Afghan empire when Peshawar was the winter capital.
Peshawar being the oldest existing city in Asia from an archeaological point of view ,has been mentioned in a full episide in the BBC series " The story of India".
So yes I love Qahwa and I would like to make it myself for our brothers and sisters here in PF.
I think you dint get the meaning of the verse. The verse says that Yousafzais have been historically known to show their Pakhtunwali both in the battle field [termed as turra in the verse] as well as in the hospitality over the dastar "khwan".
It was then generalised for the Pakhtuns that Pakhtuns show their bravery either in the battle field [whether it is war of nations or the war of ideas ,as applicable in the modern age] or their generosity at the sheet [dastar khwan] of food served as part of hospitality for the guests.
ONE of the original homes of Yusufzais is Kandahar, as you say in your last statement? Or that's their ORIGINAL home, as you say in your first statement, Shlombay? Which one must it be?
