Maybe you should pay Afghanistan a visit and see where all the Pashtuns are.
In the southern Pashtun belt, many villages are abandoned in the past 30 years of war.
There are very few Pashtuns left in Afghanistan.
So if Pashtuns want Afghanistan to be the land of Pashtuns, they need to come back home.
And I am not influenced by Tajik media. Pashtun identity is something that should only be part of who we are. It should not become the image of non-Pashtuns.
If we impose our image on others by naming the country Pashtun, while the Pashtuns who have ruled the country for 200 years couldn't even speak Pashto we are giving the wrong message to non-Pashtuns.
Their opposition to Pashtunification of Afghanistan is due to Pashtuns ambiguity. On the one hand, we are governed by a Persianized Pashtun elite and Persian upper class. On the other hand we want to make the country into a Pashtun country while most Pashtuns live abroad.
And Khurasan existed before Tajiks and Hazara's emerged. Khurasan is known for more than 1 thousand years.
And if you want non-Pashtuns to move else where, why shouldn't we, the Pashtuns move to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa? Because Pashtuns in Afghanistan are treated like dirt.
