Because of such false idea of grandeur and paranoia Pashtuns are suffering and are one of the most dilapidated and downtrodden nation of the world. If Alexandar wrote it , it was to portray his own achievements that he defeated such a brave people and crossed through their lands to India.

Also let us take it far granted that Pashtuns were brave but at that time the standard was different. Now for a superpower like US or European Union or China rules of the game are totally different.

Where are these brave Pashtuns who even do not have their own homeland? Even in Pakistan they are divided into 4 units, Pashtunkhwa, Balochistan, Tribal areas and Nyazis in Punjab. Karachi is the city with the most population of Pashtuns. In Afghanistan they do not have real power. Their language is no where used in the true sense to be a language of media, business and international relations.

Let us focus on our pitfalls and come out of the nostalgia and be realist to be really a great nation in the comity of nations. No doubt Pashtuns do have some great distinguishing features but these are to be used in a positive way not in a destructive ways of drugs and terrorism.

Its desi manipulations because Toramanas narrative is that the desis are telling pashtuns to continue the fight.

Pashtuns don't have a homeland? Malgara you are making us appear as if we are Palestinians.

[khushal]

^^he is not talking about pashtuns, he is talking about the pashtuns that are of his mindset.

[Kushan Prince]

And then there are Punjabis who claiming Alexander wrote this letter about them.

Lol hypocrisy at it's finest.

[Admin Khan]

I see Khushal. At times I wonder if most of the posters have actually visited the Pashtun watan.

What is the name of the homeland of Pashtuns?

If the answer is Afghanistan then Afghan according to the constitution of Afghanistan is not only Pashtun but any one living in Afghanistan who may be Tajik, Uzbek, Hazara etc. Population of Pashtuns in Afghanistan may be 50 to 60%.

If the answer is Paksitan then Pashtuns are only about 15% of the population of Pakistan and still divided in many units.

If the answer is Pashtunistan then it is just a word used in Internet forums or in some history books. Physically it does not exist anywhere.

You may not wonder at least about me as I have lived in Pashtun watan for years and years and am regularly visiting there at least once in a year.

[khushal]

If they ever do, they would realize that pashto has made a huge comeback in both afghanistan and pakistan. Badlan's version of a brave pashtuns were pashtuns like Najib and Karmel who created criminals like Dostom.

Afghanistan.

If the answer is Afghanistan then Afghan according to the constitution of Afghanistan is not only Pashtun but any one living in Afghanistan who may be Tajik, Uzbek, Hazara etc. Population of Pashtuns in Afghanistan may be 50 to 60%.

Using predicate logic, quantitative logic, boolean algebra, you name it and I can prove that you what you just said above is incredibly illogical. Just because Afghanistan is not 99.9999999999999999999999 percent Pashtun does NOT negate the fact that Afghanistan explicitly means the land of the Pashtuns, and that even that very language Pashto in which you converse in daily is known as Afghani according to many dictionaries. These are hard concrete facts. Afghanistan is about ~65 percent Pashtun according to WAK foundation. Today, the world is becoming dynamic, it's no longer static. We do not live in a world(except South Korea)where 99.9 percent is of the same ethnic group.

If the answer is Paksitan then Pashtuns are only about 15% of the population of Pakistan and still divided in many units.

Pakistan to Pashtuns is what Italy is for Pashtuns, both are foreign countries.

If the answer is Pashtunistan then it is just a word used in Internet forums or in some history books. Physically it does not exist anywhere.

The answer is the Pashtun homeland, from Kandahar to Peshawar, from Kabul to Mingora.

Lol where are you getting your satistics from? Im pretty sure the population of pashtuns is much higher than 60% in afghanistan.
