Totally. A wisened political idea or two is not a bad thing. When you talk of Nationalism, can we not also speak of pragmatism? Ideally this forum should allow the expat Pashtoon to reconnect - virtually - to the richer aspects of our culture. We have a great library, a great language forum, poetry, literature, religion, a whole exchange of ideas.

Man, if you could offer Rabab lessons or knew someone who could, that would be a great strength to our community ... that to me is Pashtoon cultural revivalism. Contemporary, educated etc., but also traditional - it can be balanced. People on the outside can't mess with that.
