not unfair at all. Uighurs are part of the Chinese nation. I haven't heard of Chinese Christians or Jews being told they can't observe Sabbath or religious duties. the only curtailment of free practice of religion nowadays occurs in the western provinces. It was similar in their eastern...

you mean to say such thinking has popular support in Iran, he can rally up significant votes of muslims based on that past? I always thought most Iranians are conservative muslims that don't look too kindly on bringing up of ancient past too often. you guys practice nowrooz and all the subtle...

video is so last week. and of course it is deplorable but they can only get away with it by capitalizing on some genuine grievances. i've always maintained that China needs to look after its Uighur populations' sensitivities better. from the communist perspective, materialism and economic...

I heard this guy is Ahmadinejad's right hand man, and very much into cultural nationalism, trying to emphasise Iran's pre-Islamic past. his child also married to president's kid. does he have serious chance of winning or will your Ayatollah not allow it given his 'deviant' stance? some Iranian...

hard to find precise estimates. but considering that TTP has strong links with Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, you can assume they share a lot of fighters other than those who independently join for other purposes. the operation in tirah valley had nearly 3,000 "foreign fighters... Uzbeks...

The journalist kept asking such divisive and stupid questions, yet both girls remained bravely steadfast in explaining their friendship and unity. sad state of affairs when children are more mature and forward-thinking than an adult, dawn journalist no less, who reeks of an apartheid mentality...

crocodile tears coming from the likes of you. and just now you were calling Pak Nationalist a traitor to his tribe because he didn`t raise his voice against Pak fauj for the `killings, social injustice`, blah blah. when your argument fails, you then say his tribe is traitor to Pakistan as an...

also, luffy you're a marwat if I'm not mistaken. yet you keep harping on about 'racial purity' of pashtuns, saying that this and that tribe are 'desified', punjabified, etc as if having a fusion of cultures is a bad thing. but its laughable because you're from DI Khan.

I've read this article before. almost 10 years old and written by a CIA chief, not exactly comparable to a historian or anthropological geneticist. in no way undermining their history ano domine, but you need to come to terms with the fact that pashtuns were an easterly branch of the ancient...

The famous Water Palace in Deeg in the northern state of Rajasthan, 1884. A portrait of Maharaja Kishen Pershad, a prime minister of Hyderabad state. The entrance to a famous fort in the northern Indian city of Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh state, taken in 1878. Deen Dayal's picture of...

The opulent drawing room of the Bashir Bagh palace in Hyderabad, 1888. Many of Deen Dayal's pictures are on view now in an exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. The back of a cabinet card photograph taken by Deen Dayal in his studio in the Indian city of Indore, January 1894...

Raja Deen Dayal (1844-1905) was a legendary Indian photographer. In 1894, he was appointed court photographer to the royal family of Hyderabad. In this picture taken in 1899, the King of Hyderabad Nizam Mahbub Ali Khan and his party pose with tiger skins. Over the course of his...

Kashmir will always be there, and the injustices they've suffered from all sides will not go away just like that. not sure why you people don't understand. all they want is genuine political autonomy, free from interference to live by their own will. whether that arrangement is in Pakistan...

do you know from an anthropological, historical perspective, it is very questionable whether pashtuns had yet migrated to areas east of kabul around the time of alexander's invasion? the people he fought 'here', meaning this side of khyber pass, were actually the indigenous dards, hunzas...

mullah omar disapproved of the hostage taking for ransoms in waziristan not too long ago. perhaps he is losing control over the lower cadres. but then again, such a move would probably have some nod from higher up given how decentralized it is, mullah omar probably has little to do with ground...

It doesn't work like that. otherwise the whole world will end up demanding their stolen stuff back, and then what will happen to swollen pride and greedy museums of Europe? countries of subcontinent will have to 'demand' that Britain return Kohinoor and Iran to return Darya e Noor and Noor ul...

^ you know very well that TTP mercenary gangs have nothing to do with Afghan Taliban, yet you keep peddling this bullsh*t on other threads as well trying to equate the two. we'll see whose side the tribes end up on after next year, once these hired goons and their masters in Afghanistan are...
