Khattak knows the "dukti rug" and weakness of Punjab..............Any mischief from Punjab-led government and threaten them with East Pakistan episode to bring them to their senses.....
Are you not extra harsh against people of the small province?......or you are simply not familiar with Pashtuns how they talk no matter how much Pakistanists are they?........"We Pakhtuns" , thats how things roll in KPK and Pervez Khattak is addressing a Pashtun crowd and all of their provincial...
@WAJsal i assume you closed the thread......may i ask why and under which rule?

Any particular reason? ...............what warranted such harsh action against a thread with academic content, nothing else?.........
You always repeat yourself with this, and post this stuff on every thread which is about some segment of Pashtun history......kindly refrain from this behavior, and stick to the topic
Only in cities, there was some semblance of Western and Indian (Saarri dress etc) influence on the dress of Pakistani women (which you are calling 'liberal and progressive activity).............how much "liberal and progressive" was Baluchistan, Pakhtunkhwa, Interior Sindh and rural Punjab in 70s?
The learned member has given reference of Hatu Ram's "Tarikh-i-Baluchistan"..........that author, on page-172 of his book, asserts that at one time there were no traces of Brahuis and Balochs in Kalat and Mastung and the areas were abodes of Afghans. That is, medieval Afghanistan once also...
Its interesting to see that the one writing paragraph after paragraph, and is bragging about his collection of books and his knowledge, is still unable to understand the simple and clear point here that the word "Medieval Afghanistan" here doesnt refer to the kingdom founded by Ahmad Shah...
Kalhoras and Talpurs are of very later times...................the source i am quoting is talking about year 1254 AD...and populations or nations dont disappear into thin air but they can decline , and can even become extinct from an area..............Dilazaks were once as numerous as...
The upper Sindh, i.e Bhakkar, was always part of Multan province under Delhi sultanates..........and the Afghanistan , like Khurasan or Turkestan , is mentioned as a geographical term in these sources , not as independent state or kingdom (Tarikh-i-nama says that letters were sent to rulers of...
No data about demographics of Sukker/Bhakkar of that period is available , but the two sources mentions Bhakkar fort to be in Afghanistan in mid 13th century.........Mastung (nowadays non-Pashtun district in Baluchistan) is mentioned to be capital of an Afghan ruler Malik Shanshah during 1250s...
Afghanistan or Pakhtunkhwa has shrunk considerably in the direction of Sindh and Balochistan.......for example prince Dara Shikoh was betrayed by an Afghan/Pashtun chieftain of Dhadar from Panni tribe.....Dhadar is Bolan or Kachchi of Balochistan near Sindh and nowadays its population is not...
Allama Habibi remarks
"We can say that the word Afghanistan is also not a strange word which came into being in the reign of Ahmad Shah Abdali. A trustworthy proof of this is Tarikh-e Herat authored by Saifi Herawi (circa 1342) who calls the western lands, as far as the Indus, by the name of...
