And you are surprised? I think afridis are the one who abolished the custom of receiving money from the groom's side in plain areas. This custom prevalent in many areas of FATA and also in some parts of settle areas of Pakhtoons. In one Agency its caped with 3 hundred thousands. If it paid more than this value, the house of both parties would be burnt. It's in contrast to what is practiced in india where the bride has to pay for jewelery, furniture and food etc. It seems that this affair too play under the law of demand and supply. The same tribes who have moved and are living in plains and cities have given up to this custom and it rotates many degrees in disadvantage to bride side.
As for making money, well it’s the birth right of every single human through fair means. It requires brain, hard work. Sometime it does not require to strive or slave hard even . ..only better tricks accumulate you wealth in abundance.
Many of renowned mega structures built in Peshawar including Deans trade center, Khyber medical centre, Gul haji Plaza etc belong to Afridi tribe. Plus the famous Bara market where tens of thousands jobs generated due to exporting of imported stuff to Punjab, in order to serve punjabies with up to date and sophisticated tech ever available to consumers at competitative prices, mainly belong to this tribe. schimilary they own the weapon industry which play an important role in our national security. Its keeping enemies at bay on east and west when they see 180 million population armed to teeth. It make them hundred time think before implementing any nasty plan of aggression against our beloved country.
