lol mate, that has made it even worse, so Pathan is an anglo-saxon name. After reading that i further hate being called a Pathan.
Legacy of British colonization. Actually Pathan is a holdover from them, this is why Indians use it.
We Pakistanis should discourage it in Pakistan. I mean, when we renamed NWFP (long overdue,) we called it Khyber Pukhtoonkhwa, not Pathankhwa.
My own Pukhtoon relatives get irritated when they hear it and insist on Pashtoon or Pukhtoon.
It is kind of like how Urdu Speakers hate being called Muhajir, or Punjabis hate Panjab (which is more like how Sikhs spell it.)
