freights??? really, I guess if nobody stops you you would claim that all pakistani airlines are also controlled by pashtuns.You've got to be kidding me ! They dominate the Transport Business...dominate which means all the freights...everything is dominated by the Pukhtoons ! And calling it a low status business is as ludicrous as saying that the Punjabis servicing the Agricultural Output of Pakistan don't have that 'high a status' !
Of course, you don't know and there is no way to found out this information, isn't so?The rest of your post is something I can't answer because I don't know about the 50 richest families of Pakistan !
But I can tell you this, in terms of Human Development Index (which is a measure of most of what you stated !) - the HDI of much of the Pukhtoon belt is comparable to the HDI in Punjab & Sindh with the Hazara Region enjoying the HDI comparable to the Highest HDI in Pakistan baring Islamabad !
I can also tell you this that Afghanistan's HDI for 2012 stood at 0.374 which is higher than a single district in Pakistan (Tharparkar at 0.314) whilst the second lowest HDI in Pakistan at 0.422 for Musa Khel, Baluchistan which is still quite a bit higher than your country's average ! So at any rate, despite the sh*tty situation that we've been due to having a neighbor like Afghanistan - We're still far...far ahead of you & so are the Pukhtoons of Pakistan !
We have been at war for 35 years so compare the HDI of pashtuns of Pakistan with us doesn't make any sense. What you should do is to compare their HDI rate with other ethnicities to know about the real condition of pashtuns in Pakistan.
