I love your sarcasm, you must be from Karachi. Did we need martial theory certificate from British? No. We were/are already "jungjoo" people. And our warrior characteristics has nothing to do with race and genetics, we adopted it due to our location , if our ancestors did'nt toughened themselves then they could have been annihilated by constant invaders. Unfortunately it is still our lifestyle in 21st century and it would take some time for us to settle like rest of pakistanis. Even though i support de-weaponization of pashtun in these modern times, but i wont tolerate mocking of our history (and subsequently our ancestors) by labeling it with British's martial race theory.
Here we go again.. another "insecure" pashtun..
Why is it, that when a reference is made to a false claim of superiority by a race that you guys go into defensive mode?
Ironically, such attitude's are only found occasionally near the rural areas.. I had not seen such insecurity among those Pashtuns that had been living within Peshawar for years during my time there at all.. Only time I encountered it was when there were students or lecturers from student areas who speak out against disarmament because "it was the old way". All the Urban settlers disagreed because they realized the problems guns were causing for the region.
Your being "jungjoo" gives you little "jungoo" credibility.. It is not a genetic thing. If you wish to be proud of the history I applaud it because it is commendable as resistance and resilience.. and not as "warriorism".
Its as laughable as accusing somebody of being a natural homosexual because his ancestry somehow connects to the people of sodom(who had chosen their lifestyle not because of genetic orientation but because of lust).
If a Pashtun are familiar with guns its because his father/uncles are and he has picked it up from the community.
The same can be seen in such communities in Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab etc... or even across the border..
If a Bengali kid has had a father who stems from a line of people who are regular sport hunters..then he too would be as famliar with the use of guns and the responsibility that comes with them. It has little to do with his skin color or ancestry.
As for your Karachi comment, I can see that you have that racial tendency and hence are unable to see this topic objectively in terms of social or political issues. I have little love for the leadership of MQM apart from the commercial development they oversaw(and ate from)...which the ANP has not been able to accomplish at all(not even in Peshawar..and since I was a regular visitor there please avoid comments of "what do you know about Peshawar" since I know enough).
If a party has failed to deliver /or engages in crime.. it does not mean you take your hatred of the party into racial hatred.
