That is incorrect, despite the Mullah propaganda, Pashtun nationalism is not communistic in nature.
No one can deny Pashtun nationalism. Someone must be crazy to do so.
However it is EXTREMELY important for Afghanistani posters like yourself to concentrate on Afghanistan-first approach.
Why?
The horrible horrible history of the last 4 decades means, Afghanistan-first policies and discussion are the only way to get out of the mess.
this is not too different from a scenario of a man recovering from long term illness.
For him, the most important thing is to start cleaning his OWN home, find a job, start exercising etc. etc.
And if a neighbor comes and misbehaves, he should say, "I forgive you", I just got out of sick-bed, and I don't need to start a fight and go back again to the sickbed.
When Afghanistanis come on a Pakistani forum and talk about Pashtun nationalism, they gain nothing and leave a lot of sour feeling for all the Pakistanis.
If the same Afghanistanis go on a Afghanistani forum and talk about Pashtun nationalism, they gain nothing and leave a lot of sour feeling for all those non-Pashtun Afghanistanis.
Thus for an Afghanistani-pashtun, it is a lose lose situation to just blabber mouth about Pashtun-nationalism.
Pashtun-nationalism means doodoo if an Afghanistani cannot offer money or food, education or health to an Pashutn on Pakistani side.
Why?
Afghanistani Pashtuns are in no position to offer anything constructive at this point.
Hopefully soon.
but not at this time.
And if on the other hand, Afghanistani-Pashtuns are asking or begging for some food, or money, asking for other "constructive" contribution from Pakistani-Pashtuns, then be nice.
And ask nicely.
Otherwise this empty sloganeering will only attract smugglers and Talib-b@stards and you will end up hurting Pashutns on both sides of the border.
I hope you understand.
thank you.
