Sher Malang the head of that forum is a snake. I was depanting you and your fellow Afghans but it seems your worst fear is a person like me who challenges your narrative. That forum maintains its superiority by locking members out of their accounts. Admin then makes this pathetic speech about SQL and stuff. Anyone who challenges the terrorist Afghans (80% of the people there) and their backers (20% of the people) is locked out of his own account with the use of admin account control tools, the password is changed and the account is taken over-the e-mail to change passwords is also changed (coincidence)... though he makes sure he doesn't ban anyone to make it seem like he supports freedom of speech. There were two other members who were patriotic Pakistanis and suffered the same fate.
Also how are there more Afghans on that site than lar Pashtuns? We make up 80% of the total Pashtun population... looks like some foul play involved back there.
For "revenge" i generalized it as an overall tradition,as Andro was painting it as Pushtoon fighting pushtoon..I counter argued that its a revenge.
About losing identity to Afghans I used the word "Tribal Pushtoons" as in the FATA....
I did not generalize....
Hope its clear now.
I am sorry... but I am a little edgy when people look down upon Pashtuns. Since I was growing up in Karachi I have seen this intrinsic bias against the Pashtuns, one guy in our office, nice smiling guy always saying we are one, we are Pakistani constantly abused because he is a Pashtun. They are more patriotic than anyone else, they love their country, they are emotional and very quick to smile. But never in my life from the mouth of a person from our khandaan would I happen to hear something good about them. This is what thinking too highly of ethnicity does in the end... it makes us bigots. I realized being a Pakistani is about loving all the ethnic groups, all the races and all religions in Pakistan... if I can't respect them then how can I be a Pakistani Nationalist?
I am largely disengaged from race or ethnicity. It does not really matter to me. In the end I am adopting Pashtun culture and will soon master the language but I don't want this to make me too engaged or too affected by everything that I can't accept differing opinions and start shouting the moment I hear . The reason I am affected by these kind of comments and tend to defend Pashtuns is that because people have a negative impression of Pashtuns and they give this vibe that these innocent people are somehow responsible or to blame for everything that goes wrong. This is a very wrong attitude. FATA has been under the British FCR for 60+ years for no explainable reason, it has only a total of 30 or so colleges man and the one in Jamrud-the best of all was blown up by militants. How we can be so callous not to feel sorry for our own countrymen just because militants came to that area?
Safriz, i think its very necessary not to have negative views about any race because it makes people like Luffy. I explained why tribal Pashtuns should not be blamed for things earlier in some posts. Also much the opposite to what you described is actually happening. The Pashtun traditional dress is actually the ganr khat. Go to any big Pashtun city and girls are wearing shalwar kameez. Its the same with educated people in tribal areas too. So basically Pashtuns are accepting other peoples culture though no one should have to give up culture. Of 40 million Pashtuns 30 million know Pashto... others have learned urdu, punjabi or seraiki.
Personally these things are a great part of our culture that should be preserved. It isn't Pashtun culture itself that is the enemy. The enemy, meray dost is basically our ethnic, our religious divisions. We end our religious and ethnic divisions we may have solved a great deal of our problems. And especially do not let one bigot let you develop your view on the whole race/
Basically people like Luffy get in queues when someone is offering him a job with dust smeared on their faces and their khat partogh's/shalwar kameez dirty as hell... it doesn't matter if job is from Blackwater, RAW or KHAD. He just needs a job very badly, probably to feed his family and people like Admin Khan (who are agents) who are always prowling the these areas for impressionable young men can hire him for a few bucks... you should read the article about the taliban where they are paying $170 to militants. Luffy is a militant... but an ideological one for Afghanistan. His game has been exposed here totally. He didn't say a single word for the 2 lions of Landi Kotal the Afghans killed the other day but he does the "I am a representative of lar Pashtuns" thing very often. He would have defended these lar Pashtuns and criticized the land of Farsiwan's and Dari speaking children like Sher Malang. Even Sher Malang called lar Pashtuns terrorists in his last few posts saying the two were terrorists and stuff like that.
It's basically that Luffy doesn't care about lar (Pakistani) Pashtuns at all. He has sold himself to Afghanistan and will do anything for them as long as they keep paying him... unfortunately Afghanistan instead of spending the billions of dollars in aid to feed its citizens is now siphoning all this money to create division in Pashtunkhwa not realizing they are destabilizing own Pashtuns.
Look, lets imagine Luffy and Sher Malang are young 6-7 years boys without a partogh/shalwar to cover their *** and a kameez to drape their body... one being shoved from one street corner of Lakki Marwat to another for his troublesome attitude and the other forced to clean the shoes of Tajiks Uzbek and Hazara passerby's who at times give him a kick on the head instead of Pakistani rupees (which still run in Afghanistan btw)... if someone pays them money they will obviously start banging their chest and start all this loy pashtunistan rubbish. You get how easy it is to buy him?
So basically anyone can give wrong impression of Pashtuns... also there are bar Pashtuns... who aren't real Pashtuns but Tajikized Farsiwans being told from birth that they are superior to Indics (according to them that term includes Pakistanis of other ethnic groups) and also lar Pashtuns. They are just jokers because one look at history will prove all their history comes from Pakistan and Pakistani Pashtuns.
Luffy knows nothing about Pashtuns man. My friend is an Orakzai girl in Canada from a very accomplished family. She hates Afghans and start swearing every time some Afghan starts his lar aw bar rubbish. FATA people hate Afghans. Afghans have infiltrated FATA and have these huge forts larger than ones Wazirs and Maseeds have and start shooting at even passerbys. No one can get too close. They are doling out huge bribes to TTP and still living in Maseed areas. Local people hate them. I know because of research for my book Badal.
You have never been to tribal areas, not even studied them and you are making comments? Ignore Luffy and Sher Malang and dozens of internet Afghans (nation) you meet on the internet. They lack a brain to analyze and the moment someone will criticize Afghanistan they will start crying "traitor to Pashtun", "traitor to Pashtun"... they are not true representative of Pashtuns. How you can judge pakistani pashtun because of a weak and insecure (unworthy and Farsi speaking) Pashtun from Afghanistan?
