Leading up to partition and subsequently, they officially became Pakistanis.....kind of like your tribals and other people throughout your country officially became indian
That is the operative word. That doesn't change history.
They became Pakistanis yes, no one is denying that.
They are also Afghans (ethnically). I am not calling them Afghanistanis!
Not sure what you want to argue here.
it's interesting because when he was doing his little stand up show for Afridi, Gul and gang he told the audience that his father was from Peshawar Pakistan.
Regardless, I wont delve into it much because he isnt a Pakistani citizen nor does he really represent Pakhtun Pakistanis....the guy doesnt even speak Pashto for God's sakes.
his own prerogative....he was keen to visit Pakistan but as usual those underfed malnourished hindutva activists managed to scare him into not visiting our great country. Again, not my problem or concern.
You seem confused here. You brought him into the discussion and now are trying to dismiss him.
Yes, some of us don't want our celebrities to have anything to do with Paksitan. Nothing wrong, our prerogative.
BTW, funny to see the talk of backwardness coming from primitive tribals. Those who think that Polio drops are a Jewish conspiracy.
The tribals would have some of the worst social indicators in the world.
factually incorrect; some do have some distant Arab lineage but there are dozens --perhaps hundreds of different tribes and sub-tribes. However they all speak the same language and share the same customs and honour codes. And like myself and some of the other members on this forum from those areas, we are fiercely proud Pakistani peoples.
Do all of them have different lineage! I assume they share a common lineage, if not show us the proof.
damn proud of that fact; not gonna lie
but South Asia is a huge and loosely worded term. I think that initially yes there was some culture shocks or lack of exposures but due to trade, jobs, entertainment and other factors there is a strong sense of nationhood and in fact Pakhtun or Baloch or Kashmiri or Punjabi and Sindhi have many bonds together that cannot be broken. Of course majority being Muslim it's another aspect that ties us all together and in Islam ethnicity or tribe are not important.
OK.
Trying to convince me or yourself.
Tell it to someone who doesn't know what is happening in Karachi and elsewhere in Pakistan for decades. Who has not seen those Pushtun videos talking ever so lovingly about Pakistan.
I am sure you don't want me to post all that here.
good -- so spend more time focusing on those and less time yapping away needlessly on Pakistan Defence Forum
I spend much more time with them. In real life, they are all around me in my city.
You are not the owner of this forum, so take it easy. Don't try and behave like one.
