Pakistan name should be changed

[livingdead]

Rehmat Ali specifically stated how he coined the name. He is the original "copyright" holder and explained how P-A-K-S-Tan came from the five north west provinces. The "i" was added to smoothen the pronounciation. I have no idea why Indian's refuse to accept this when it is on record the Rehmat Ali came up with this name based on the prefix of the five provinces in 1933 which Sir Allama Iqbal had originally suggested as constituents of future independant state in 1930 Presidential (Allahabad) Address as shown in the link above.

And after all this you without any basis throw up wild claim of "backronym". Absurd.

i am not accepting still ... Mr Ali chose to call NWFP afgan province ... so that it fits nicely with rest..

Change it to its original name Pakstan.

Pakistani Pashtun firmly support Pakistan. This is their home. The same cannot be said for Afghan Pashtun residing in Afghanistan.

In response to Torkham issue , a social media battle has been erupted between Afghan-Pashtuns and Pakistani Pashtuns, they are calling names to countries of each other. Pakistani Pashtuns, majority of them, are saying that they are not Afghans and refuse to be called Afghans. While Pashtun nationalists of Pakistan, smaller in number, are insisting that they are Afghans and will always be Afghans.

I am asking a very simple and innocent question from all Pakistanis........if Pashtun is not Afghan then dont you think Pakistan should be renamed as "A" in Pakistan word stands for 'Afghania'.

Just think of it as 'Land of the Pure'

Classic defintion of the "village idiot". Not accepting because? Well that is how he feels. Not a shred of evidence.

His hands are as dirty as other mqm,mers but unlike others he has a beyond the ethnic line approach for Karachi which Karachi needs some regions are no go areas for certain ethnicities i support all parties who want to build bridges in Karachi (mqm is not one of them )
But that doesnot mean i dont want police to ask him tough questions and interrogate him for remaining silent on Ambulance target killing gangs and china cutting

By any chance are you dumb?

What's with this wet fetish of yours of Mixing Pashtuns on this side with them all the time?

You can. The name a state chooses to style itself is separate from the legal entity that any given nomenclature defines. All legal obligations are merely carried onto the new name. If Coca Cola decided to change their name to Soca Sola the copyright and assets they hold would continue as it would be the same company only rebranded.

Examples of change of style have been Burma to Myanmar in 1989 or Ceylon to Sri Lanka in early 1970s. The same states continued to exist like I as a biological specimen would continue to exist if I changed my name tomorrow.

I wouldn't change the name though . The name Pakistan is one of the most beautiful names one can come up with .

Afghans in this context means citizens of Afghanistan, not all of whom belong to one ethnic group.
