thanks for the balanced view dear sister, i can see alot of hostility against non pashtoons in this forum, although i am not a person who care about ethnicities, but if people bash us based on the idea that we belong to a non pashtoon group then it will be difficult for me to stay silent. how many people in here have studied our history and see how much non pashtoons have suffered from the injustices of pashtoon rulers(nothing to do with common pashtoon man) in the past especially last 10-12 decades? has anybody even bothered to know why pashtoons ended up in the north while that is not their tradtional territory? land grab and injustice was the official policy against teh non pashtoons. hope people speak with respect and have a balanced view towards these sensitive issues, otherwise there are things pakistan as well that i can speak and even be disrrespectful, but i bet you havesnt seen anything like that from. i have always keep the dignity of my mouth and respected pakistan and its people.
After debating with Afghan Pashtuns i have came to know the reality that those intellectuals (a bunch of them not ordinary Afghan Pashtuns), they even have this hostility towards us (Pakistani Pukhtuns). They think Afghanistan belongs to Afghans and Afghans are only Pashtuns. My question to them had been if so then you mean you are negating Hazaras, Tajiks, Uzbeks and other ethnic groups in Afghanistan. Does it mean you are not considering them part of Afghanistan. If they are part of Afghanistan then my advice is that this word Afghan should be replaced with "Afghanistani" for using for all natives of Afghanistan.
I wonder if there is peace and elections and if Northern part wins the majority will their govt be accepted with open heart and minds (in case there is no outsider involved )???
I dont think so. So the issue is due to their own biases not due to outsiders much
