bro @Farhaan_9909, The Pathans are very honourable people. It was for this reason that they found allies amongst Rajputs of India. I am happy to know that they are now realising their rich heritage and if you may recall, During partition of India, The pathans from frontier agencies had refused to vote. They had wanted to be with India and not with Pakistan. The voting in those frontier areas was less than 20% and the ones who voted were Punjabies. The fate of Pathans in undivided India was decided by Punjabies and not Pathans.
I know.but the people had changed.ANP could not win anything this time.last time they were given a chance
Ok this is how it happened.
your aware of Pashtun-punjabi rivalry..very old.
So When british was about to invade Afghanistan..the Afghan elite made some deal with them.they gave off the nwfp/fata to British under British India.Just to save off there ass from british invasion.they sold there own land and people to british.FATA and NWFP had karlan pashtun(wazir,mahsud,afridi,orakzai,banusi etc).they remembered this and even with the partition they wanted to remain with india,even they had option for joining with afghanistan.but they didnt.because we were betrayed by them..
Now today look at afghan pashtun and than KPK pashtun.they are in misery since past many decades.while the tension in kpk/fata is only 1 decade older.we hold them as refugees.over the period majority of the pashtun opted for KPK and balochistan(than godar)..now today as per latest studies more than 35million pashtun are in pakistan while less than 10millions in afghanistan.
In Pakistan pashtun represent the most of Pak army considering the %age ratio.
In Pakistan 65 time line
Ghulam ishaq Khan was from bannu and president of Pakistan for 6 years(he was from bannu and from the banusi tribe which my mother belongs to)
Ayub Khan was a pashtun for close to a decade.
alone both of them accounts for 1/4th of pakistan timeline presidents of Pakistan
NOTE:Before the previous govt in PAkistan president had more power than PM.only in the past govt the changed the rights
though i agree 100% with your post
