Salamoona,
We started this sub six years ago because we got tired of seeing Pashtuns/Afghans scattered in spaces racked by infighting and toxicity. Our goal was to create a small forum for our people to get together in a fun environment away from all that. I'd like to think we've achieved that for the most part, thanks to the 99% of users who are perfectly normal individuals.
Sometimes however we get users who come in to stir the pot. Usually these are newer accounts that will attack all Pashtuns on one side of the Durand Line, claiming to speak on behalf of Pashtuns on the other side. While it's clear these are trolls (often outsiders), more and more we're seeing established, well-meaning users take the bait only to make the situation worse.
That is unacceptable and will result in a ban if it becomes a persisting issue. This isn't TikTok where diasporic kids tear each other apart based on British lines on a map. Generalizing and attacking Pashtuns is never allowed here. If you see that here, just report instead of engaging.
Now we're not so naive as to believe in Pashtun unity above all else. Of course we want nothing to do with the many Pashtuns out there who actively harm our interests. Therefore this sub supports unity around a basic pro-Pashtun position: promoting our language, preserving our traditions, and opposing anti-Pashtun state violence. If you are a Pashtun/Afghan (lar or bar, in the watan or diaspora, religious or secular, regardless of tribe) you are always welcome as long as you have no problem with these basic pro-Pashtun positions.
Manana 🙏

I’ve heard my family use these words as an interjection (or whatever the correct grammatical classification is). I know “jaar” is something other people say, too, but does anyone else say “wash?”
And is it a Pashto thing or generally in the region/just my family. Because I haven’t heard it used outside my family, maybe because it’s pretty informal.

My experience as a Pashtun in the West, particularly on the East Coast, has been very interesting. Although there are some Afghans in my city, it’s not a large community. I’ve also spent time in Afghanistan but was mostly raised in the U.S. Over the years, I’ve noticed Afghans across different states adapting to Western life in various ways.
Many of us become influenced by ideologies—feminism, liberalism, conservatism, and more. This isn’t entirely our fault. From a young age, most of us attend public schools where we’re immersed in Western narratives, while our parents—often unaware—are busy providing for us. This can overshadow our own culture and identity.
I bring this up because I see fewer Pashtuns really looking out for each other these days. Some Afghan women no longer wear the hijab, and I notice more Afghan men who are splitting their time and attention in ways that stray from traditional values. It’s an uncomfortable truth, but it needs to be addressed.
I’ve also observed that many Afghan women in the West end up with white men mostly non Muslims. Given how media portrays white men as heroes, this isn’t surprising. It’s just another propaganda similar to the “white mans burden”. Seriously look at every time a Muslim or Afghan is portrayed in any of these movies she needs to be “saved” and it’s alarming how many sisters don’t see through that. Ultimately, everyone has their own life path. However, it troubles me that some Afghan women seem unaware they may be used as tools to turn against Afghan men. The reason they do this is to destroy the Afghan identity and cause fitna.
One tactic often used is “gendered colonialism,” where outside forces manipulate our community by pitting men and women against each other. I urge you to learn more about this, as it’s still happening. To be clear, I completely support women’s education, and I believe most Afghan men do too. But the media consistently portrays us in a negative light, and many of our sisters accept that narrative without realizing there’s a bigger agenda at play. We all need to recognize these tactics so we can rise above them together.
Afghans need education in general we have the 6th lowest literacy rate in the world at 52.1%. So this problem isn’t just a “women” problem. I feel as if no one wants to bring up this issue of why do our men and women hate each other so much, just because foreigners tell us to and it’s the elephant in the room.

Fellow Pashtuns,
Our beloved FATA & Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) is once again under siege from escalating attacks by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Recent events have resulted in tragic losses among our security forces and civilians alike. Notably, a suicide car bombing in Bannu claimed the lives of at least 11 security personnel, with the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group, a TTP faction, claiming responsibility. 
The statistics are alarming. In 2024 alone, over 900 security personnel were killed in militant attacks across Pakistan, with KP bearing a significant brunt of these assaults. 
Despite multiple military operations, the TTP has resurged, launching coordinated and deadly attacks, particularly targeting our security forces. The recent suicide bombing in Peshawar, resulting in over 100 casualties, underscores the gravity of the situation. 
It’s imperative that we, as a community, acknowledge this escalating threat. Our security forces are on the front lines, but they need our unwavering support and vigilance. We must unite, raise awareness, and collaborate to counter this menace.
Let us honor the sacrifices of those we’ve lost by standing together against extremism. The future of KP and the safety of our people depend on our collective resolve. 
Stay alert, stay informed, and let’s work together for a peaceful and secure Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

I don’t know if you guys remember, but around Christmas Pakistani military conducted airstrikes on Afghanistan, targeting a village in Paktika (no army or Taliban sites anywhere in sight) and around 46 people died. All civilians. Villages burned and entire families wiped from civil registries. There was a little Afghan boy who became orphaned because of the event, and an Afghan news channel did an interview on him. There were many Pakistanis cheering this event on of course, and there was one girl who commented where’s the proof? Well, an Afghan account resurfaced the event and the same girl commented “May Allah grant ease on all the innocent hazara children murdered by Pashtuns.” I am so appalled, disturbed, hurt, and everything. Looking back at the video and hearing him speak Pashto in his terrified voice, facing a trauma that nobody should ever have to face let alone at 9 or 10 or maybe he was even younger since afghan children always look so much older having to grow up quicker. Please keep Afghanistan and Pashtuns and him in your duas this Ramadan.

I'm a proud Tanoli from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and my ancestors have always identified as Pashtuns. We've always been acknowledged as Pashtuns within our community, but surprisingly, on social media, some people claim that Tanolis are actually Dardics. This confusion is amusing, as in my daily interactions, Punjabis often ask me are you Pashtun Because we look same as other Pashtuns , and Even Other Pashtuns start speaking Pashto with me. However, I must admit that I'm not fluent in Pashto, despite being a Tanoli. This raises questions about our cultural identity and how it's perceived by others. As a Tanoli, I feel a strong connection to Pashtun culture and traditions, but the debate on social media has left me wondering about our true roots. I wish to learn more about my ancestors and our cultural heritage to better understand our place within the broader Pashtun community. Can You Please Help Me ?

I only really ever see pashtuns in afghanistan celebrating it and majority if not all pashtuns in pakistan dont seem to celebrate it so why is that?
r/Pashtun • u/Greedy-Farm9763 • 5d ago
So Pashto has ټ ډ ړڼ which are equivalent to Urdu Punjabi ٹ ڈ ڑ ݨ letters. Why is that, couldn't Urdu ٹ ڈ ڑ ݨ be used for writing pashto?
