@HanibalCanibal0@Khann466 Started to rise it forced army to deploy most of their resources against them leaving space for BLA, Baloch resistance for so long has survived because of it being far from major Punjab cities meanwhile Pakhtunkhwa has major highways/motorways helping easy military
@HanibalCanibal0@Khann466 Tbh Baloch resistance track record in Pakistan it isn't impressive, when ever they resisted from 47-90s it was crushed by army. Through checking BLA progress, there's substantial fall in their attacks b/w 2017-19 even though large scale Ops were launched against TTP but once TTP
Since the creation of Pakistan in 1947, the majority of Pak Pashtuns stood with Pakistan. Something like 80%. But in the last 3 years I would say that percentage has come down to 50/50. If there was a slightly more prosperous Afghanistan, I have little doubt that the Pashtuns—minus their corrupt and inept political leadership—would do anything to join it. Because there is nothing worse than being the biggest victims of violence in a country and still constantly be blamed for it. Like being treated like a thief in your home all the time.
There are few things that I can predict with as much certainty as the coming integration of the Afg/Pak Pashtuns. شاء أم أبي. One way or another.
Ideally, we would like Pak and Afg to merge into a confederation. But it seems that is still a much tougher proposition.
@jamalantiIK@IftikharFirdous What stopped Pak from taking J&K from India for the last 80 years rather lost Bengal, Siachin & Shaksgam Valley in the process
Don't fool urselfs by thinking Pak is some sort of superpower
@jayCult7u@IhsanTipu Punjabi Taliban were a lose factions with deriving their members from Lej, JeM, SSP etc.
The above groups still carryout attacks against Shias & some attacks here and there in J&K, so Punjabi Taliban still exist only that they have become subservient to the establishment
This is true. In Pakhtunkhwa, another name for Afghanistan is “Loy Kor” (Great Homeland) 🇦🇫 Solidarity with Afghans is integral to our politics.
Both religious and secular Pashtuns believe this. For example, Khushal Kakar - a secular Pashtun leader - states this view here.
Hafsa Malik is always racist to Pakistani Pashtuns. When a Pashtun simply said in a space that Pakistan army should stay away from politics, both Hafsa and Mohsin started abusing him, by calling him "afgando" and a "bastard."
@shan_yem@Invest_Kardo Things on paper looks good until the situation on ground shows that Pakhtunkhwa residents don't get their fair share of electricity as promised on paper, since all the electricity produced first gets stored in WAPDA HQ in Lahore than is distributed according to wishes of Federal
@Yaghistani_521 In the past all the great Pashtun leaders came from Peshawar Valley, from Gaju Yousafzai Khan, Kalu Khan Yousafzai, Najeeb ud Daulah Yousafzai, Khushal Khan, Aimal Khan Mohmand now u only find leaders who are pacifits whose name would hardly be accepted as greats
@Yaghistani_521 Areas which u are probably referring to being peaceful must be Peshawar Valley, if u know about the history about it will understand Mardan & Swabi were constantly engaged with engaged with Mughals & then with Sikhs, Peshawar was called by Ranjit Singh "A necklace of knives"
@Yaghistani_521 after generations of people beghairat, I'm no supporter of PTI but Baacha Khan clearly failed in every step he took cause the approach (non violence)was wrong PTI is headed on the same path .
PTI is what ANP used to be
@Yaghistani_521 ANP now has become unpopular but Baacha Khan had been already become popular amongst Pashtuns by 1920s and his coalition with Congress allowed him to win 1937 &46 elections, after 1947 for most time ANP held its popularity against other parties enough time to make generations
@Inam1057473@Eusafxae_ Yea I'm in for separation from Punjab or more of an autonomous state for Pashtuns but Idc if u like ARK he's still worthy to be blamed first lets accept he was helpless against the British but why did he wage for against Umra Khan?
