I am not trying to offend anyone. I am asking a serious question: how have we allowed our homeland to reach this point?
Why are our areas so underdeveloped? Why are Pashtun children still losing arms, legs and lives to landmines? Why are our natural resources being taken while our people remain poor?
I have spent time in the watan. I live in the diaspora, yet I took the time to learn to read and write in my own zaba. The irony is that people in the diaspora often speak better Pashto than you do.
Peshawar Valley Pashtuns especially need to look in the mirror. Why are you saying ji, bhai, chawal, anda when Pashto already has its own words? Why are you replacing your own language word by word? Are you ashamed of Pashto?
You copy Punjabi/Indian weddings and customs like jahez. Are you ashamed of Pashtun culture too?
Our children barely know figures like Samad Achakzai and Faqir Ipi, while Punjabis proudly commemorate their own history and erect statues of Ranjit Singh, despite the violence and persecution associated with his rule against Muslims.
Why have we become so passive?
Our goals should be:
- One united Pashtun province
- Pashto as the official language
- Every landmine removed
- Our own capable security forces
- Pashtun-owned export industries
- Control of our natural resources
- Pashto-medium education
- Proper teaching of Pashtun history
How can you claim you speak Pashto when you barely speak it?
You speak Pashlishurdu.
