The Pushtun: A Tough People
in a Hard Land
The main idea for "Pushtun Page" is to introduce to the world this great nation currently under siege of religious fanatics. The Pakhtuns or Pashtuns (for people having difficulty pronouncing the harsh kh' sound similar to the hebrew ch from the base of the throat), are also Afghans. As you can see the Pakhtuns can be found in and originate from Afghanis
tan to present day north western Pakistan. In Pakistan they live mostly in the province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa or Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa formally known as the North West Frontier Province. As the world has become smaller the Pukhtuns have moved out and are found to be scattered through out India and other parts of the world. Here you will also find a collection of articles regarding the history, culture, traditions and origins of Pakhtuns/Pashtuns/Pushtuns/Afghans. As the deeply engraved tradition (code known as Pakhtunwali/Pakhtoonwali) of hospitality in our culture of Pakhtuns dictates, you are most welcomed and always invited to join us in our web forum "da Pukhtano Majlas."
