Why do 90% of Punjabi vs. Pashtun fights on this site devolve into monkeybrained “haha we fuk ur women” discourse?
Embarrassing luchak behavior from everyone involved.

“more Pashtuns than Afghanistan” “Pakistan is the real country of Pashtuns” 🤣
all cultures and languages will always be marginalised to a degree in Pakistan, it has zero hold on its main ethnic groups cultural output and soft power
Literary events in Pakhtunkhwa systematically exclude Pashto. Kids are fined for speaking their language at school. Not a single public sign is in Pashto.
This is how Pakistan treats the majority language in Pakhtunkhwa. If this isn't state-backed cultural erasure, what is?

Shameful
Excluding Pashto from KP’s Provincial Literary Competitions is an act of epistemic violence. Colonialism does not merely occupy territory it colonises minds, marginalises indigenous knowledge and imposes hierarchies of language. After Governor’s Rule, this cultural
Last year, Amnesty International released a video covering Pakistani drone strikes on civilians in Pakhtunkhwa.
The army’s drone campaign continues to this day - thousands have been killed.

Pakistan is such a not settler-colonial state that its military junta has drone striked 3 different ethnic minority provinces within the last year (they have a total of 5 provinces)
Pakistan, for all its many faults, is not a settler-colonial state keeping millions of indigenous people stateless, under military occupation, & actively committing a genocide against them.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Pakistan army killed hundreds of thousands to millions of Bengalis & raped ~200k women. Hamoodur Commission confirmed atrocities. Diplomats called it “selective genocide.”

The central Iranian Persians use Persian Kamancheh (left picture ) , Gheychak - E - Balochi is used in 4 southeastern provinces of Iran by Baloch musicians.
(Right picture ).
Balochi Gheychak refers to Balochi Soruz /Sorud instrument like the one the above Pashtun father is using.
A southern Pashtun father and cheghaka player entertains his children. The cheghaka is a local variant of the Iranian gheychak.
Important especially for Pashtuns of the Kakar tribe, cheghaka performances are often accompanied by a special form of poetry known as Kakari ghari.
Latest Pakistani nationalist delusion is pretending Urdu and Hindi aren’t dialects of the same (incredibly rich) language. Urdu comes from modern-day India and is literally mutually intelligible with Hindi.
Persian loanwords won’t erase Urdu’s fundamentally Hindustani character.
Mass psychosis event gripping Pakistanis. When your main export is grooming gangs, you start claiming an Indian-Ugandan politician in New York based on nothing but vibes.
I have been thinking why Zohran has always felt so distinctly Pakistani to me (and not Indian). And yesterday it dawned on me that I can’t think of one prominent practicing Indian Muslim. I only know secular Bollywood celebrities but I know tons of Pakistanis like Zohran.

I’ve said it before - we need a united front for Pashtun, Baloch, Gilgiti, and Kashmiri nationalists. We have our differences but can work together on fighting for more autonomy, cultural/language rights, and resisting the army. These steps can pave the way for eventual freedom.
Heavily armed Pashtuns have shut down Balochistan's main highways, in defiance of the army.
"Baloch are our brothers who are also fighting for freedom. We are only against the Pakistani regime and its hired killers."
These are the images you will never see on Pakistani Twitter.

A Pashtun elder from Lakki Marwat started humiliating Pakistanis and Pakistan through his poetry at Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad and all the Pashtun students started cheering for him.
Imagine being a Pakistani and watching Pashtuns cheer for anti-Pakistan poetry.😂
Pashtun students in Islamabad perform a mast attan in striking all-black outfits 🔥
We will never apologize for our words or for who we are.
Replies under this tweet are hilarious - Punjabis really have no clue how much they're hated by people from KP 😭
Same vibe as Israelis tourists who are shocked by how universally reviled they are.
