Assalaamo Alaikum Admin sahab!
Mein October 2010 mein iss forum ka member bana........I belong to Peshawar vally of Pukhtunkhwa province in pakistan.....and belong to "yousafzai" tribe of pukhtuns.........Pegham is a nice place and i learnt a lot here.....it have many sections ........but the one that attracted me to register here is the "pashto section" of Pegham......we have very nice and intelligent pukhtuns from all over Pakistan here.....being a student of pashto literature and a lover of pashtun culture and language i found it quite helpful .......My heartiest thanks to the Admin of this site for making it an excellent place for pakistanis.......Laiken saath mein aik gila bhi hai admin se:
Pegham mein aanay ke baad pehley hi dinn i saw this sentence " The pround language of pathans" written below "pashto section"............meine pashto section ki moderators "Hala" aur "Bhatakti Rooh" dono se request ki ke yahan word "Pathan" ki jaga "pukhtun" ya "Pashtun" likha jaaye.......because we would prefer to be called pukhtuns/pashtuns as this is our real name/identity...........The persians give us the name "Afghan" and the Indians called us "pathans" which according to some historians have come from the phrase "Ullu ka Phatta" which later became only "Pathan" others are of the opinion that as pukhtuns under the leadership of "Sher Shah suri" captured the fort of "Patna" so the indians called them pathans....another historian is of the view that when the first pukhtun leader embaraced Islam he was given the title of "Bathan" by the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) ...that later became pathan.......similarly there are various stories regarding the word "Afghan".........but most of the pukhtuns living in pakistan and Afghanistan hate the word Pathan and assume it a racial slur used by non pukhtuns especially the Hindus and punjabis....So i request Admin of this forum to change that word Pathan with "Pashtun".......(though i already have requested him 3 times through moderators, but he have given them a deaf ear)........
This time i am going to request him in the forum through this thread........Pashtuns of the forum are requested here to write their comments about this suggestion..........and admin is requested to look into the matter please......
Kind regards,
Tauqeer Ahmad Yousafzai
