Talk:Muhammad Gul Khan Mohmand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Pashtunization
The Road to Oxiana by Robert Byron |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=2TUWgCWjjvoC |year=1982 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=United States |isbn=0195030672 |pages=320. was cited for:
- "He was also assigned as "special envoy to northern Afghanistan" where he pushed for Pashtunization of the region (i.e. settling Pashtuns, often by force, in the north). Other schemes of Pashtunization included changing the lingua franca of the region from Persian to Pashto."
However that book does not mention Pashtunization, any appointment as a "special envoy" or any resettlement. It mentions Muhammad Gul Khan Mohmand twice, once on page 246 and once on page 250; neither reference mentions any policies. On that basis and on the basis of the evidence in the cites Tapper book, I have removed those sentences. --Bejnar (talk) 22:05, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- Now, Muqarnas: An Annual on the Visual Culture of the Islamic World by Gulru Necipoglu on page 87, does have a great deal to say about Muhammad Gul Khan Mohmand, including about resettlement. I suggest you look there. --Bejnar (talk) 22:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- That part is from the Tapper's book. Read it more thoroughly and you'll find it. TruePashtoon (talk) 23:01, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
If you have additional sources please add them. Thanks. TruePashtoon (talk) 23:06, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Actually that wasn't Tapper that was another source I forgot about it. I'm adding it. TruePashtoon (talk) 17:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
