[edit] Article needs work

This article is written in a way as if Pakistan is a country of Pashtun people, but it's not, Pakistan is a Punjabi dominated country. Pashtuns in Pakistan only have one single TV station that just began airing for the first time in Pakistan's history in 2004. However, there are at least 20 or more Urdu TV channels. Afghanistan is the nation of Pashtuns, the Pashtuns there are the dominated group. Generally speaking, all the population of Afghanistan speak Pashto, meaning not only Pashtuns speak Pashto but others groups also speak and understand it. Pashto is the official language of Afghanistan. In Pakistan, Urdu is the official language of that country, English is a second language, Punjabi is the most spoken language there. Most Pashtuns in Pakistan are forced to speak all these non-Pashto languages.--Khan1982 22:06, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

This article is writen the way it should be thank you very much. Pakistan may have a majority Punjabi population, but Pashtuns make up a large percentage as well (14%). Also there are MORE Pashtuns living in Pakistan than Afghanistan. Third, the Pastho Film Industry is BASED in Pakistan, the most recognized Pastho television station is from PAKISTAN, and the most recognized Pastho news media is from PAKISTAN, so please take your nationalism some place else. It never ceases to amaze me how indians and afghans are alike. BK2006 19:23, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

It amazes me how ignorant the Pashtoons are.They really are still speaking about the Puta Khazana.Something that never existed and is a fraudulent work.It was proven many times. They have so much of a inferiority complex because they have no literature,that they invented something called puta khazana to show the Farsi speaking world that they have history. Well this backfired on them many times because instead of bringing them some positive acceptance,people started researching on Pashtoon heritage and discovered that actually they have none.The author of this page writes that they have nothing in written form because their poetry and literature was spread verbally and not in books?! I mean,who believes this crap.Even Neandertalers wrote for the afterworld their history on stone in a artful way. Pashtoons are so ignorant that they really and truly believe that they can sell us a story like that.They think the world is stupid.Verbally and not in written form??! I would suggest a major clean up on this article. 17.10.2007
