Why do punjabis hate pathans

Subtle racism and racist attitudes against my people is still racism. Go away. Sorry if I offended you, where did I go wrong? What are you referring to when you say subtle racism? Please explain so I can make amends.

The whole thing. Okay now I get what you mean, I can see the subtle racism you were talking about. Just some have adapted the change a tad bit more than others. Good to see you were able to figure out on your own why your comment was racist especially against Pashtuns.

And this is implicitly racist too, because you first claim Punjabi women are fairer BUT still a notch down. Fair meaning good, of course. How do people make such conclusions? Like Liked by 1 person. Full agreement. Beauty can be find in the whitest of white and the blackest of black Alek Wek!

Khan was a nonviolent soldier who fought for freedom and justice for more than 70 years. Incredibly, Khan raised a large nonviolent Muslim army to fight British colonial rule from the midst of a proud and largely tribal people, the Pukhtuns. Bakht Khan never surrendered infront of enemies. Instead he joined rebel forces in Lucknow and Shahjahanpur. In 13 May he was mortally wounded and died. For me Bakht Khan is symbol of resistance against injustice and oppression. Being a student of History i came across these great Pashtun leaders who have not only impressed me alot but have changed my way of thinking about life.

I think such leaders are born rarely in history. Mr Atif read your own history first and then you would be proud of your own people more than others. It is a Pure Pure lie. Infact he studied on British Scholarships for your information. Moreover he was Secular. So from where the Islamic Army is coming?. You are one Punjabi that certainly belongs from Central Punjab. You do not know any history and then get impressed by others easily.

Infact they enjoyed power by serving the British. Also someday Ask the Historians what words he used for the Punjabis and Urdu speakers. He used to call them Wolves. Still you are impressed by a person who used to mock your people. Well and good. We Punjabis are not dieing to marry Pashtun women. We have plenty of fair skin ladies in Punjab, Pakistan and not all of them are loose.

We just want our women to be educated. We are grateful for Punjabi ladies. Are you serious? More suggestions that Punjabis are jealous of Pashtuns. Lol long history. Ya Allah kya karoon inn insecure logon ke saath. You fought with turkic ghaznavi and ghouri……against indians……..

I m not a punjabi,,,,,,i m a pukhtoon,,,,,and of coarse no punjabi will tell u that he is jealous of us…. Are you serious?! God be with you. Has hatred and bigotry become so natural to you you do it so comfortably in Ramadhan too? You are a disgraceful and racist prick. Feel free to think so arrogantly but calling a race of people ugly is an extremely ugly thing to do. You are not welcome here anymore. No human full of hate is. This is feminist territory and I demand full respect for all people.

I studied in Karachi for 6 long years. My roommates were Punjabi. There era one classmate who was afflicted with acne otherwise he looked no different than ant pukhtun in Mardan or malakand. One was from Multan and the other was from Sialkot.

The one from Multan was jealous of me not because of my looks but because of my grades. There are dark pukhtuns and dark punjabies. Whiteness does not confer superiority on anyone. I had 9 females in our MSC class. Some were fair, done a little darker but each one was attractive. Beautiful and handsome people are in every race.

So you think people are jealous of you because you think you are handsome, you are sadly mistaken. I have met handsome pukhtuns, ugly pukhtuns, dark or darker pukhtuns and fair pukhtuns. The same is true of punjabies.

My father was fair, my sisters are all fair and my brothers are fair too, except myself. They called me torkoney. But believe me my wife thinks I am handsome and my children think that too. Just to say that nobody is jealous of you if you are a shady white.

My own preference is not pale white but attractive person, fair or dark, does not matter. You must be living in a dream world. Get up and smell the coffee. I agree with you on the point that racism comes from both pashtuns and punjabis. On an individualistic level, all members of a race whether they are part of the majority or minority can be racist against one another. At a collectivistic level, the dominant group with power in a society are the only ones that can permeate society with their racist attitudes because of their influence.

Punjabis have used their power as the majority to establish their behavior and culture as the norm. Your examples of institutionalized racism prove my point where society at large deems it okay to mock pashtuns and pashtun culture.

The implications of racism at a collectivistic standpoint are much more severe than racism at an individualistic standpoint. In heterogeneous societies, the dominant group in society often have a higher standard of living than the minority groups, and the differences in standard of living between pashtuns and punjabis fits into this trend.

Furthermore, any military action in FATA, no matter how cruel or unjust, is seen as justifiable by the media, the public and politicians because it is being done against the savage backward gun loving pashtuns. The racist attitudes towards muslims by the majority of the american population made it easier for the US to invade and carry out any military action against Iraq. All forms of racism should be condemned, however, some forms of racism are more powerful than others.

In a society, the majority that is in power has a greater responsibility to be conscious and aware of their actions because of the greater power that they posses in influencing society at large. Hey Orbala, first of all, why on Earth do Punjabis mock Pashtuns? Even though I am a Punjabi, I never thought of it, and never even knew that! We all are together one. Well, once when I saw Pashtuns and Pathans, I noticed that they all do have something in common.

Oh my God! Most of all they are very adorable. Especially pashtun kids!! As Pakistan has 4 provinces, so somewhat their cultures are a bit different from each other. Ex: Pashtuns have different styles of dresses, food etc. Pathans and Pashtuns, both are very kind. Some Afghans which live in Pakistan look a lot like Pashtuns and Pathans.

Hmm, really damn cool!! Thanks, May Allah bless you! Lots of people assume all Pukhtuns are white or have light-colored eyes. My own skin complexion is such that I resemble my Sindhi and some Punjabi friends, so so much for whiteness! Thanks brother, I hope and pray that Pakistan overcomes all obstacles and is on the path to progress as an Islamic nation.

I am a Pakistani Pakhtoon from Bajaur but am pursuing my higher education in Karachi. Regarding Pashtun being all white with blonde hairs and coloured eyes, it is a stereotype. I am of very brown complexion and at my University, my friends usually pull my leg saying that i am not a Real Pathan because of my brown skin tone. Yes the facial cut of pashtuns is such that i can recognize a pashtun from far off irrespective of his colour, but this is also not the case many times since there are many other people like hazaras, chitralis, gilgitis, etc who can easily be mistaken to be pashtuns and there are quiet of few among pashtuns who would pass in Punjab and Sindh, i being one of them.

And yes there are a fair share of pashtuns who are snow white with coloured eyes as well. So there are lot of variations among us as a people. Dear Orbala , the thing I noticed in Punjabis are that they consider themselves superior, intelligent, and more worthy than all of the other castes in the country.

The racism they show is not only for pashtuns but also for saraiki and other speakers. If you want to see the real picture than please visit and live in lahore, multan etc type cities. We pashtuns do jokes and these jokes are in limits and very few almost non existent, but they have brought the mockery to another level.

You are blaming pashtuns that they are racist or mock punjabis? Did pashtuns mocked punjabis on television or media or print publications? In your daily tv shows like khabar naak, stage dramas, local tv dramas, movies, advertisements etc you will only see the funny pashtun who will also be presented as a joker in front of the audience. Take another example of Islamabad where centaurus banned Pindi boys and you will be surprised that only Islamabadians are allowed, why?

If this racism is only for pashtuns then why this racism is for potoharis. My friend I am a Potohari and we are called Potohari Punjabis.

What type of stupid argument is that in Islamabad Punjabis live so they banned Pindi boys Potoharis. Potohar is the whole of North Punjab. Potohar is a region of Punjab. So Punjabis banning Punjabis?. I have never met anyone who never associate themselves with Punjabi identity in Potohar. Only those who live across the Attock bridge suddenly change their identity and their are some reasons for it.

Update your knowledge kindly. Learn something about this region and then comment. Also do you know Islamabad was the part of Punjab before one general annexed it into Federal Territory.

B alo. Pathans eat meat and punjabis eat dal, Pathans are gharati and punjabis are baighairat,pathans are clean and punjabis are dirty,smelly, pathans are beautifull light skinned and punjabis are ugly dark skined , pathans are strong and punjabis are week.

Atleast pathans like to believe all the above:-O. Laulak Siddique. There is little difference. Pathans are usually fairer ls -- Click here for Free Video!! I think you should cut out the stupid racist crap. Ghaffar Khan burns in hell soon to be joined by his satanic son Wali. I still remember when I was a child I used to go out almost all the time.

There are Pathans in town and they will take you with them. Most of them are gay, so try to avoid them as much as you can. Unfortunately, when I formally joined my university I had a very bad image of the Pathan in my mind. I remember in my first ever class at the campus when I saw that there were some Pathans in my class I was just thinking so many bad things about them: abductors, heartless, homosexuals…. With all this I started reading with them and reluctantly interacted with them.

I started finding things contrary to what I had learnt. They were more loving than Punjabis, more loyal than anyone else in my social circle, more intelligent, more outspoken and more concerned about Pakistan than us.

This is what I learnt about Pashtuns in my own classroom and through my extensive interaction with them. Moreover, I read about you. I was interested to learn about your culture including marriage system, badal the concept of revenge and everything about Pakhtunwali. I ate your traditional foods and took the same tea. The bottom line is, dear Pashtun friends, you have been stereotyped in a very bad manner in Pakistan. Who did it? Express your opinions, share your thoughts, post your writings and connect with like minded people through the power of expression.

Why is that Pathans dislike Panjabi's? At one point in my life, I had a crush on a Panjabi muslim and asked my cousin whether it was okay for a Pathan and Panjabi to be together. His answer to that was, "Not in years has a Pathan in our family married a Panjabi. Add Comments. Comments on this journal. Login to find out September 19, at am. OMG Talib, that was sooo good.
