I call myself an Afghan

Yet I hate the language which gave me this name ( Dari)

I claim attock and hazara

Yet I hate the hindko language

Those who speak pashto are pashtuns

Oh but the gujjars who speak pashto aren't pashtun

After all pashtun is by blood yet the pashtuns who speak hindko siraiki or Punjabi don't count

Unless of course they're famous

I claim native lands claiming that imperialism has taken away these lands from me

Yet my own land (Afghanistan) is the bastard child of a lost Iranian Qajar state and British imperialism

Im not cruel the Punjabi is cruel

For there are no pashtuns in the army!

Oh my great land

Built on the lands of khorasani tajiks nuristanis hazaras and others

Pashtun is he who is by blood

Yet pashtun who doesn't speak pashto counts not

Unless of course he is famous

Then you claim all the pashtun and pashtunised people

Disliked by pashtunised people hindko speakers farsiwans others am I

Yet always the Punjabi and the Tajik are to blame

How dare they exist ???

For we are the Aryan race!

And they?

Deluded dravidians thinking they have a culture

Pashtun nationalist I am

Hello, I can't find a dedicated subreddit for Hindkowans as a whole that is active so I decided to post here. I am from India; my grandfathers on both sides were Sikh-Hindu from Mardan, KPK. I don't know about my paternal side but according to my grandfather his family did speak Hindko (he referred to it as a dialect of Punjabi though) and I believe we had been in Mardan for a fairly long time. I wanted to ask if anyone on this sub is informed on the history of Peshawari Hindkowans and whether they can tell me more. As a side note, I wanted to ask whether there is any info on the Hindko language in India today and also what the link between Hindko and Gandhara is.

I am sick of seeing posts from the Pak Punjab sub where they act like migrants from other provinces are invading Punjab bringing crime and refusing to integrate. I cannot speak the suffering other Pakistanis have had to deal with but I can speak from personal experience how my hometown has been ruined.

As someone who was born and spent his childhood in Murree. There is a double standard where they claim our lands and force a cultural monopoly over what it means to be Pakistani while treating everyone who isn't Punjabi an outsider. They take the resources of our provinces and the scenic views of our mountains while erasing the actual people, languages and identities that belong to us.

Murree used to be a clean peaceful and beautiful land. Now it has turned into a mess ever since Muree came under the province of Punjab.

• Mass Deforestaton: Real estate mafias outside of Murree cut our trees to make room for hotels and shopping plazas they are the ones who charged high prices during 2022 while the real locals were helping the tourists.
• Non existent healthcare: They make billions in tourist revenue and can't build a proper hospital.
• No Proper waste disposal: They refuse to build a proper garbage disposal while talking about making a glass train to Muree.

There is so much more I could say but it wouldn't be enough and after all this they blame the "locals" while its them who have shit on our land they build expressways so they all can flock over and after they ruin it they blame us.

What they have done to Murree is so little compared to how they have ruined other provinces KPK, Baluchistan etc in different ways. Murree was just a gateway to the North just wait and watch how our beautiful country gets ruined when they do the same to the Northern Pakistan when they finally get access to corrupt it.

Hello, my background is Tanoli, I was born in Canada, lived in Karachi for some time and since then I have moved back to Canada, I don’t know if this is the right sub for this topic but I would like to move back to Hazara sometime in the future, I can speak a little Hindko, understand most of it, my family had some land near our village up in Hazara however we have a dispute with another tribe over it so we never claim it although we legally own that land, nevertheless what would be a decent place in Hazara to settle down, preferably not in a city, I dislike both Haripur and Abbottabad, I prefer some place quite where I don’t have to interact with other people unless I absolutely want too, I also prefer being close to nature if that makes sense lmao
