r/Pashtun

Good evening everyone. :)

Well, I never know how to start a topic, so.. I hope the reason for my doing this isn't confusing. Hehe

I really enjoy learning and reading about folklore, legends, superstitions, and mythology. I also love watching movies with this theme, including suspense and horror.

Recently, an Indian horror/fantasy film came up as a recommendation for me. I watched it and I simply loved it. One of the characters is a woman with her feet backwards. In my country's folklore, we have such an entity. But the reason she has her feet facing backward is different from that of the Indian deity. And I read a little about a creature from Pashtun folklore called Pichal Peri or Shisheka.

That being said, I think reading about it and hearing directly from people who have heard these stories and have greater knowledge about it are different things. Different experiences. The second option seems much more interesting and culturally enriching to me. If anyone has heard of these creatures or others and is willing to talk about it, I would be truly grateful. ☺️

Baloch have declared their independence, Sindh is building up militia to fight off the occupying forces, POK is in uproar against Islamabad and yearsn to join India and Indus river is completely under the control of the Indian administration.

If all of these regions would soon be free, then why the hell do so many people still refer to Paxtan as Pakistan. It is high time that this country is referred to by its new name: Paxtan, as the KIS regions are about to completely sever themselves from Jinnah's wet dream.
