Pakhtun nationalism

Pakhtun nationalism is a movement emphasizing the cultural identity, rights, and political autonomy of the Pashtun (Pakhtun) people, who primarily live in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. It seeks to preserve Pashtun language, traditions, and historical roots, often advocating for greater self-determination or regional autonomy. Rooted in history and a sense of shared ethnicity, the movement also addresses issues like political representation and social development. While it varies in intensity, it generally aims to strengthen Pashtun cultural pride and ensure their interests are recognized within the broader national context.
