Pashto nationalism

Pashto nationalism is a movement that emphasizes the identity, culture, language, and political interests of the Pashto-speaking people primarily in Pakistan and Afghanistan. It seeks to promote Pashto heritage, secure political rights, and sometimes advocate for greater autonomy or independence. Rooted in a shared history and cultural pride, it responds to marginalization and aims to preserve Pashtun traditions amid regional and national dynamics. While diverse in its expressions, Pashto nationalism is fundamentally about strengthening and uniting the Pashto-speaking community within broader national contexts.
