Pashtun diaspora

The Pashtun diaspora refers to the global community of people of Pashtun ethnicity who have migrated from their traditional homelands in Afghanistan and Pakistan to other countries. This movement has occurred due to factors like conflict, economic opportunities, and political instability. Pashtuns abroad often maintain cultural practices, language, and community ties, forming vibrant diasporic networks in regions such as the Middle East, Europe, North America, and South Asia. Their diaspora influences local societies through cultural exchange, entrepreneurship, and political engagement, while also preserving their distinct identity and heritage outside their ancestral regions.
