Pashtun tribes

Pashtun tribes are traditional social groups within the Pashtun ethnic community, primarily found in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They are organized into tribal divisions called "Khels," each with distinct lineage and leadership. These tribes have a strong code of conduct called "Pashtunwali," emphasizing hospitality, honor, and justice. Tribal affiliations influence social identity, customs, and local governance, often shaping community dynamics and decision-making. Despite modern influences, tribal loyalty and traditions remain vital, ensuring social cohesion within these culturally rich and historically significant communities.
