संवाद # 70: Is Pastunistan biggest security threat for Pakistan? Top expert Tilak Devasher explains

[@maximilian9454]

This was like a lesson of Pashtun history. So much I learned from this video. Great Job 👍

[@mjr9504]

Great podcast arihant. Really would love to hear tilak sir on balochistan as well. Bring him as soon as possible. The way Pakistan trying to create fault lines in india inciting fear, which won't go there way as always it will be a failed project of Pakistan but if any country tried to exploit the existing fault lines of pakistan surely Pakistan will get shattered into many small countries.

[@MOHIT836]

He has written a beautiful book called Baluchistan Conundrum I have read it,it's amazing

[@faheemullahkhan8917]

First we Pashtuns are thankful to Tilak jee for writing this book. Some facts are missing about the pre-islam religion of Pashtuns. Pashtuns had adopted the religion of Zartusht before Islam. But overall a very nice book and the podcast. We Pashtuns love and respect India.

No brother, there might be some Zoroastrians in Afghanistan but the parts were largely Hindu/Buddhist/Indo-European Tribal religion. Archeology proves that. After islamic conquere many Hindus from Afghanistan also moved into Northern India which is Also well documented.

[@geetaliification]

16:36 At this point Tilak ji says "nānvati" meaning "refuge". This is just a wild guess but it sounds very similar to the sanskrit word अन्वती which means to pass over to another side, added with the negation marker न. *With* the negation marker it would almost mean "किसी को ख़ाली हाथ न जाने देना". And the sandhi rules also apply transforming the न to ना. This is in fact exactly how Tilak ji explains the word to mean. Also, pashtun "wali" sounds similar to the -वली of नियमावली, दीपावली etc. that is to say the list of things that defines a pashtun. They also refer to milk as "kasheer", which any person with even the rudiments of Sanskrit will know, is exactly similar to क्षीर.

[@geetaliification]

20:06 *ANOTHER SANSKRIT REFERENCE* Tilak ji says, "they settle disputes by the process of स्वर". (NOT musical note of classical Sanskrit). The word स्वर in *Vedic/Upanishadic* Sanskrit means "one who goes away". In fact, one of the meanings of the suffix "र" is "giving". स्वर would then *also* mean "given of one's own will", as opposed to "given in marriage" (possibly).

Unfortunately the Panjabi establishment of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia used the simple pokhton Afghan in the name of Islam and jihad. Pokhton honer and protect their guests and any minority with their blood and wealth. Panjabi Pakistan made billions of dollars from the death and destruction of the pokhton Afghan. During partitions pokhton protected the their Hindu brother with their blood no Hindu were harassed or harm because they were pokhton like us and equal to us as the professor said their no low or hi cast. Panjabi Pakistan evil establishment used pokhton against Russia and against India in Kashmir and against NATO and the American. We pokhton wish and hope that one day this unnatural state will disappear from our region because the British created this cancer what is called Pakistan to destabilize the region because this region is the most wealthy region in the whole world because India and Afghanistan and central Asian you just imagine their is no Panjabi Pakistan who hold the development of our region.

Very interesting talk. I would like to point out that Pashtuns in Afghanistan know about our pre-Islamic history, that our ancestors had various religions, including Buddhism, etc., as our history is older than 1400 years. An Afghan TV even presented a lengthy series about this topic. Yes, there are all kinds of theories out there, not all made or accepted by Pashtuns.

Great interview, Bhai... (As usual).... By the way I have several questions on Pashtuns which didn't get answered here. How can I send those to you so that maybe you could pose those in your next interaction?

[@Vaad]

Please post here. Will try to get an answer whenever I meet Tilakji next time.

[@bhkp2729]

1. Do we have any accounts of tribes from the regions today known as KPK, FATA and Afghanistan attacking Indus & Gangetic planes before 8th century CE?

[@bhkp2729]

2. Is it true that Ashokan pillars inscriptions in KPK, FATA & Afghanistan are written with Kharoshthi script in ancient Pashtu? 3. Are Kabuliwalas (Pathan moneylenders) common in Pakistan & Afghanistan as they are in Mumbai or Kolkata? How do they justify it given Islam prohibits interest?

[@bhkp2729]

4. What was the take of a non-violent Pashtun leader like Ghafar Khan on Pashtun tribal invasion of J&K in 1947-48? 5. Prince of Swat late Mr. Miangul Aurangzeb claimed in a TV interviews that the Pathani dress now famous was designed during Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa's rule in KPK. Is this claim true?

[@bhkp2729]

Nationalist Pashtuns across the Durand line are more secular. You won't believe that a major portion of Pashtuns have become atheists due to these imposed wars in the name of religion. West, with the active connivance of Punjabi generals, are trying hard to erase Pashtun nationalism by radicalization but they ll never succeed.

Do you think strong Afghanistan would be disaster for Pakistan and could taliban accommodate all the ethinic tribes to make Afghanistan save from influence of outside powers? Though taliban are in power, but, Do taliban understand that they were part of project of superpowers and Pakistan in order to achieve their objectives...

[@faheemullahkhan8917]

@@SHIVAMYadav-pw5uz Stable Afghanistan is the ultimate death of Afghanistan. The Taliban have every ethnicity in its structural body, but Pashtuns are in majority. Actually US forces bombed only the Pashtun areas during the invasion and that's why Pashtuns had left with no option but to join the Taliban. Pakistan had sheltered only Haqqanis and that was a matter of their survival, otherwise they hate Pakistan. The actual Taliban are Qandahari Taliban and they are now forming the army and having control of the economy, Mullah Birader being their finance minister. You are seeing only propaganda against the Taliban, mostly from the tajiks of panjshir or of previous government officials.

Extract is here "Sudās, the Vedic (Indo-Aryan/Pūru) king enters the Punjab area from the east and fights this historical battle against a coalition of ten tribes (nine Anu tribes, and one tribe of the remnant Druhyu in the area), and later these tribes start migrating westwards. The Anu tribes (or the epithets used for them) named in the battle hymns are: VII.18.5 Śimyu. VII.18.6 Bhṛgu. VII.18.7 Paktha, Bhalāna, Alina, Śiva, Viṣāṇin. These tribal names are primarily found in only two hymns, VII.18 and VII.83, of the Rigveda, which refer to the Anu tribes who fought against Sudās in the dāśarājña battle
