NON VIOLENT SOLDIER BY (Scott Baldauf )
Here are two words that don't often appear in the same sentence: nonviolent PashtunsFor centuries, Pashtun tribes in Afghanistan and in India's northwest frontier were famed for their vendettas and feuds, for their bravery and treachery, for their unwillingness to accept outside rule. Pashtuns formed the bulk of Islamic militants who expelled first the British and then the Russian imperial armies from Afghanistan, and later formed a religious extremist movement called the Taliban.But back in 1930, tens of thousands of Pashtuns tried a path less traveled: nonviolent civil disobedience. This movement - called the Khudai Khidmatgar, or Servants of God - united bickering tribes for an astounding 17 years to end British colonial rule."Pashtuns by nature are peace lovers," says Murtaza Khan Shaheen,...

PAKHTOONS DEFINATION BY GHANI KHAN
As Abdul Ghani Khan spoke about Pakhtoons/Pashtuns/Pakhtuns:The people I love, which makes my task harder than ever.Pakhtuns, the simply amazing and amazingly simple people, are not easy to love. Pakhtun takes a lot of knowing. Pakhtun is the most complicated simplicity. I want to bring him down from the hills of Khyber and the plains of Hashtnager, face to face with you in his torn clothes and grass sandals, his eyes full of manliness, mirth and mischievous sprite, and his head full of infantile and noble pride - the paramount camouflage he uses to hide his desi...

Ghani Khan -------The Renaissance Man
In his famous book, A brief History of Time, Dr. Stephen Hawking examines the nature of the universe, and explains that modern laws of time and space no longer distinguish between the past and the future. He goes on to discuss "the psychological arrow of time" which enables us to see the past, but not the future and rejects the possibility of memory being reversed if the universe started to shrink instead of expanding as it is now.But in the aura of space and time, and cycle of change only few people would survive- those who are close to nature and beauty. The reflection of nature in their works in whatever form it may be would give them an unending...

Film on ‘Frontier Gandhi’ to be release in the US
A new documentary film detailing the life of Pashtun leader Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, popularly known as the “The Frontier Gandhi” for his espousal of non-violent means for political change in the region, will premiere in the US next month. ‘The Frontier Gandhi: Badshah Khan, a Torch for Peace’ was directed by filmmaker and writer T C McLuhan, daughter of Canadian media theorist Marshall McLuhan, who says she spent 21 years to bring Khan’s story to the screen. Sixty-year-old McLuhan made numerous trips to Afghanistan and other places linked to Khan’s life even as American bombs fell in Taliban-held Afghanistan after the September 11 terror attacks and through the dangerous times that followed to shoot the film, the Los Angeles Times reported. She filmed in India, Afghanistan and Pakistan’s...

دا قوم د هشتنګر په تپه کښ اوسږېږي چه دا اته کلي په کښې دي. تنګي، شير پاؤ، عمر زي، ترنګزي، اتمانزي، رزړ، چارسده، پړانګ. دا علاقه د سوات په سيند اوبېږي ځکه ئې ټوله زمکه څربه او زوروره ده. او خلق ئې اسوده او خوشحال دي. په تيره تيره ئې خانان چه په ټوله صوبه کښ د هر چا نه لوئ او مالدار زميندار دي. او د هغو عزيزانو او اقرباؤ اعلي اعلي تعليمونه کړي دي او په سول او پولس او فوځ کښ لوئ لوئ عهدې لري او د لوئ عزت خاوندان دي. د سرخ پوشو مرکز هم په دې تپه کښ دې. او دلته يو ازاد سکول هم شته. د سول نافرمانې په دوران کښ د دې ځائ خلقو ډير کار کړې دي. که ريښتيا مې پوښتې نو دا خوشحالي او بيغمي او لياقت او تعليم او دا د ازادي خيال د سرکار د امن په برکت د دوئ نصيب شوې دي. ځکه د درانو او سکهانو په حکومت کښ په دې خلقو داسې داسې ظلمونه شوي دي چه تر اوس پورې ئې سپين ږيري مشران خبې کوي او چه بنده ئې واوري نو وجود ئې...

LOVE OF INDEPENDENCE
One of the outstanding characteristics of the Pukhtoons, as gleaned from their record, is their passionate love for freedom and violent opposition to any infringement of their liberty. They have preserved their liberty by the force of arms despite heavy odds. Inspite of their ignorance of military science, modern techniques of warfare, lack of sophisticated weapons and material resources, they held their own against every invader, including the British who were one of the most powerful empire builders of their time. Though at times Pukhtoons were temporarily subdued, they could never be held in permanent subjugation or tied in the shackles of bondage. They offered staunch resistance to any one who ventured to encroach upon their liberty and refused to submit tamely to the position of the vanquished....

One of the great religious scholar of Swat (A city in current Pakistan), Swat Sahib, said: "If any other then, the book of God, was permissible for prayer, I would have defiantly chosen Rahman's book." At the dawn of seventeenth century, at the age of invasions from the West by Persians and East by Moghols, a the time when Afghans were in the mist of war in every corner of the nation, a the time when education was the last thing in peoples' mind, a legend was born. In the high hills of the Afghan nation, in the provincial area of Mohmand, a child was born, by...
HAMZA BABA POETRY
Why my love's face wrinkles in smile in the mirror, Her loveliness increases and excels tremendously. Since the inducement of her face is similar to spring, The amazement of the mirror changed into a garden. The devout seem sorrow stricken externally, But he doesn't have any sorrow in the heart. The human beings have to face some constrains, On the way of their free will. You can see glimpses of the beauty in my amazement, You don't need to have a mirror. Is it the effect of cosmetics or thy own youth, Which radiates...
