Today female students protested against teachers harassment at the very famous Islamia College, #Peshawar . I consider this a new paradigm in Pashtun society, because this is the very first time that female stood for own-self in education institutions.

پچھلے 20 برس میں آٹھ آرمی چیف ہونے چاہئیں تھے، صرف 4 آئے۔ اس دوران صرف 4 وزیراعظم آنے چاہیئے تھے لیکن آٹھ آئے۔ پاکستان کا نہ صرف حساب کمزور ہے جمہوریت بھی! عزت تو ویسے ہی نہیں ہے!

Pashto has approx 88 dialects which are divided into 2 main dialects. Soft Dialect & Hard Dialect. Soft dialect means the sound which spoke on the tip of the tongue like in Qandahar, Quetta Waziristan While hard dialects are spoken from the throat like in Kabul, Peshawar, Mardan
