Pashtuns are valiant, hard-working and just plain beautiful, inside and out. Not only are they kind and hospitable towards their guests and respectful towards women, they are resourceful – you would seldom see a Pashtun not earning his keep. On top of that, they are very very proud of their culture and heritage and that’s really worth a nod or two.
That’s why we decided to showcase all that the Pashtun culture has to offer, one picture at a time.

After having seen the beauty of Pashtoon girls,
I insist that no other beauty is comparable to them. (Khushal Khan Khattak)#PashtunCulture— Khizer Hayat Khan (@iKhizerHayat) January 31, 2016
