As a Pashtun you tend to fall victim to many a Pathan jokes and accent mockery. Some may call you dumb, while others may taunt you for your short temper. Despite all of this, everyone knows if they ever mess with a Pashtun, they’re not getting away without a single scratch on their person.

These are some of the most relatable things, only if you’ve grown up as a Pashtun:

1. This “suniye jee” of your parents

2. This endearing way of referring to your friend Zafari or Waqasa

3. This scolding from your Pashtun mom

4. This important Hujra session ending statement

5. Taking stereotypes and owning them

6. And sometimes, giving into some stereotypes

7. This Pashtun slang is what you never get rid of

Sometimes even accidentally sneaking it into other languages that you may speak.

8. Being at this center of this tribal “war”

9. Or doing this

10. Sometimes even showing the world how Pashtun you really are

11. Having this for entertainment

12. Having the benefits of a “code language”

13. Seeing everyone wanting to associate themselves with you

14. This intense struggle

15. And having these phone conversations

16. How about this?

17. And this daant

18. But most importantly, this struggle

That was finally rectified this year.

Do you have a story from your Pashtun childhood?
