They are followers of Ghaffar Khan and strong opponents of Taleban. I was told that Pathans (Paktuns) are mentioned in the Mahabharata. Vrin, or Geoffrey or some of my friends there, can you please send me that reference? In what context are they mentioned in the Mahabharata? Why and in what capacity are they mentioned? Please send me the reply directly to my email address and not just to the list... U am not checking my email too much and that way I don't miss it.
