thread_title: Merger of this article and article Paktha by admin Dbachmann 

message: Through your  combined edits viz
*AYousefzaiof 22nd Jan 2010
*EasternAryan 14TH Feb
you have introduced the term "are an ancient Persian people".
This is unsubstantiated , and unreferenced specially in relation to the Pakthas .
Unfortunately this is in line with such insertion being made on many Afghanistan related articles .
I am therefore going to reverting these edits unless you are able to substantiate with references from reliable sources.

message: == Abdul Ghaffar Khan's quote ==
His quote here is implying that Paktha's were living in ancient Gandahara when they were not, only in Eastern Afghanistan as noted by ancient greek scholars. This doesn't make any sense since their were no Pashtun people living in KPK (which was located in Gandahara) since most of them migrated after Islamic conquests and due to expulsion from other tribes. The Yousafzai who make up the majority in Swat claim they came from Northern Afghanistan, basically all Pashtun tribes living in KPK migrated from Afghanistan so Mr. Ghaffar's quote makes no sense.
Therefore i think it should be removed since he was not a historian but a rather a political activist and his work is an unpopular opinion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akmal94 (talk • contribs) 07:56, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
