Talk:Afridi

message: I see some glaring POV issues saying things such as the Afridies fought bravely against the British (under crime)...just one example...I suspect the article needs an overhaul
===Reply===
I think they meant that because the Afridis opposed the British, they were subsequently forced into lives of crime. I think the person that added that informaton just used the wrong words.--Double edge86 00:28, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I have contacted by email Professor Karl Skorecki from Technion. He says that the media reports are inaccurate in one point. Skorecki sent me a very detailed email, but I'll have to omit the details of his reply because it was a private email. I will just do a quick summary of what I understood from the email.
Shahnaz Ali is working in the Technion laboratory, but his study is being done outside the laboratory due to several reasons. According to Skorecki, the work made by Shahnaz Ali in the Technion laboratory has nothing to do with the Afridi-Pashtun DNA study. I gather that Shahnaz Ali is in contact about this study with India scholar Dr. Navras Jaat Aafreedi, who is not affiliated with the Technion laboratory. Skorecki says that studies like the one done by Shahnaz Ali could be done in the future in Technion, but only after a long list of prerequisites is met. 
It seems that the media reports mixed the work made by Shahnaz Ali in Technion with the work made by Shahnaz Ali outside of Technion.
So, I will remove the text "collaborated with the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa" because it was misleading readers into thinking that Technion was helping with the Afridi-Pashtun DNA study. --Enric Naval (talk) 16:25, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The information about Afridi women torturing the prisoners keeps being removed. But this is not a far-fetched information, see that the Afridi had a reputation as being cruel:
"The normally cruel and perfidious Afridis held him in such high
esteem that he did not need to go armed among them." Supremacy by Stealth, Atlantic Monthly
"so that 'even the savage Afridi' and 'the most brutal of men' were moved to sing", quoting a poem used to teach students Reinforcing Ideologies about Women: A Critique of the English Texts for Undergraduates., Panjab University Research Journal.
"The Afridi is treacherous and cruel (as we measure treachery and cruelty) by heredity and by education" a 1899 text by a British official

message: I would please recommend cleaning up the 'Also see' section here as there are many articles added there that arent directly relevant to this article/topic and at least one (Tanoli) seems to be put there just to advertise the non-Pushtun tribe! As a Tanoli myself, I must decry this! : ) Thanks.

message: is the following passage true? references look good, in which case should be here.
:I've deleted as as I don't see the Robert Masters books as reliable sources and can find no other sources which mention the Afridi women. I've deleted that from the 2 other articles. Also, if you copy and paste you need to say this in the edit summary with a link to the web page where you copied it from. Dougweller (talk) 10:25, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Farsi tribe? 

message: Might be changing the infobox picture as the picture isnt of Afridis rather there of Yousafzais who have also used that picturen for the Yousafzai wiki
I have also made sure to remove "urdu" from the infobox from language as Afridis and Pashtuns dont speak urdu (unless its a second langauge) rather they speak pashto

thread_title:  Infobox picture and language? 

message: The Afridi tribe does not exist in UP, or Kashmir. Infact largely so they all live and originate from Khyber districts of KPK, their native homeland. I looked at the previous citation that was provided however reading it, There's no mention of any Afridids, in India. Logically as well if there was Afridi in India, what's the need to mention it, Pashtuns have Migrated world wide, so if your going to mention India, mention Uk and other foreign countries that Afridi have also migrated
Regardless, On this occasion Il be removing it from the Wikipedia on the occasion and lack of Citation evidence. Kasim30345 (talk) 11:43, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Just recently, I came across an account from Indian state of UP with the surname Afridi. Upon my interaction with the account holder, I got to  know about the existence of a whole group of Afridis in the UP state. However, the history remains unclear. 111.68.99.100 (talk) 11:58, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
