Talk:Kochis

message: "Possibly, Kuchis are descendants of the ancient Kushans - the Tocharian Yuezhi,[4][5] who were recorded by the Chinese source to be living in the grasslands of Western Central Asia, in modern-day Kunduz, Kucha and Pamir regions."
This cannot be the case, since the Kuchis are Pashtun, and the Kushans probably were Indo-Europeans from the present autonome Xinjiang region in West China. However, the Kushans Empire lasted longer than the buddhist Kushan rulers, since the indo-sassanids that conqered the Kushan Emire, just took the name, and decleared themselves as Kushan emperors, "Kushansha".
The Pastuns are an Eastern Iranian ethno-linguistic group with somehow unknown origin, and share no traits with the Kushan appearance. The Kushans are believed to be the ancesters of the hazaras.

message: Not only is the article thin but it makes unsubstantiated, unfair allegations against an entire ethnic group in stating that the Kuchi nomads are all strong supporters of the Taliban. 
Please consider this information before making such a judgment against this entire ethnic group:

thread_title:  innaccurate, thin article 

message: This article is really a mess and needs a lot of work done on it by knowledgable editors to bring it up to Wikipedia standard. 
Unfortunately, I don't have the references needed to do a thorough job. Also, as one can see in the above entries on this page there is much that is disputed in the article. I have, therefore, added a disputed tag and a couple of citation needed tags to alert readers that much of the information in the article is questionable. Also, the history section should, I believe, give a history of the people and not just the disputes they have been having with other Afghans. 
Finally, I think it should be made clear that there are probably a number of political as well as ethnic factions within Kuchi groups (they are not all one united group - the term Kuchi just means "nomad" - and this article makes it sound as if most Kuchis support or supported the Taliban. Is there any real evidence of this? 
I think extreme caution should be exercised in describing their present situation accurately as there is, I believe, a real potential for this article to increase tensions and misunderstandings and it would seem to be open to misuse or promotion of biased views. It would be good, I think, if an experieinced Administrator would keep an eye on this article to make sure this does not happen. Sincerely, John Hill (talk) 04:49, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
