Pashtuns

The Pashtuns are an Iranian people in South and Central Asia with a reputation for leading a staunchly traditional Muslim lifestyle.
Many Pashtuns joined the Taliban movement which controlled parts of Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan in the early 21st century. After the annexation of both Afghanistan and Pakistan by the United Islamic Republic, the Pashtuns received autonomy in regions where they formed the majority of the population.
