Naya, not her real name, is just 11 but is no longer attending school in her home province of Kandahar. Her father says the government has "abandoned" her because she looks older than she is. "She is larger than average, and that was the reason the government told us she couldn't go to school. She must wear the veil (hijab) and stay at home." He doesn't hold out much hope for the rules changing under the current regime, but was keen to stress one point: the idea the people of Afghanistan backed the Taliban's ban was an "absolute lie". "It is absolutely an accusation on Afghans and Pashtuns that they don't want daughter's education, but the issue is vice-versa," he said. "Specially in Kandahar and other Pashtun provinces (where Pashtun people live), a lot people are ready to send their daughters to schools and universities to get education."

At-Taubah 9:73 يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ جَٰهِدِ ٱلْكُفَّارَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَٱغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْۚ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ O Prophet (Muhammad SAW)! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them, their abode is Hell, - and worst indeed is that destination. اے نبیؐ، کفار اور منافقین دونوں کا پوری قوت سے مقابلہ کرو اور ان کے ساتھ سختی سے پیش آؤ آخر کار ان کا ٹھکانا جہنم ہے اور وہ بدترین جائے قرار ہے #Allah #Islam #Quran #Muslim #Pakistan #India #pashtun #Pashtuns #Afghanistan #hindi #urdu #instagram #hinduism #hindu #islamic #newdelhi #turkey #lucknow #pathan #ertagul #ertagulghazi #islamicquotes #dua #jannah #deen #AllahuAkbar #prophetmuhammad #Muhammad #instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CBcFZ2xgInR/?igshid=9sebfmns2ff9

The Pashtun protest movement is a test for Pakistan’s democracy

After decades of being misunderstood, dehumanized, deprived by the state, Pashtuns are finally awakening, peacefully. A new social movement known as PTM, or Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (Pashtun Protection Movement), formed in 2014, has organised several protests to demand dignity and rights not just for themselves but all Pakistanis. PTM is demanding what, by definition, a functional democratic state must guarantee to all her citizens.
