[edit] Extra reference added in Putative Ancestry section

I have added primary references to Putative Ancestry section, by including names of few notable Bollywood Actors, and merged the single example of Shahrukh Khan to the same group.Salman Gurung 10:57, 11 January 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samsujata (talkcontribs)


The comments above by an unsigned contributor i.e. 'Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.245.31 (talk) 02:20, 23 October 2011 (UTC)' is pure nonsense. I do not know where he got his informatiom but he is totally wrong. Ghulam Mohammed was certainly a Lahori speaking Punjabi with Pashtun ancestory but Ayub Khan was born and bred in the Haripur district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (then known a North West Frontier Province or NWFP. Not only that but he comes from the leading Tarin Tribe of southern Hazara and belonged to its sardar (chief) family - he was the brother of Sardar Bahadur Khan, also a leading politician of his day. Please stop putting your biased opinion/ignorance on these pager. Moarrikh (talk) 00:40, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] genetics

What about that source ? it states pashtuns are genetically related mainly to other iranian peoples !

That's definitely not a WP:RS--they explicitly state that their info comes directly from Wikipedia, with modifications made by "experts"...but note that the encyclopedia is created and run by Sun Myung Moon. In other words, this is a fringe religion taking Wikipedia and modifying it with their own personal take on the world. Qwyrxian (talk) 07:17, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

What basis is there for the deletion of Khushal Khan Khattak's picture from the box in the top right corner? Not only should it be put up again, I further suggest that pictures of Ayub Khan and Imran Khan be added. I would have done it myself had I known how to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.186.161.207 (talk) 11:56, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
