Pashtunization is the process of settling Pashtuns in other people's lands[1] and the erosion of the customs, traditions and language of non-Pashtun peoples due to the political and cultural power of the Pashtuns in Afghanistan.[2] Pashtunization began as early as the 18th century under Ahmad Shah Durrani,[1] although some[3] cite the reign of Abdur Rahman Khan (in 19th century), and has continued up to today.
