Pashtun nationalism

Pashtun nationalism (Pashto: پښتون ملتپالنه) is an ideology that claims that the Pashtuns form a distinct nation and that they should always be united to preserve their culture and homeland. In Afghanistan, those who advocate Pashtun nationalism favour the idea of a "Greater Afghanistan", which includes Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and northern Baluchistan, and be ruled directly under Pashtun principles.
