The tribal Pashtuns of Pakistan, based in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region, have historically been portrayed as "violent" and "warrior-like", both in the colonial and contemporary literature. However, a brief review of archival literature suggests that oriental representation of tribal Pashtuns is based on various generalizations that were formed and propagated during the British military expeditions against the tribal Pashtuns. Moreover, these generalizations and stereotypes against the tribal Pashtuns have persisted since Pakistan's independence in 1947. Recent developments in Pakistan's Pashtun tribal belt, with various tribes convening Jirga meetings, condemning and countering militant activities and protesting against the state's injustices explain the importance and desire for peace among the tribal Pashtuns. Finally, a brief analysis of the recently started Pashtun Tahafuz (protection) movement (PTM), an indigenous peace and human rights movement involving both men and women, and its nonviolent nature also reinforces the importance of peace for the tribal Pashtuns. |
