There are NOT 3.2 million Pashtuns in india and the source is a verbal arbitrary statement by an individual as the source without any actual fact checking. Please correct this section. 2607:FEA8:1323:EC00:4C25:7C29:756A:A32F (talk) 13:38, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a mire reliable source for it? Afghan.Records (talk) 18:05, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Indian official census states a far lower lumber, around 27,000 if I recall correctly.
The currently cited source (a politician with their own agendas) is not reliable in comparison.
However, some people are obsessed with inflating the number of Pashtun living in India. Solblaze (talk) 20:04, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, sadly I have encountered the same issue. The figure is straight up unverifiable. In fact the figure comes from a lady who claims to be the daughter of a man who was allegedly adopted by Frontier Gandhi to continue the Pashtunistan movement from India. Her mission is equally non-sensical, as she is campaigning for citizenship for the said 3.2 million Pashtuns. She also makes other ridcilous claims that the Taliban are "outsiders" to Afghanistan and generally ignorant things, in what is almost certainly a psy-op by some agency. The fact is this "source" would not fly anywhere else on Wikipedia, but it keeps making rounds on here. KamranHassanUK (talk) 18:53, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This 2011 Indian census link can be used if interested. Jammu and Kashmir had around 18,000 Pashto speakers in 2011, Delhi 1,800 and so on. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:21, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pukhtuns are not iranic people , pukhtuns are belong to one of the lost tribe of isreal. there are people who moved to afghanistan during persian empire from iran, those people speak dari(persian) those people are not pukhtuns , The information in the wikipedia calling pukhtuns eastern irani people is not correct and needed to be change .

Only the ghilzai are and their origins are dubious! Ancestors of Pashtuns are Bactrians and Pactyans who were sedentary people 2607:FEA8:4D60:590:C1B4:3AFD:B8FE:8EFF (talk) 22:35, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
