Tajiks Worldwide Community: Saghari - Viewing Profile

My father whose uncle (Maamaa) was a member of the parliament during Zahir Shah era when Dr Abdul Zahir was the speaker of the parliament, was saying that he was 100% a Laghmani Tajik. He like some other high ranking Tajiks of those times delebretly were hiding their ethnicity to save their positions. An other example of this type of Tajiks was General Husain Khan father of Babrak Karmal who was a Tajik but was intoducing himself as a Pashtun. We all know that, despite the fact Karmal was a contrvesaual figure he did positve things for promotion of Farsi / Dari and set back of triblism in the country. Similarly Ahmad Zahir as a Tajik served his own languge by singning poems of Malwawi, Hafiz, Rahi Muiri .. Furogh Farukhzad etc. tarther than Malang Jan or Khushaal Khatak.

After Hamasa Kohostani a "Tajik girl from Afghanistan" who became Miss England last year,
Samantha Tajik " agirl from Iran " became Miss Univers in Canada. No matter where are they from, Afghanistan, Iran or Tajikistan; they are " Tajik girls". Make no mistake all are the same Tajiks in Afghanistan or in Tajikistan and Persians in Iran. Tajik and Persian are synonym. Some of the Iranian families knowingly chose "Tajik" as their family name (i.e. they know they are Tajiks).

My Dear brother Dawud Khan Tajik Salam !

It was nice to read your informative and valuable post. I beleive and history supports that there were large pockets of Tajiks living in areas belonging to present day Pakistan. Your native language (i.e. Farsi /Dari) until recently was the official langauge of the Sub Coninient. When Pakistan was formed there was a proposal that Farsi should be the official labguage of the country but then the decision was in favour of Urdu to attract Muslims of India towards Pakistan. For an Urdu speaker it is very easy to learn Farsi. I praise your proposal for the Pakistani Tajiks to revive their native Farsi language.
I realy respect your sentiment of being a proud Pakistani. In fact it is valuable for us to have people like you in that great country. We Tajiks of Afghanistan have no problem with the people of Pakistan. The Pakistani establishment supported our enemies due to their misconceptions and due to high influence of Pakhtuns in military and Pakistani seceret services. They did that to promote Pashtuns agenda in Afghanistan which in the long run was not and is not in the interest of Pakistan. In reality a Tajik lead government in Afghanistan is not in favour of partition or destablization of Pakistan. We dont want Pakhtunistan and " Great Afghanistan". It is the desire of Pashtuns to claim part of Pakistan. In fact Pashtuns are working for destruction of Pakistan not us.
If you could read and undersatnd Farsi you would have a wonderful life by reaching to the the rich historic and cutural heritage of your forefathers. I am very glad to had a chat with you and will continue with you in the future.

God bless all Tajiks of the world
