Afghan nationalism (original) (raw)

Afghan nationalism, or pan-Afghanism, is the belief or assertion that the Afghan people are a nation. Afghan nationalists promote the cultural integration of all the people living in Afghanistan. The concept of Afghan nationalism politically overlaps with Pashtun nationalism, as the latter favour the ideas of a "Greater Afghanistan" (i.e. it claims the Pashtun-speaking parts of Pakistan for Afghanistan). However, Afghan nationalists do not always demand for the Pashtun-speaking parts of Pakistan.
