i think disloyalty to mother tongue is done only by pashtuns bcoz i have observed that punjabis settled in our area long time ago, still speak punjabi in their homes.

Don't agree - My siblings and I are 2nd generation pashtoons living in UK and we speak pakhto fluently. I have 2nd generation friends whose young kids also speak pakhto fluently.

The same can be said of 2nd and 3rd generation punjabis who I know, we all make a conscious effort to keep the language going.







One must make a mark in this world, if I am remembered for anything, let it be cheese and crackers...
