Afghan Engineer,

I would also like to point out to you that in your quest to create this story of "Punjabi Elites capturing land", you forget that the residents of the NWFP freely and overwhelmingly chose the option to join Pakistan in a referendum. The most popular nationalist party in the NWFP, the ANP, completely accepts the role of the Pashtun as part of a Pakistani Federation. The ANP and the PPP together obtained an overwhelming majority of the seats in the NWFP legislature, so at this point at least you are part of a dying breed.
