Why wouldn't it be? Pashtun tribes had always been united, as the Kingdom of Kabul did not include their territories. Babur had to fight through them to get into what is now Pakistan.
Their current division is courtesy of the Brits, who apparently rather enjoyed going around the world and splitting tribal and ethnic groups with borders to provide never ending future conflict.
