    Pashtunistan was not an option as it extended to areas beyond British control. Moreover, there was a widespread boycott of the elections due to allegations of British fraud and intimidation in favour of joining Pakistan. Millions of Pashtuns abstained from voting. To get a clearer picture about the complexities of the NWFP at the time, go read The Dust of Empire by Karl E. Meyer.
