I read a Kipling stofy about Pakistan in the old days.
"The Man Who Was" It mentioned "Pathan" and made statement that they were "of Jewish extraction". Was I surprised.
I looked up "Pathan" in encyclopedia, which said they have tradition of descending from grandson of King Saul,first king of Israel. Modern name of Pathans is Peshtun. And they
are the biggest component of the Taleban!
