suprastarr, you could learn pashto from her ha. If she knows english, then you can communicate (obviously).
Make dua and really talk with your parents about why they want what they want, and what you want.
I dont know you, so what I am saying is general. That one can import a wife, and nothing wrong with that, but then that leaves the sisters in the US with even less. There was a course a friend of mine attended and this topic came up about importing spouses. Then that made me wonder, what happens to all the potential husbands in Pak when the ladies are being imported.
I talked with 3 pukthun genayko.. one is married to a pukhtun raised in Pak, the other two are married to urdu speaking and a punjabi guy who was raised in the US.
The one married to the pukhtun guy says the fact that he is pukhtun and knows pashto does not make much difference as far as communicating with family etc. Her immediate family knows english, so even if he didn't know pashto, he would have still been able to communicate with them. Extended family, yes pashto is needed, but most of the time the conversations aren't that deep, mostly how are you and how are things going etc.. She says if the conversation was more intense, they would probably speak in Urdu instead. As far as her talking with his extended family, the same thing, knowing basic pashto is usually enough to communicate. his immediate family knows enlglish and urdu, so if she didnt know pashto, again it would not have halted any communication.
So her advice is, do not reject someone just because they are not pukhtun or speaking pashto. We had this discussion in this thread, I wanted to give her perspective on the language. And yes, first there are not many good guys, and then of them filtering out the pakhtun ones are going to limit things greatly.
As for culture, that will depend. If you plan on living in the US, most families here , whether urdu speaking or punjabi, usually the second generation have more of a pak/us culture and way. If you are going to live in Pakistan, then yes, the difference between pashto and non pashto is more pronounced.
then the ones married to american pak non pashto, same thing. they don't feel like they are separated from their family, language and culture. they also don't visit Pakistan much, so maybe that makes a difference.
Two boys are playing hockey on a pond in a Chicago Park when a crazed Rottweiler suddenly attacks one of the boys. Thinking quickly, the other boy takes his hockey stick, shoves it under the dog's collar, twists it and breaks the dog's neck, saving his friend.
A reporter is standing by, sees the incident, and rushes over to interview the boy.
"Young Cub Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook. But I'm not a Cubs fan," the little boy replies. "Sorry, but since we're in Chicago, I just assumed you were," says the reporter and starts writing again.
"Sox Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack," he writes in his notebook. "But I'm not a Sox fan either," the little boy replies. "Sorry, but since we're in Chicago, I just assumed you were," says the reporter and starts writing a gain.
"Bears Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Attack," he writes in his notebook. I'm not a Bears fan either," says the boy. "Oh... I assumed everyone in Chicago was either for the Cubs, Sox or Bears. What team do you root for?" the reporter asked.
"I'm a Colts fan," the boy replies. The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes:
"Little Bas***d From Indiana Kills Beloved Family Pet"
If you're son i've already given you my tribe...it's musakhel...so tell me do you even know who the founders of your khel were ?.

Right on bro, I'm from the same tribe (father's side) and my mom's side is bangash. You're right, a lot of the people in here aren't real pasthuns/pathans but half-breeds or even less. They think that speaking Pashto is equivalent to being a Pukthun/Pathan whatever.

Khana der kwand ba auke let me know if you are heading this way
Khalila, I don't think that Talib's comments were for you.
By the way, I might be headed to WA this June INSHALLAH for a few days for an exam, but not sure yet, could be CA instead.
Wae chindakh ghairat okoo, no tha truck da landi raghlo.

Are you talking to me? If so, I was quoting Pactaraya and agreeing with some of his post.
If you're son i've already given you my tribe...it's musakhel...so tell me do you even know who the founders of your khel were ?.
