| #1 The Sikh Empire under Ranjit Singh had no problem subjugating the Pashtun. Peshawar and other Pashtun cities are part of Pakistan now because they were under Sikh control when the British defeated them. Today Sikhs boast that Pashtun men wear "Salwar Kameez", the dress traditionally used by women because of an edict of General Hari Singh Nalwa who forbade the Pashtun men to go outside their homes unless so dressed. |
