“In each of these, there was initial turmoil. In some cases, mass migration and bloodshed had followed. But after the first few bitter months, people settled down to make new lives. Only the Pashtuns have remained unreconciled. Is it because the Pashtuns were, and are, poor? As Henry Miller said in the American context, ‘We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it, it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it, it means danger, revolution and anarchy.â€� Alas, fate has handed the Pashtuns a poor flag.”
