In Pakistan and India, Pathan is widely used.
But the term has a slightly different social meaning.
In many contexts it refers to:
-
Pashtun ancestry
-
often migrated families outside Pashto-speaking regions
For example:
-
Pathans in Karachi
-
Pathans in Punjab
-
Pathans in India (UP, Bihar, Hyderabad)
Many of these communities no longer speak Pashto, yet retain:
-
surnames like Khan
-
tribal claims
-
cultural memory.
