The Proud Of Pakhtune(Naswar)
A very common saying in Pakhtune society"che Naswar ne lare nu yar ne lare" means that the one who does not have or use Naswar dose not have a friend or mate. You can really feel the importance and use of Naswar in our culture. Many of you would be thinking what is Naswar so let me tell you that Naswar is a very famous source of addiction in Pakhtun society. Naswar is very much common in Pathans. Tobacco is the main ingredient of Naswar. It is dark green in color and taken through mouth but not swallowed . One take of Naswar is about 20 to 30 grams round ball that can intoxicate your mind in 2 to 3 minutes and then you can split out the Naswar ball. But despite having so much fascination in its use it is very much dangerous to health and regular use of Naswar can cause mouth cancer and other complications. Being a Pathan i would like to say that if you really want to enjoy the mentality of Pakhtunes you should at least once use Naswar in life. One thing more specially to the Pathans if you are Pathan and still not used Naswar ever in life so go get Naswar and use at least once . So be a Pathan and enjoy Naswar. By: Mr Mohammad Usman
