Ethnic fault-lines of Pakistan: A Study of Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM)
The idea of ethnicity suggests a sense of communal identity within a particular society. The complex blend of racial, cultural, and historical traits used to distinguish individuals from other groups. Since Pakistan's independence, there have been numerous ebbs and flows in terms of ethnic nationalism in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces that have a serious influence on the solidarity, integration, and unityof the state. Such conflict still exists today. Additionally, since the beginning, governmental and non-governmental entities have persevered in fostering a favorable environment. The government's participation, meanwhile, has not been as effective as it could havebeen. Additionally, from 2000 to 2022,.The flaws of the governments, societies, and elites of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan must also be evaluated severely. In addition, sensible suggestions must be made in order to kill evil in the bud and ensure Pakistan's existence.
