High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Pakhtunkhwa, et al. means near the Pakhtuns or Pashtuns. The nationalist Pashtuns claim Pakhtunkhwa is an old name of the area inhabited by Pashtuns. But in fact Pashtun leader Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (Bacha Khan) proposed this name as alternative to Pakhtunistan to military dictator Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in 1978 when the latter refused to accept the demand from the former to rename the NWFP as Pashtunistan. Greek historian Herodotus had recorded it as Paktia, but Pakhto poets from the time of Shahabuddin Muhammad Ghori down to the present age, have been mentioning it as Pakhtunkhwa.
