On July 10, 2015, some of the most illustrious and high achieving Pakhtuns were given a grand tribute by Twitteratis. People on twitter, like minstrels, were praising the heroics and prowess of Pakhtuns as they trended the hashtag #FakhrePakhtoon. It was heartening to see the amalgamation of tradition, bravado, and literature meeting technology, peace and education. Young technology and education activists received as much praise similar to the likes of Bacha Khan, Khushal Khan Khattak, Ghani Khan and Rehman Baba. It turned out to be a refreshing break from the myopic depiction of Pakhtuns in both national and international media. Young Pakhtuns posted updates showing that Pakhtuns are not just about guns and violence but love, peace, poetry, technology, innovation and art as well. Here are some highlights from #FakhrePakhtoon: https://twitter.com/JavedAzizKhan/status/619612934751170561 https://twitter.com/MahmoodK69/status/619647593606443008 https://twitter.com/ZalmayX/status/619638310563094528 https://twitter.com/Wasim_Wazir/status/619635527612919808 https://twitter.com/SangeenKhan/status/619609702091984896 https://twitter.com/PukhtunkhwaPics/status/619607056073396224 https://twitter.com/ShafeeqGigyani/status/619605248085131264 https://twitter.com/Khushal_Khattak/status/619621954425716737 https://twitter.com/PukhtunkhwaPics/status/619596880255696896 https://twitter.com/ShafeeqGigyani/status/619583152864923649 https://twitter.com/Uzairktk/status/619833470559354880?s=09 https://twitter.com/ShafeeqGigyani/status/619595365826715648 https://twitter.com/AbidAtozai/status/619582971096338432 https://twitter.com/RaufAbdur/status/619636415098257408 https://twitter.com/Afridi93/status/619497513444192257 https://twitter.com/Humauu/status/619722608821432320 https://twitter.com/Chagharzee/status/619822944911384576 And lastly, every Pakhtun who has achieved something for Pakistan: https://twitter.com/Wasim_Wazir/status/619637949701840896
