Code of Ethics

The Pashtuns are an Iranic ethnic group living in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They are typically characterized by the usage of the Eastern Iranian Pashto language and practice of Pashtunwali, which is a traditional set of ethics guiding individual and communal conduct. Their origins are unclear.

The Pushtun heartland extends along the eastern and southern Afghanistan border, from Nuristan in the north down to the southern provinces around Qandahar. Almost every province of Afghanistan has Pashutns living in it.

Pushtuns can be identified by three major traits: their language (Pashto); their lineage (they consider themselves descended from one founding ancestor); and their code of honor, called pushtunwali. It is a legal and moral code covering issues of honor (namuz), solidarity (nang), hospitality (melmastai), and shame and revenge (badal). "For a Pushtun, the defense of namuz, even unto death, is required,"

"I am a Pushtun first, a Muslim second, and an Afghan third, but Afghanistan is and will always be land of Pashutns." a quote which is used by almost all Pashtuns.

In "The Kite Runner," the Hazaras are an ethnic group in Afghanistan who are marginalized and discriminated against by the dominant Pashtun group. Hassan, the main Hazara character, serves as a loyal friend and servant to the protagonist, Amir. Throughout the novel, the Hazaras face violence, oppression, and social injustice in Afghan society.
