So this famous saying in the Rambo III movie is not an invention by some Hollywood writer. It is based on an old proverb from India.

@Pashz7 @NafeesRehmanDr افغان معصوم لوگوں کو اس قسم کے پروپیگنڈہ نے سب سے زیادہ نقصان پہنچایا ہے۔ دہائیوں سے معصوم اور بے گناہ افغانی مر رہے ہیں اور افغانی ایلیٹ میں جو لوگ اوپر آرہے وہ اپنا پیٹ بھر رہے ہیں۔ ان معصوموں کا بدلہ تو دور کی بات کسی کو نام بھی یاد نہیں۔ گذشتہ چالیس سال کا حساب لگائیں ++

@Pashz7 Never heard of this in indian movies, but there's many references to Pathans' loyalty and how a pathan respects friendship and will go any length to protect the friendship. One of the most famous movie with a pathan in central character is Zanjeer from 1973.

@Pashz7 I feel in modern warfare Pathans are the only ppl who have maintained their chivalric nature as a community.
