I missed this last year, but seem the Balochi's of Balochistan have changed the name of Pakistan's NWFP in April 2010. For the first time in history, the Pakhtoons of Pakistan are truly celebrating the joy of their identity’s recognition by Pakistan. It took decades of perseverance and an unfailing pursuit of identity that finally led to the victory the name changed of NWFP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_West_Frontier_(disambiguation))to ‘Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khyber_Pakhtunkhwa)’. Starting with the great nationalist and humanist Khan Abdul Ghafar Khan through all the political machination, polemical conflicts, and terrorism, the Pakhtoon nation has finally achieved a goal they can be proud of under their representative leadership The Awami National Party. This victory is, however, just the starting point towards a greater provincial autonomy, in my option, has provided an opportunity for the Taliban and other extremist groups to expand their activities and influence in Pakistan’s North-West Frontier Province (NWFP). This has made many IMO think twice about the Border areas of Pakistan. Yes this is a Pakistani political move, but there is deeper ties in this new "LAW".
