Pashtunwali is predominantly practiced in areas where Pashtuns are the majority, particularly in the Pashtun-dominated regions. Its origins can be traced back to ancient pre-Islamic times, reflecting a rich heritage that has been preserved through generations. Core tenets of Pashtunwali include '''hospitality''' (melmastia), '''asylum''' (nanawatai), and '''justice''' (badal), which emphasise loyalty, respect, and the protection of one’s community and family. | Pashtunwali is predominantly practiced in areas where Pashtuns are the majority, particularly in the Pashtun-dominated regions.
