To the Editor:
All Afghans are members of minority communities. At forty percent of the population, the Pashtuns are the biggest group, but that just makes them the largest minority community among many in the country. The threat is not that minority groups will be oppressed by a majority. Rather, it is that the Taliban would again impose their particular Pashtun mores and culture on the nation. After forty years of war, if we are to speak of a majority in Afghanistan, we should be looking at her women.
