THE PHOTO FOR AYUB KHAN AND YAHA KHAN IS THE SAME. SEE THAT ARTICLE. I DONT KNOW WHICH ONE IS CORRECT. PLEASE CHANGE!!! --203.197.115.38 05:32, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. That seems to have been fixed now. Walkerma 21:05, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
I've reverted in order to remove 172.166.119.221's addition: “Ayub plainly regretted ever calling elections in the first place. For after six years of insisting that Pakistanis were not ready for democracy, the campaign had shown that Mohammed Ayub Khan probably wasn't either.” What's plainly true to one person won't be to another; is there any evidence for this regret? Similarly for Khan's lack of preparedness? Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:15, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Paragraph needs work.
In the last paragraph of the section on th71.139.2.186 (talk) 04:05, 29 June 2008 (UTC)e 1965 war, the first sentence ("These were the years when Pakistan in 1963 imprudently all ...") doesn't make sense, and the rest of the paragraph needs work in general.Dcheng 03:28, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- I have edited the first sentence of that paragraph with the information which i have. But i can't find any other mistake like that in the rest of the paragraph.Sarmad (talk) 13:06, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Disputed Ayub is a Pashtun
I dont know who is writing this article but ayub khan was a proud pashtun not a hindko, maybe he was a hindko but hindkos are pashtuns loool. his parents were pashtuns, He spoke pashto, he grew up with pashtuns but at the end was labeled a hindko loool. the article must be written back to him being Pashtun and is noted in the history books as a pashtun. What more evidence???71.139.34.11 (talk) 05:29, 3 March 2008 (UTC)Pashtun786
LOL at the above comment. You are welcome to check on from even his family, they dont speak in Pashtu, they speak in Hindko and belong from the Haripur District of Hazara Division. And Ayub Khan himself also talked in Hindko not pashtu, he might be knowing it as a secondary language but his language was Hindko, and that is not disputed.Wikitanoli (talk) 06:31, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Confuse... and somehow hagiographic
That’s what I find about the article in its current version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.52.232.106 (talk) 07:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
_________________________________________________________________ AYUB KHAN IS PASHTUN Ayub Khan is definetly Pashtun spoke pashto not Hindko, its seems that every person that is pashtun is some how a Hindko nowadays, maybe they dont want to give pashtuns full credit, they attached Hindko to show that hindko also claim him and they should get credit. Plus Hindko's are pashtuns. 71.139.2.186 (talk) 04:05, 29 June 2008 (UTC)Pashtun786
Ayub Khan was Pushtun
Ayub Khan was a pushtun, given the fact that he was from a pushtun tribe called Tareen. But you are wrong at one place.
You are WRONG to call all Hindkowans as Pushtuns. I am offended by this call being a Hashmi
I feel that it will not be wrong to call Ayub Khan a Hindkowan of Pushtun origin as he was from a Hazara and his family speak Hindko. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.131.166.20 (talk) 12:19, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
I agree with the last commentator that Hindko is a language not an ethnic group. Ayub Khan was a tareen and as such a Pashtun. Secondly, Hindkowan is a term that was devised for Peshawaris of Kharay group who are by and large Awans and it does not sit very well with Hazara region's tribes as many of those speak both Hindko and Pushto while others speak either Pashto or Hindko but cannot be called Hindkowans as majority are Pashtuns. Whatever they may speak now the Pashtuns of Hazara were speaking Pushto until quite recently. Nobody can say the Swatis, Jadoon, Tahirkhels, Utmanzais, Tanwalis etc. do not/did not speak Pashto.
There is misconception about the origins of Awans . Awans have arab origins they are decsendants of Qutb Shah(Aun ibn Yeila) , who was hashemite decendant of Hazarat Ali(RA).Awans are not decendants of Qutbuddin . There are many groups of people of turk, persian and indian origins who call themselves as Awans like the many hindki speaking people of Peshawar and bannu.Real Awans are living dominantly in areas like Mianwali , Khushab , Chakwal , Attock , Rawalpindi , Sudhanoti district of azad kashmir , Kohat , Mardan (Sawal dher village).If you compare Awans of these areas mentioned above with the awans of bannu , and peshawar there is a big difference The awans of hindko community of peshawar and bannu have dark skin , short in height while the awans of above mentioned areas are tall have fair skin and have strong physique.According to genetics Awans of above mentioned areas have arab origin but awans of hinko community of bannu , peshawar have different origins they have mix origins of Afghans(turks) , uzbeks and jatts , they are not real awans but show themselves as awans , like many mughal they often show themselves as Pathans and some rajputs claims to be of persian origins and arab origins also like khokhar rajput , Chauhan rajput and khattar rajput they also claim ancestry from qutb shah. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.47.12.219 (talk) 05:42, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Grammar + POV
there's a lot of grammatical errors that i couldnt go through and fix right now, also the point of views throughout the biography section, and the other sections could use some cleaning up.
You mean 'There are a lot of grammatical errors...' - the word errors is plural so you must predicate it as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moarrikh (talk • contribs) 13:54, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Ayub Khan's Ethnic Descent
Dear Wikipedia, I keep editing out the Category 'Pashtun people' and adding 'Pakistani people of Afghan descent', which is more accurate, but this first is added again and my entry deleted. I must please request some neutral Wiki overseer to kindly make an honest assessment -- according to every exisiting record Ayub Khan was a 'Hindkowan' Tareen, a Hindko speaker of Afghan descent/origin, whose elders had settled in Haripur area of Hazara division, now in Pakistan, during the 18th century. Even the old British military/army establishment classified such ethnic stock as 'Hazarawals and Hazarawal-Pushtuns' and not as Pathans/Pushtuns per se. You are very welcome to check this out and confirm. Like all such settlers, who have Pushtun/Afghan origins but might not be classified as 'Pashtuns' in the strictest sense today, the natural and most suitable classification or category here seems to be 'Pakistani (or Indian) people of Afghan descent'. Id be grateful if this change is duly implemented, thank you. 39.54.242.79 (talk) 13:30, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Dr HP Gupta
I basically dispite this, please, and would request a proper resolution thanks 39.54.242.79 (talk) 13:32, 11 March 2012 (UTC) HP Gupta
- Hi, I am neutral with respect to this but I removed the category as no source was given. Please give a reliable source which states that he is from Afghan decent and probably mention it in the article so that this can be classified under that category. If you have sources, you're free to make the edit. --lTopGunl (talk) 13:35, 11 March 2012 (UTC)]

- I only want you to comply with Wikipedia policies namely WP:BURDEN is on the person who wants to add that information in the article and not on me so please provide a reliable source which clearly mentions her as Queen of Pakistan and i would not have any problem if you add that title for her and that would settle the matter.

Okay, the man was a serious buffoon. All the article does is glorify him as if he was some pro-American angel. Whereas he actually considered declaring Pakistan a monarchy. -Rainmaker23 (talk) 01:07, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
