Abstract
This article differentiates radicalization from the Pakhtuns ’cultural violence. This study investigated the inherent Pakhtuns’ violent cultural traits and the present-day radicalization in Pakhtun society. The study is qualitative in nature. The data collected through in-depth interviews the purposive sampling technique used to select the respondents. The data revealed that the Pakhtuns’ cultural violence has a different contextual explanation as compared to the present-day radicalization. The current radical trends such as bomb blasts and human slaughtering had not been part of Pakhtun culture. These radical trends have been diffused to Pakhtun society in the last three decades. It is immensely important to counter-radicalization through different lenses to differentiate it from Pakhtuns’ cultural violence
