'Aye mere pyaare watan,' the song by Manna Dey in the film Kabuliwala, picturised on Balraj Sahni looking forlorn in a land far away from his country, is among the finest and fondest renditions of the ethos of the upright noble, loyal, affectionate, emotional Pathans from Afghanistan. Over the years, given the changing geopolitical alignments, no doubt, the Afghan in Indian cinema’s collective imagination has crystallised into someone very different from the virtuous one in Kabuliwala, or even the gentleman Pathan villain Sher Khan, immortalised by Pran in the film Zanjeer.
