This book explores Pashtunwali, the ancient and revered code of conduct embraced by the Pashtun people. Rooted in tradition and passed down through generations, this code encapsulates a set of ethical principles that govern various aspects of Pashtun life. One of its most prominent and cherished tenets is "Melmastia," a profound expression of hospitality that transcends mere politeness to embody a deep-seated respect for guests and a commitment to their well-being.
