A picture worth a thousand words eh?Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

Nations can go back in time, too. The granddaughters of these great women nowadays cannot even leave their house without a blue tent covering their bodies. They can only dream about primary education."If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be".
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives". -

Wow! It's almost impossible to believe that this was once how our Afghanistan was! Today, we can't even dream of letting women and men sitting in the same class together there! And their dresses? Daaaaaaaymm!
When exactly was this picture taken? If these people are alive today, they must be among those humans who've suffered to the extreme - since they've seen both the good and the bad of Afghanistan, both the free and the chained land they were educated in!Comment
