Musafira's creativity is unmatched.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!

It's the cutest name there is man. I'll teach my sons to call their wives 'nawaki' and 'nazawali'. The wives will never leave them because those are the cutest nicknames you can possibly give a girl. It's gonna be a blast.

There once used to be a group of Americans that ran an NGO in Lashkargah and started all this doll thing in the 60s. The locals would make them and then with the help of the NGO send it to the west, they had a little economy going for the local women there....The American that started is still alive...
Not sure if this has anything to do with it?Comment

Oh and they were all American women that were NOT affiliated with any church!!!!Comment
