How can Afghanistan develope, prosper?

[Saleh]

Does being landlocked really inhibit a country from prosperity and developement?

Has the developement of the country been hindred because of Multi ethnic/lingual/cultural Landscape of the nation (a lack of unity and a common goal)?

Is the prosperity/developement hindered by External Force(s)?



The country has been in what can be described as a war for 4 decades, 40 years of pretty much stagnation.

How will future Afghanistan landscape Look like in say 20-50 years from now? Same on going Problems, struggles?

afghanistan is not a real country

it is just an artificial nation created by British and Russian empires as just a buffer zone

the "true" Afghanistan is the Pashtun majority South and i assume alot of the FATA region . Tajiks, Uzbecks and Hazaras are not considered afghans. Afghan means Pashtuns and ONLY Pashtun people.

even the FATA region seemed that it wasn't always Pasthun. I hearing rumors that alot of dardic peoples used to be in FATA, so and so.


Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa was once hindkowan dominated since the 1600's and Hindko speaking Punjabis were the majority of Peshawar even as late as 1980's.

Hindko speaking punjabis also were present in ancient Kabul and Jalalabad.
so Afghans coming from the kabul -jalalabad corrider have darker skin because that land used to be an indian buddhist-hindu kingdom until mahmud ghaznavi sacked it.


The descendents of ancient Ghandhara are hindko people. Not Pashtuns. Pashtuns are invadors.

Neither is India. There were never any Indian state before 1947. Hindustan was basically name given by Persians to the region in Pakistan called Sindh. So basically your country's name and entire history is based off Pakistan's Sindh procince.

Gandharans were not Indics. i have seen their statues. They Look too white/caucasoid to be Indic or Indian. the avarage North Indians is Australoid looking.




From geography this make sense too, location of Gandhara:



Gandhara was closer to Central Asian than South Asia

You are very wrong. India existed for 1000s of years before 1947. Its the name of a region, doesnt matter its called Hindustan, India or what not. Gandharans were Indics. We know it from their language.

[Elite Pakhtun]

Lack of stability and peace is the cause of it's condition.

Afghans need to put their focus on development, education, security, and economic growth.

India did not exist. its like when Greeks/Romans called North Africa for "Africa" and eventuelly whole continent got named Africa.

We know what South Asia there were some Mini kingdoms scattered all over the place. No unified state covering all of India existed prior to the British colony "India". Except some empires built by outside conquerors.

India is a fake nation, more fake than others. You have 3000 languages, millions of different races and tribes. Even Punjabi is not a race or ethnicity. most of its history is shaped by populations that are not compatible with the modern day Indian.

Gandharans were Buddists and Zoroastrian btw. They were Caucasoid, probably lightskinned, and looked similar to Pashtuns and other caucasoid mountain races in the region.

[Shapur]

Afghanistan will develop and prosper when it is meant to.

Afghans need to be left on their own. Too many do gooders have destroyed the world.

[Baserka]

By spelling develop without an e at the end.

[Nurzai]

Who cares? As long as you are Pashtun you can develop anywhere in the world by force haha XD

hardly, Afghanistan was in Crossroads of South Asia, Orient, Central Asia and Middle East. it was in center of Silk road and very rich and prosperus nation thats why Scythians and Kushans decided to settle here, not India or Iran.


yes we were invaded many times but those invaders brought their new culture to our land and we all benefited greatly from that.

India is land of Dravidian with Aryan Invaders at the top.India is as fake as Pakistan or Afghanistan is. all Multi ethnic nations are fake.

and Gandharans were Hindkos we Iranic Pashtuns have nothing to do with these Dravidians.

do you want those Gangadesi and Dravidas from kolkata and Madras say pashtuns are Indians based on Gandhara ? they are already doing that all over Internet.

Seal the border. India = Indic = East of India and Hindus of Eastern Afghanistan.

Afghanistan = Iranic = West of Indus and Iranics of Punjab. (Kamboh and Pashtun colonies)

Turks, Hazara = Central Asia = Kick em out of Afghanistan and allow karlanis to resettle in their ancestral homeland in Afghanistan to avoid half breeding in KPK.

Afghanistan does have history, but for tourism it has very little to offer. Being land locked and very dry hot in summer and very cold in winter is a downside. It doesn't have any beautiful tropical beaches like india for example, nor greenery like india or even Pakistan

That is some next level cuckholdery right there

It's another Killzai alt. Dude needs to find something to do with his life.

Theoretically, if Afghanistan really wanted to have a good future with prosperity and development, it would vote to be annexed by either Iran or Pakistan. Perhaps Afghanistan could be split with Herat and the Tajik/Persian, Hazara areas going to Iran and the Pashtun areas in the south and east going to Pakistan.

But I suppose Afghans would never even consider such a proposition, even if it was ultimately in their best interests in terms of prosperity and development. Pride is often an obstacle to many things which are actually good for people.

I think Afghans and Pashtuns in particular cannot stomach the fact that the "Indic" people whom they ruled over and conquered many times are now in a stronger position than them, and that majority of Pashtuns in the world are now ruled from Rawalpindi/Islamabad. This I have realized is the reason for the bitterness and enmity some Pashtuns have toward Pakistan and Punjabis in particular.

It is the same kind of bitterness and resentment Arabs have toward Jews. Arabs were used to Jews being weak people for centuries, now all of a sudden Jews are a superpower with a mighty state like Israel, whereas Arabs are dejected, weak and humiliated. Same thing with Pashtuns, they cannot get over the fact that "Indic" Muslims now have their own state (Pakistan) which is actually ruling over the majority of their people.

I say it is time for Pashtuns to stop the nostalgia for their supposed past glories and think about the present and future. Always romanticizing about the past while ignoring the future needs is a sign of a nation that is defeated and dejected.
