  • Afghans win Karate Tournament


    Yesterday, Afghan karate fans joined by members of parliament, 2 governors, and a delegation from the National Olympic Committee welcomed Afghanistan’s national karate team at the airport as they returned home from South Africa, reported Pajhwok Afghan News (PAN) today. The team had participated in an international event, where teams from 35 different countries were present. According to the report, Afghanistan came in first, followed by Zambia and then South Africa. The PAN report did not mention if it was in a particular category. Ghulam Jilani Ghroob, head of the Karate Federation told PAN that Wahid Joya, Farid Agha Doorandish, Mubariz Hakimzada, Ezatullah Kalakani and Ali Asghar Muddaris won gold medals in the competition. Moreover, according to the report, four silver and six bronze medals were also won by the members of the team.

    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!
