    Kabul (BNA) Acting minister for information and culture Mr. Nabi Farahi and the deputy for the ministry Sayed Musadiq Khalili inaugurated the work for the repairmen of 10 historic monuments in Ghazni yesterday in the presence of Ghazni governor Musa Khan Akbarzada.

    Farahi said adding the project would cost more than 3 million US dollars.

    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!

    -Ferishta, 1560–1620

    During the First Anglo-Afghan War, Ghazni was stormed and taken over by the British forces on July 23, 1839 in the Battle of Ghazni. The British let loose a free for all destruction of Ghazni. Even the mausoleums of Afghan monarchs were not spared. The mausoleum of Sultan Mahmud of Somnath fame was destroyed. The marble covering of his grave with Quranic verses engraved was carried all the way to Hindustan. The new Gov General Lord Ellenborough had this particular piece paraded all over India proclaiming to the Hindus that at last the destruction of their temples by the Muslims have been avenged.
