    Who should we be partners with? With Pakistan or with India and why.
    Pakistan has more mineral reserves than Afghanistan, especially if your talking about energy reserves (coal)..some 16 trillion US dollars worth of coal and thats just coal

    Anyways i think with the gwadar port opening it will provide a good oppurtunity to Afghanistan to get its good through to international market, also China is already "importing" goods from Afghanistan and 278 of these items have absolutely no duty on them

      I think as Pashtuns,it is our fundamental duty to make Pashto official in a practical manner through out all Afghanistan.The quest has begun,but still alot o hurdles to reach destination.
      That is true. But this is a major problem that requires an excessive though-process with logical reasoning. We can't drop Dari either since its also spoken by Pashtuns in many provinces. In fact, You can take it with a grain of salt but many Pashtuns chose Dari over Pashto unfortunately.

      Pashtuns are presently victims of exoneration in pretty much all provinces, So our first goal should be an image change.

      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 sounds crazy wrora but its actually true, i was pretty surprised when i found out too

                Dr Murtaza Mughal president of Pakistan Economy Watch in a statement said that these reserves of coal worth USD 25 trillion can not only cater the electricity requirements of the country for next 100 years but also save almost four billion dollars in staggering oil import bill.

                      According to the media, Many Baluchis want no part of Pakistan.
