    "Assumptions"

    "Assumptions"

    Some people when they see how modestly our women are dressed
    assume it's because they are being oppressed

    Some people when they read about the Taliban destroying schools
    assume that our people are all ignorant fools

    Some people when they see the endless unrest in our Pashtun lands
    assume it's because they see guns in our hands

    Some people profess to care that every day innocents are dying
    Who can blame me for assuming they are lying?

      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
