When Mauryas and Shahis from India ruled it. Rare era of peace and development.

[Shamlawar Khurasani]

The greatest era was the one where non-Pashtun wannabes weren't claiming to be Pashtuns and fabricate their own history.

The term used for medieval Afghanistan was "Roh", big chunk of which was in nowadays Pakistan, and all the chroniclers have described it to be a tract inhabited by independent and unruly tribes some of which settled along the passes, would loot caravans and harass the armies passing through it. It was wild wild west and there were no kings, no governors or administrators etc there . What are the reasons on the basis of which we assign greatness to any era in "Roh"?......About very ancient kingdoms, we do not have sufficient details.......and Pashtun themselves did not record any thing in early medieval period. Kabulistan was the only province of Mughal empire which was huge burden on treasury of Mughal empire, evident from Mughal revenue records.........as bulk of the Kabulistan was made of Pashtun "sarkars" , and with the exception of Peshawar, none of it was paying taxes or tributes or were paying nominal tribute of few dozens sheeps.

Ahmad Shah Abdali was a great military leader, but nothing else is spectacular about his tribal empire........He was not of caliber of Alaudin Khilji , Sikander Lodi or Sher Shah who did some great works for the welfare of their hindustani subjects, were strong administrators and kept peace with their great military strengths........Abdali's helplessness can be observed in his attempt of administering Punjab which was suffering due to activities of Sikh bands who were pillaging around. First he tried to rule it indirectly through local Mughal governors and was expecting an annual tribute. This failed and one of Punjabi governor invited Marathas to occupy Punjab.. After Panipat, he attempted to rule it directly through his Afghan viceroys and governors, who sucked in administration and did not have sufficient grip on local affairs and knowledge of Punjab, and did not have sufficient forces to crush Sikhs. Abdali had to rush to Punjab himself each and every time on deterioration of situation.....he spent most of his career in military encampments, he left no legacy of strong administration or state building.

I have some feel for my 1/32 Tajik side, so for me Bactrian kingdom era...most treasures and antique archeologic stuff that has been found and uncovered in Afghanistan was from Bactrian kingdom...this is pre Greco-Bactrian era...before the Persians annexed the region and it became a satrapy of Achaemenian Empire.

Bangladesh is an extension of Afghanistan and our history should be included.
Greatest era was when the Pakhtuns of Bangladesh created the Suri Empire mashallah those days will return.

Sher Shah, as a ruler of Bihar, "conquered" Bengal. While Sasaram in Bihar (where he is buried) was home for Sher Shah, he had no such attachment to Bengal.

Wrong Brother; Sher Shah was actually returning home to embrace his true origins with the Talukhdar-zai clan.

in 632 B.C. Khwaja Dal-Bakht Qasim Mirajul Rahman Khan, already a Muslim forseeing the coming of Our Noble Prophet (saw) a thousand years ahead took a short cut through the Himalaya Mountains. There he settled 10,000 families from Bengal into Kandahar, it from these that the Pashtuns flourished as we see them today.

Upon She Shah's arrival in Bengal there was a special surprise party waiting for him and a giant banner at the Gates of Kolkatta which said "WELCOME HOME!!!!!" in Pure Bengali Pashto. The Talukhdar-zai clan still has digital video of this event.

Wrong, Sher Shah Suri was fake pathan from Bihar. His decendents claimed to be pathan because being foreign muslim was cool thing back then.

There are still many hindu suris in Bihar to this day



Not sure why bongo like Talukdarzai claim to be son of Sher Shah Suri.

Early Islamic era and the PF era...the amount of wannabe Pashtuns being exposed here should be considered a historic achievement.

Early Islamic and Greco-Bactrian. It was even said that the half the roads in the old world led to Damascus and the other to Bagram.

But I dont think we can count that as something Afghan or even claim them to be our ancestors...I need proof for Greco Bactrian kingdom being related to us Pashtuns....

I am cringing so hard. So you want to develop a counter white man culture by emulating the euro white man.
