Ironically enough today I met an Afghan Jew who was born in Italy but he is studying with me in the USA. Why he left Europe for the USA is beyond my comprehension but yes you all heard me loud and clear, I said an Afghan Jew. His Pashto was weak but he was born in Italy, nonetheless I gave him props for preserving his culture. I was on the phone and he just waited around the corner for me to pass by, he came up to me and said, "sta Pashto izda da?". He told me there are about 12 Afghan Jewish families in Italy, he argued that Italy has a lot of Persian Jews. I took his word for everything that left his mouth at that point.
It was the best feeling ever. Diversity at its best.
Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
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!
