Afghanistan - evokes images of war, cruel muslim fundamentalists and
lonely mountains. A large portion of its population is still in refugee status in Iran,
Pakistan and India. Afghani people have a very ancient relation with India and despite
their rough and rugged appearance, there are some very sophisticated people out there.There
is a large community of Afghani peope in India and they are accepted as friendly people.
It's a tragedy that this country has been in such a great disaster. Indian people have
always extended a hand of friendship to the people of Afghanistan and will keep doing so.
Since times immerial Afghanistan has been the first place for invadors of India. Most
foreign invasions in ancient times used to originate in Afghanistan...but now the
invasions are a prehistoric fact as the new invasions come in form of Television channels
via satellite.
Till 1970s there was a sizable Indian community there but since the breakout of war,
things have been pretty bad for them. This community was as much part of Afghanistan as
now Afghanis are part of India.
Hindustan Network wishes best to the people of Afghanistan, whereever they may reside
and they are welcome to join us as we share the same culture.
