I can’t figure out if it’s Afghan (maybe hazara?) or irani
I’ve been trying to look for it for ages but not getting anywhere🥲

I’m an ethnic Kashmiri who’s been living in Australia practically my entire life. I’ve been learning Farsi/Dari for a short while now, because I have many Afghan friends, and I find the language quite beautiful. I was just wondering if anyone could engage in discussion about the culture, or educate me, because I’m very curious!! I’m 16m.

I’m curious about gold mining in Badakhshan, Afghanistan. How much do miners typically earn, what does a normal workday look like, and how dangerous is the job?
Does it provide enough income to support a family?

Hi everyone, i am from Pakistan and I am strictly against war(pacifist) I hope even if our governments fight people would make up peace I love my my afghan brothers I am deeply sorry for afghanis who are abducted from Pakistan, our nation has failed us and failed you.

I'm currently working on a personal project where I'm listening to one album from every country in the world and documenting my journey on Instagram.

I'd love to hear your recommendations for one album that you think best represents. It doesn't have to be the most famous—it could be a classic, an influential record, a hidden gem, or simply your personal favourite.

I'm open to any genre, whether that's rock, hip-hop, folk, jazz, electronic, metal, pop, traditional music, or anything else.

I am starting to tutor girls in Afghanistan through an online organization and I already have my first student! We are yet to have a class together but I was wondering if there is anything I need to be aware of. Something I might need to be ready to see or hear from her, or something I should avoid saying or showing to her?
Thank you!

Turkey has intensified its crackdown on undocumented migrants and human smugglers, arresting around 70,000 people during the first six months of the year, according to the country's Directorate of Migration Management.

Officials said 19,574 Afghan nationals were among those detained, while more than 6,000 suspected human smugglers were also arrested.

According to UN data, more than 13,000 Afghan nationals were deported from Türkiye during the first five months of the year, even as attempts to use the country as a transit route to Europe continue. Crazy 😢

Something I’ve noticed is that ppl from Tajikistan have more noticeable asian/turkic features but afghan Tajiks look middle eastern or south Asian. As a kid I remember going to school with 2 girls from Tajikistan and they could totally pass as an Uzbek or hazara.

How are you feeling? Do you still have hope for Afghanistan? What do your relatives think of the situation?

Hi everyone, i'm an avid music listener and artists like Habib Qaderi or Nasrat Parsa are some of my favourites. I have been looking for a while on where i can find some of their physical albums, and i've seen places such as Discogs that have them listed, but rarely ever for sale. If there is a website or shop i haven't found that you guys are aware of, i would love to know.

For anyone who thinks there is any hope for Afg look at this chart

Kandhar has 1.4-1.9 million people 600k go to these madrassas to basically become Taliban what do you think the country will look like in 10-20 years?

Lina Rozbih @LinaRozbih · 6h Translated from Persian These girls, in the cemetery... bury a list of their dead dreams that fell victim to the betrayals and political deals of that land and came to an end..

Or perhaps they inscribe the horrific tale of the ruinous fate of the women and girls of Afghanistan in the darkest country in the world for women, so that it may not be forgotten!

These girls, in the cemetery.. come to believe in becoming the dead!..

In the fact that their gender consists of walking corpses who are now, by the millions, taken captive and imprisoned by men under the decree of a handful of terrorists, and the men of this society, free and autonomous, will either force them into marriage, or from a starving family, buy them for less than the price of a sheep, or fall prey to other male desires of this society held hostage by the terror of terrorists... they will be killed, they will be raped, or if they are fortunate, their ears and noses will be cut off and they will rot away wretchedly in a corner of the house!

These girls are familiar with the cemetery... they speak with the dead... because for five years now, they themselves have been buried alive in a cemetery called Afghanistan, with no rights except the right to breathe!

And the fortunate ones in this calculation are the dead of this cemetery who no longer breathe and feel no pain!

I was born and raised in Wales, UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 my father hails from a village called Ghourghushti in Attock, Pakistan. My mother was also born in Wales but her parents came from the same village. I would love to know more about my heritage/ancestry, and a few general questions. So far I have a very limited understanding, and have found it hard to source information but what I do know is that the tribe I belong to is the Malak tribe (also known as Dilawar khel). I understand that this makes me Pashtun, and that my ancestors came from somewhere in Afghanistan. The thing is, growing up I thought Pakistanis and Afghans were as close as could be, but now I have come to an understanding that they despise each other. Forgive my ignorance, but why is this? I only know about some silly border disputes. Even my own father talks down on Afghans in Pakistan, and said it was good that the Pakistani government was kicking them out, which shocked me to hear as i thought he may have forgotten his roots. On a lot of social media posts I see Afghans saying that only Afghans can be Pashtun, so does that make me an Afghan? I am not particularly tied to any country or identity so it would not bother me, as long as I can learn and understand! My late grandfather said that we have a giant book of ancestry somewhere in Afghanistan and it pains me to think that I might never get to see it. Some physical descriptors of me and my family: I am quite tall, 6’5 in stature. I have olive skin and green eyes. My father also has green eyes, as does his father. My grandma’s eyes are grey/blue, they all have olive toned skin.

I apologise if this post was a little messy, I have a lot of questions and often wonder about my ancestry, and I would appreciate any help!

TL;DR
ancestry/origin of Dilawar khel/malak tribe (any info appreciated)
What type of Pashtun am I?
Why do Pakistanis and Afghans hate each other
Where can I learn Pashto?

Hey all lately I have been seeing a lot of initiatives on social media that seek to connect people with academic knowledge to afghan girls to help them continue their education. However upon messaging or investigation none of them have seemed legit or like they are actually doing the work they claim.

I wonder if there is a legit organization or project that connects people in various fields of knowledge with afghan girls in need of education, whether directly or through a platform.

I speak around 6 languages and am currently getting my doctorate to hopefully become a university professor, and i graduated with honours at every part of my education. I’m not sure if this is enough as I am not yet a certified teacher nor have I studied education, but as I am right now in a tight financial spot (because of the doctorate studies which dont come cheap nor allow for a lot of outside work) I find it hard to support financially.

Appreciate it guys!!

Hi everyone.
Over the past few years, the world has heard many stories about Afghanistan:stories of conflict, displacement, and people forced to leave their homes. But I worry that, in the middle of all that, the world sometimes forgets something just as important: the culture, traditions, and everyday moments that actually make a home feel like HOME.For most of us, one of those things is food.
A family recipe isn't just a list of ingredients.Instead,It's something passed down from generations to generations . It's memories of celebrations, comfort during difficult times, and a connection to the place where a family came from.
I'm creating a Recipe Book with traditional recipes of families to help preserve their stories through food. If you or your family have been displaced from Afghanistan and would be willing to share, I would be honored to include your family's recipe and its story.
I'd love to hear:
1)A favorite family recipe
2)The story behind the dish
3)Any memories or traditions connected to it
4)Anything you'd like others to know about Afghan culture through this meal
You can remain completely anonymous if you'd like!
My hope is that, years from now, people won't only remember the hardships Afghans have endured,they'll also remember the incredible culture, hospitality, and traditions that deserve to live on.
Thank you for reading. ❤️
