This is time in Pakhtun history where the prophetic verse of Ahmed Shah Baba is depicting the true contemporary picture of Afghans across the Durand line. پښتانه دي ټوله لاس سره يو کاندي
چي مو نن غزا هر لوري شا او خوا ده
We know that:
§ the religious cultists of Iran are interfering into the internal affairs of Afghanistan due to its sectarian stand in Politics
§ the Punjabis of Pakistan are occupying a major part of Afghan land and they are dreaming to conquer the rest of Afghanistan to make it their fifth province and use Afghan blood at the altar of their dirty national politics
§ the Yankees of US are using our land and people to safeguard their vested interests
§ the Idolaters of India are planning to repeat the role of east Indian company on our soil
§ the Materialists of Russia have not forgotten their retreat from our soil
§ the Arabs of Middle East want to use our land and people as the guinea pigs for the restoration of their lost national glory
But…..we Afghans swear by the sword of Ahmed Shah baba, the Nang of Khushal baba, the retaliation of Mirwais Neka, the pride of Sher Shah and above all the sanctity of Pashto that we will never submit to the world. The world will never hear Yes sir from us.
We know why we are the bone of contention in the eyes of our neighbours and the imperialist forces.
We also know that :
Pakistan is using the policy of strategic depth to destabilise Afghanistan due to the relationship of Afghanistan with India and is using ISI-backed Talibans to carry out its operations.
Pakistan wants to control Afghanistan via its secret agencies to make Afghanistan its fifth province and make itself strong in the region against India.
Pakistan considers pro-India Afghanistan to be against its national interests that is why it is against ISI-Taliban in Afghanistan on diplomatic front but they back them invisibly.
NATO forces/ISAF despite of their services for the stability have not won the hearts of Afghan people and are still doing ultra judicial collateral damages due to which they are loosing sympathies. They are projected by pro Taliban elements as invaders and not ISAF forces to stabilise Afghanistan especially. This is a fact too that Afghans cannot trust US due to its imperialist policies in the past.
Al-Qaeda is there to realise the dreams of global Arab domination using their religion and our region. They want to hijack Afghanistan and then Pakistan to implement their version of Islam with the help of the ISI-backed Taliban despite of the fact that they are unable to implement the same in their own countries.
Iran, despite of being anti-imperialist ,is conscious about the export of sectarian version of religion to Afghanistan and is having apprehensions that Afghan soil will be used against US attack that is why it does not want to see a stable Afghanistan.
There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel for Afghans to make Afghanistan a modern, democratic, progressive, sovereign, prosperous and socio-politico-economically free state due to the following reasons.
1. The geo strategic position of Afghanistan is vital for the world peace.
2. Afghans have seen three decades of war and life of refuge which has made them conscious about their national identity and their friends and foes.
3. Time has taught Afghans to get united on the principle of unity in diversity forgetting their feuds, enmity and internal conflicts otherwise the imperialist powers want to invade it due to its strategic position.
4. The institutions of Afghanistan are getting stronger due to the continuity of democratic tradition under the compulsions of international pressure.
5. The govt of Afghanistan is wisely exploiting the current geo-political situation for the national interests of Afghanistan by having good relations with neighbours as well as the developing and developed world.
6. Afghan leadership is exploiting the contradictions of the contemporary politics for the national interest of Afghanistan to ensure the integrity, stability and progress of Afghanistan.
7. The electronic and print media of Afghanistan like Lemar, Shamshad, Tolu and other channels is bringing political consciousness in the masses by exposing the conspiracies against the govt and people of Afghanistan by its enemies. The Afghan media is reaching each nook and corner of Afghanistan making Afghans aware of the world affairs. This is the age of media whatever is projected in media makes and breaks opinions.
8. Afghanistan has already successfully framed a constitution which guarantees basic human rights to every Afghan citizen without any discrimination of ethnicity.
9. Afghanistan has denounced Nationalism based on Racism as it is not only unscientific but also harmful and impractical to the national integrity.
10. Afghanistan is fastly evolving from tribal to agrarian and industrial society with the help of the world community.
11. Afghans have sense of a nation with common religion, history, geographical features, culture and a sense of unity since 1747 when even the current Pakistan, some part of India, Iran and central Asia were part of Afghan empire.
12. Ahmed shah baba is a model example of Afghan unity acceptable to all Afghans and respected by the Muslim world as well as neighbouring states.
Long live Afghans – the dwellers of the proud rugged mountains with high peaks which have trained its inhabitants to live with pride despite of poverty and to survive despite of being right in the middle of the Persian cultists, Indian idolaters, Pakistani hypocrites and Russian materialists.
