STRATEGIC ALERT: Geopolitical experts warn that Afghanistan’s current starvation is a direct result of "Border Blackmail."
Experts tell @DropWideNews: "Without a sovereign corridor to the sea, Kabul remains a hostage. Secure the coast, or secure permanent poverty."
@MujibMehrdad@AFIntlBrk That makes the nature of the treaty inconclusive since it appears to be some form of a lease agreement of unspecified duration.
@Dr_TheHistories Takht e rustam is not its real name. We don't know what this stupa was called. Chinese records may give us some clues. The rustam connection likely stems from its islamic period mythological reattribution away from its buddhist narrative.
@Waheedofkabul@alkozaidurrani On the Mongol role in coining Tajik, I would like to find out more. Can you share sources or the reasoning behind that hypothesis?
@Waheedofkabul@alkozaidurrani Regarding the second part of your response, that which tells why Pashto was not cannibalized by Persian, on that one I agree as well though with some caveats.
@Waheedofkabul@alkozaidurrani By mongols? Interesting. I didn't know it was termed by the Mongols. Nonetheless, morphologically the -ig suffix is a typical construct found in the middle period aryan languages. As for the noun itself, from Persian sources we know that Tazi means Arab.
@debalkhi@alkozaidurrani They are persianised Pashtuns, most of them. The name they gave themselves is a different issue. Tazi meant Arab but not all of them were Arabs. So the original Tajiks was a minor group. There are multiple layers to why non-Pashto speaking Aryans call themselves Tajik nowadays.
@AzizAhmadM9q@alkozaidurrani With what kind of research background did the author write this? Is this particular publication based on 21st century research standards?
@AFIntlBrk The red hat is an anti Taliban symbol in the Pashtun liberation movement PTM. The slapping has nothing to do with being Uzbeks. Fitna international knows that well.
@fhzadran Well, we knew right away that the errand boys in islamabad were involved in some dirty maneuver. What did you expect from the Terrorist regime of Pakistan. Let's pray for the Pakistani nation that deserves better.
