AFGHAN`S SHARE IN INDIAN ART AND CULTURE Afghanistan and Hindustan (presently India) were two neighboring countries just more then half century ago. Before the partition of subcontinent, Afghans and Indians had a frequent exchange of business and cultural activities. According to famous Indian writer and Afghan affair specialist Mr. Manohar Singh Butra, close relations between Afghans and Indians remained a vital and glittering point in regional history. Because Afghans had played an important role in promotion of Indian art and culture. Mr. Manohar is absolutely right, because one can find the glimpses of Afghan architecture speared all over the Indian Territory. According to historians, When Afghanistan was called ARYANA, both Afghans and Hindus were sharing a common culture. Similarly when Arian ruled the said region and the region was called Gandahara, in those days both Arian and Indians were sharing the same faith, system and traditions. The huge statue of great Buddha in central parts of Afghanistan and also other ancient pieces of art and culture are the memorials of those days. Similarly in Indian books of Sanskrit version have also mention Balkh of Afghanistan as a great place of learning. This is worth mentioning that a number of words are being used in both Afghan and Indian dialogues. Indian history believe that in nineteenth century when most of the Asian nations were chained in slavery, Afghans stood against alien rulers and not only thought a lesson to those foreigners but also wrote a history of freedom and self-determination. Afghans are also consider the pioneers of democracy, because centuries before of the western democracy, Afghans were solving their disputes through the democratic way of Jerga and which is still a practicable way. Indians are also so much grateful to Afghan for their fight against English empire because when Afghan got their freedom the other nations including Indian were rose against their rulers and it last they also got liberation.

23. Afghanistan Travel | Lonely Planet World Guide Tells how two decades of war have virtually destroyed what was once a backpacker's paradise. Includes information on the country's history and culture. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/middle_east/afghanistan/

home search help worldguide ... Postcards Afghanistan Friendly, beautiful Afghanistan was once well known on the backpacking circuit as the place to stop for unparalleled hospitality, fantastic food, great hiking and...um...OK, we'll say it, that legendary hashish. Things, sadly, have changed. More than 20 years of war and Taliban rule left the dramatic countryside peppered with landmines and reduced many of the finest monuments and minarets to rubble. The poverty left in war's wake has taken an impossible human toll and encouraged the theft and sale of priceless national treasures. Between 1996 and 2001, everyone was kept under close watch by a skittish and heavily armed military theocracy that could not find legitimacy abroad. Then it became the focal point for the West's wrath because of suspected involvement in the September 11 attacks. The dust has not yet settled, and nobody's burning their burquas just yet. So say a prayer to Allah (or the deity of your choice) for peace, and perhaps beleaguered Afghans will once again be able to welcome the backpacking masses. Warning Afghanistan remains highly insecure, especially outside the capital, Kabul. US-led military operations against remnants of Taliban forces are ongoing. Acts of violence, often targeting foreigners, continue within and outside Kabul.

35. Why We All Need To See Rambo III One More Time Article discussing the relevance of the movie's depiction of the culture of afghanistan. http://www.scottmanning.com/resources/reviews/movies/rambo3.php

Main Movie Reviews > Why we all need to see Rambo III one more time Why we all need to see Rambo III one more time Scott Manning January 20, 2002 Comments (22) Director: Peter MacDonald Release Date: 1988 See it on Amazon.com Rambo III - why would I bring up Rambo III? This trilogy starring Sylvester Stallone features a one-man army taking on anyone and anything in any part of the world. The one thing that sets Rambo III apart from the other Rambo's is that it takes place in Afghanistan. Rambo travels to this middle-Asian country to save his life long trainer and friend. While there, he finds himself in the middle of the Russian-Afghan war. Having no other friends, Rambo teams up with the struggling Afghans to fight the Russians. As opposed to being just another shabby one-man army movie, Rambo III actually goes a little deeper. Much of the Afghan culture, people, and determination are displayed in this movie. Recently, the news has chronicled the return of the Afghan game, buzkashi, in which two teams fight over the body of a goat or calf. This game is played in this movie. We have all seen the Afghan people determined to fight off the Taliban. In this movie, we see that same determination fighting off the Communist Russians.

Français English Home Focus ... Print this page UNESCO Action Areas Education Natural Sciences Culture Communication Kabul Museum: Keeping Afghanistan's culture alive A banner hung over the entrance of Kabul museum earlier this year proudly proclaimed: “A nation stays alive when its culture stays alive.” Inside, however, tells a different story. Once one of the cultural icons of Kabul, the museum was repeatedly hit by rockets during the 1991-96 civil war, and two-thirds of its unique collection systematically looted. Many irreplacable items, such as the Begram ivories (right), the entire numismatic collection, and fragments of Buddhist wall paintings from the Bamiyan Valley disappeared. Later, the Taliban smashed many of its Greco-Buddhist statues. Of two nearly 2,000-year-old statues – one believed to represent the Kushan King Kanishka I, the other a Kushan nobleman - that once graced the entrance hall, nothing is left but the feet. The fragments of these and other smashed statues are piled in crates in the museum, in the hope that experts, using digital and virtual assembly techniques, can reconstitute some of them. It is also hoped to bring back items taken abroad illegally as soon as the museum is secure. With the help of Greece, the museum building, which is situated in the war-ravaged suburb of Darulaman, some eight kilometres from the centre of Kabul, is to regain its roof and windows. Efforts to restore the museum’s collection have already begun, with CEREDAF, a French NGO, furnishing the required materials, and the Musee Guimet of France, the British Museum and the SPACH (Society for the Protection of Afghanistan’s Cultural Heritage, an NGO) contributing to the inventory and training of personnel.
