  • Invest in Afghan Women: a Report on Education in Afghanistan a Checkered History
    INVEST IN AFGHAN WOMEN: — A REPORT ON — EDUCATION IN AFGHANISTAN Presented by the George W. Bush Institute’s Women’s Initiative OCTOBER 2O13 “I HOPE AMERICANS WILL JOIN OUR FAMILY IN WORKING TO INVEST IN AFGHAN GIRLS ENSURE THAT DIGNITY AND OPPORTUNITY WILL BE SECURED FOR ALL THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF AFGHANISTAN.” In October 2012, a Taliban operative shot 15-year-old Pakistani student Malala Yousafzai in the face and neck while she traveled — MRS. LAURA BUSH home on a school bus. The assassination attempt was punishment for her “crime” of advocating for girls’ education. After surgeons repaired her shattered skull, Malala made a full recovery. And on July 12, 2013, she gave a rousing speech at the United Nations, becoming a global voice for girls’ access to education. Malala’s story is inspiring, but unfortunately the evils she’s combating are all too common in her region of the world. Just next door, in Afghanistan, religious fanaticism and deeply entrenched cultural practices have led to the systematic oppression of women and young girls. The Afghan situation is particularly desperate. While her peers in the United States prepare for their freshman year of high school, a typical 14-year-old Afghan girl has already been forced to leave formal education and is at acute risk of mandated marriage and early motherhood. If she beats the odds and attends school, she has reason to fear an attack on her schoolhouse with grenades or poison. A full 76 percent of her countrywomen have never attended school. And only 12.6 percent can read.

  • Afghanistan: an Overview
    Afghanistan: An Overview by Iraj Bashiri copyright 2002 General information Location and Terrain Afghanistan is a mountainous country centered primarily around the Hindu Kush range of mountains. Nearly three quarters of the country is covered by mountains that range in height anywhere between 3,000 to 4,000 feet. Afghanistan is bound to the north by the three republics of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan; to the east by Tajikistan and China; to the south by Pakistan; and to the west by Iran. The inhabitants of the kingdom live in the river valleys created by the Kabul, Harirud, Andarab, and Hirmand rivers. The economy of Afghanistan is based on wet and dry farming as well as on herding. Afghanistan Overview Topography and Climate The weather in Afghanistan is varied depending on climatic zones. Generally, the winters are cold to mild (32 to 45 F.) and the summers (75 to 90 F.) are hot with no precipitation. No doubt Afghan topography and climate greatly impact transportation and social mobility and hampers the country's progress towards independence and nationhood. Ethnic Mix In 1893, when the Duran line was drawn and modern Afghanistan was created, the region of present-day Islamic Republic of Afghanistan was populated by two main ethnic groups: Indo-European and Turkish. Some pockets of Arab nomads, Hindus, and Jews also lived in the region mostly close to the Panj River valley. The Indo-European population was a continuation of the dominant Indo-Iranian branch in the north and west centered in the cities of Bukhara and Tehran, respectively. The Hindu Kush mountain divided this Indo-Iranian population into four ethnic zones: Pushtuns to the south and southeast; Tajiks to the northeast of the Hindu Kush range; Parsiwans to the west; and Baluch to the southwest The Pushtuns, who later (1950's) made an unsuccessful attempt at creating a Pushtunistan, numbered about 13,000,000.

    From: Uwe H. Bittlingmayer, Anne-Marie Grundmeier, Reinhart Kößler, Diana Sahrai, Fereschta Sahrai (eds.) Education and Development in Afghanistan Challenges and Prospects March 2019, 314 p., pb., numerous ill. 39,99 € (DE), 978-3-8376-3637-6 E-Book: PDF: 39,99 € (DE), ISBN 978-3-8394-3637-0 After years of military interventions, the current situation in Afghanistan is highly am- bivalent and partially contradictory – especially regarding the interplay of development, peace, security, education, and economy. Despite numerous initiatives, Afghanistan is still confronted with a poor security and economic condition. At the same time, enroll- ment numbers in schools and universities as well as the rate of academics reached a historical peak. This volume investigates the tension between these ambivalent developments. Sociol- ogists, political and cultural scientists along with development workers, educators, and artists from Germany and Afghanistan discuss the idea that education is primary for rebuilding a stable Afghan state and government.

  • The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan
    The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 George Fiske All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske This study examines the socioeconomics of state formation in medieval Afghanistan in historical and historiographic terms. It outlines the thousand year history of Ghaznavid historiography by treating primary and secondary sources as a continuum of perspectives, demonstrating the persistent problems of dynastic and political thinking across periods and cultures. It conceptualizes the geography of Ghaznavid origins by framing their rise within specific landscapes and histories of state formation, favoring time over space as much as possible and reintegrating their experience with the general histories of Iran, Central Asia, and India. Once the grand narrative is illustrated, the scope narrows to the dual process of monetization and urbanization in Samanid territory in order to approach Ghaznavid obstacles to state formation. The socioeconomic narrative then shifts to political and military specifics to demythologize the rise of the Ghaznavids in terms of the framing contexts described in the previous chapters. Finally, the study specifies the exact combination of culture and history which the Ghaznavids exemplified to show their particular and universal character and suggest future paths for research.

  • Attacks on Education in Afghanistan Briefing Paper | November 2018
    Attacks on Education in Afghanistan Briefing Paper | November 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Since 2001, Afghanistan’s government has made significant progress in expanding access to education and enabling thousands of children to enroll in school. However, these gains are now at risk. The numbers of children who are out of school are once again rising. The ongoing conflict, increasing insecurity, and, specifically, attacks on education are among the main drivers behind this reversal in enrollment. The current year, 2018, has seen attacks on students, teachers, and schools accelerate dramatically, particularly in areas of the country under the control of or contested by non-state armed groups. The use of schools for election-related purposes has also contributed to large numbers of attacks on education. The Government of Afghanistan has taken some positive steps towards protecting education, particularly by endorsing the Safe Schools Declaration. In the process, it faces extreme challenges. All parties to the conflict must strictly refrain from any attack on education and avoid using schools for either political or military purposes.

  • GEOSTRATEGIC IMPORTANCE of AFGHANISTAN for PAKISTAN IMRAN KHAN* and SAFDAR ALI SHIRAZI**
    Pakistan Geographical Review, Vol.76, No1, June. 2021, PP 137-153 GEOSTRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF AFGHANISTAN FOR PAKISTAN IMRAN KHAN* and SAFDAR ALI SHIRAZI** *Postdocs Scholar in Department of Geography, University of the Punjab Lahore **Head of the Department of Geography, University of the Punjab Lahore Email: [email protected] & [email protected] ABSTRACT Afghanistan has a special geographical position. The country is located in the economic, cultural and geopolitical important areas of the region. Pakistan and remaining south Asia is in its East and Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in west, Tajikistan and China is located in its north and in its South is Iran and remaining West Asia. Afghanistan connects south Asia and West Asia with Central Asia that is an important thing to understand as South Asian nations are overpopulated and are energy hungry whereas Central Asia has energy resources. Connectivity of Central Asia and South Asia, can open up many opportunities for each other, they have been less able to have beneficial and constructive trade and cultural relations with each other due to the lack of safe transportation routes and necessary communication channels. On the other hand, Afghanistan, being in a special geographical position, can enjoy a great economic opportunity in the field of trade and transit and use it for the development, construction and prosperity of the country. Although efforts have been made over the past few years to take advantage of these opportunities, world nations have so far yielded no tangible results. This article discusses the opportunities and capacities that this geographical location of Afghanistan has provided for Pakistan in the economic and security fields and this article discusses and tries to identify the most important features of the geographical location of Afghanistan that can be effective for the development of Pakistan and Afghanistan in visa versa.

The art of Gandhāra started being known in the second half of the nineteenth century, 1 and soon became the privileged fi eld of research of western scholars. When in 1905 Alfred Foucher published the fi rst volume of L’art gréco- bouddhique du Gandhâra, Gandhāra had already been removed from the body of India as a region apart, despite the fact that Gandhāran Buddhism was construed as a paradigm not only of Buddhist art, but of Buddhism tout court, and Buddhism was obviously part of Indian history. In the early decades of the last century, Indian scholars (who were not sim- ply the babus who provided western scholars with texts and translations, but independent minds deeply involved in the debate on Indian past)2 preferred, with the exception of Bengali intellectuals, to stay away from anything related to Buddhism, a religion that their ancestors had actively opposed.3 Their alienation with regard a ‘Greek’ Buddhism was obviously even greater. The fact that Foucher’s book was written in French further estranged them from the fi eld of Gandhāran studies.
