When we refer to Afghanistan as an ethnostate, a picture conveys the message more effectively than a thousand words.

Just about 200 years ago, people didn't even call it Afghanistan. It went under different names Kabul country, Khorasan, or Kingdom of Kabul. Claiming modern-day Afghanistan have a long history is a lie fed to us as part of the Afghan nation-building in their image.

Zahiruddin Muhammad Babur (1483-1530) describes different tribes (Tajik, Afghan, Hazara, and Turks) that live in Kabul and the geographic location of Afghanistan. After a century of Pashtunization, diversity and identifying with your roots are seen as unpatriotic.

It's puzzling to understand why Pashtun becomes defensive when the topic of Khorasan arises. Before implementing Afghanistan's revisionist history, Kandahar was recognized as a vital trading hub under the realm of Safavid's Khorasan, spanning about 2 centuries. The Mughal

Embracing the name 'Afghanistan' for one's country as a Tajik, Uzbek, Hazara, or Turkmen may be perceived as relinquishing one's ancestral ties to the land, potentially causing a sense of being a "refugee" within one's own homeland.

Malali is most likely a fabrication by Abdul Hai Habibi (author of Pata Khazana) that mirrors Joan of Arc. There is no mention of Malai or such acts of heroism in both local and British contemporary sources. It appeared half a century later.

What we see here is simple. A particular clique of Afghans learnt and continue to believe that merely screeching 'terrorism' is enough to solicit foreign support in silencing their rivals. You can't teach an old dog, especially of the War on Terror variety, new tricks.
