Old talk[edit]

You mentioned "convertion of hindus in kafiristan" its not correct because there were no hindus in kafiristan it was pagan greek living there till now

Mid and late 20th century[edit]

This article reads more as "British influence...". Other episodes that come to mind are the presence of German advisors/ nationals (& a reference to Nazi Aryan racial theories) in the country just before WWII and Britain's failed efforts to get them expelled, the Soviet invasion and its aftermath and perhaps the presence of NATO troops in recent years.

"Hindu Afghan" errancy[edit]

Under the "Iron Amir" I changed "the last Hindu Afghans of Kafirstan.." to "the last non-Muslim Afghans of Kafirstan.."

The Kafirs of Kafirstan (now called "Nuristan"), like their brethren the Kailash of neighboring Kafirstan in Pakistan, were not and are not Hindus. They have their own animistic religion that bears absolutely no resemblance to any Hindu practices. Due to this, along with their high frequency of blondism, it was postulated that they are remnants of Hellenic invaders from Alexander's armies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.200.11.71 (talk) 19:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

Maybe this article could be merged into the article Emirate of Afghanistan. 207.233.67.8 (talk) 22:30, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the portion 'Third Anglo-Afghan War and Independence', the tone of the article is such as if the Indians supported the war against Afghanistan. It is written "Afghan forces achieved success in the initial days of the war, taking the British and Indians by surprise in two main thrusts as the Afghan regular army was joined by large numbers of Pashtun tribesmen from both sides of the border. A series of skirmishes then followed as the British and Indians recovered from their initial surprise." But the Indians actually had nothing against the Afghans, so mention of 'Indians' should be removed from here. Shouvikgreat (talk) 21:04, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article means the soldiers were Indian. It is rather misleading to describe someone from British Crown Colony of India as "British" as that is not quite right.--A.S. Brown (talk) 18:48, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
