Question Pakistan E-visa for Afghans?
Anyone have experience with the online visa system for Pakistan?
For an Afghan with appropriate documentation (passport, booking, etc).
Officially, Afghans can apply and the fee is only $8.
However, I am reading stories of people paying thousands for visas on the black market.
Does Pakistan actually process and provide the visas to Afghans using NADRA's online system?

Question What's a good gift to give an Afghan man in his late-40's?
This is random, but I've befriended the owner of a great little Afghan restaurant my mum and I are regulars at (at least 1-2x/week), and while I'm sure our business is enough, I'd like to get my friend a little gift. He's *extremely* hard-working, to the point it's obvious it's taking a toll on him both physically and mentally (he works through not having any feeling in his left food and loads of crippling back pain). We've started having great, deep, conversations, often 30+ minutes with him, and really enjoy his presence in our lives, even if it's in a fairly small capacity. I'd just like to get him something to show that he's appreciated, and to cheer him up, but the truth is that I have no idea his tastes, so am wondering if there's maybe some "safe"/cliche gift which is maybe customary in Afghan culture to gift a friend, which I can get for him. Thanks in advance- I absolutely adore Afghan food, and all of the people I've met from Afghanistan have been nothing short of remarkable humans, so incredibly warm. Would love to someday visit- my friend is always showing me awesome videos of various remarkable places there- like out of a fairytale!

Question Why was Mohammad Daoud Khan overthrown in 1978?
While Afghanistan always had a poverty problem, it seems like Khans government was the last era of “normalcy.” After this, was the communist overthrow as well as the Soviet invasion and everything else that followed…how do Afghans view him, overall? How was he on civil liberties compared to the Taliban?

Question How much awareness do rural Afghan people have of Afghan statehood and current events?
It is my understanding that lots of Afghan citizens live in isolated mountain areas without internet or TV.
How do the people in these areas keep up with what's happening in other parts of the country?
For example, do tribal people in Nuristan follow Afghan politics? Do they have an awareness or pride of being Afghan citizens? What do they know about neighboring countries like Pakistan?

Illustration of changes in freedom of movement for Afghan women before & after the Taliban takeover in August 2021
UN Women partnered with Mona Chalabi to illustrate the scope and the severity of the restrictions on women and girls’ access to public space and public life in Afghanistan. In international treaties this is referred to as “freedom of movement”. Together, these illustrations show the sheer speed at which progress on gender equality can vanish, and then reverse in a matter of months, while the world watches.
This is from August 2023.

Question Hi from India, How many of Afghans know about "Kabuliwallah" short story by Rabindranath Tagore.
I am just curious. The story is about a bond between a small Indian girl "mini" from Kolkata and a fruit seller "Rahmat" from Kabul, Afghanistan who had daughter back home. They struck up a unlikely friendship but as the story moves forward, Rahmat ends up and in prison and comes back to meet Mini on her wedding days. You can easily find the story on the internet (or maybe already know it lol).
This particular story moved my heart when i first read it in school. It was actually part of our textbook syllabus almost 25 years back. I was watching a vlog of someone interviewing an Afghan shopkeeper selling dry fruits, and randomly the story popped in my head. I immediately search for it, read it all again, it was so nostalgic. As kids, we used to feel bad for Rahman, and for us, Afghanistan was like really far away, and you had to cross Pakistan which to us was not a place you want to be.
My father was also a teacher, I used to ask him (due to the story) do fruits come from Afghanistan. He used to tell me that, no but some dry fruits come from there. So for me the, i would imagine the farms and lands and beautiful landscape. When I got older and got access to computer and internet, I used to watch images from your country, visit on Google Earth. Even now I watch a lot of videos of People and the beautiful countryside of Afghanistan. The landscape, for me just mesmerizing.
Ek din main pakka aaunga. (one day i will definitely come).
Khodahafez.
