Pervaded traditional Islamic piety
always dominated most aspects of lives like
daily prayer calls- all through out the constellations of villages that stretched below under the high peaked glaciers and lower rugged terrains along the steep mountain slopes and swift-running river flows of Punj-Shayr high valley ((roughly 75 miles)).
Many more Interacting towns and villages were dotted, as always, along the Punj-Shayr river banks, on its winding path ways, from Gul-Baha’ rapid down-flows and falls, all the way to “Tug-Aub” hamlets
south of
Kapisa Province.

Those loosely-connected and traditional networks of isolated communities were always culturally well-defined and tacitly maintained under unofficially strict Islamic norms and jurisdictions which gave the whole region a rare form of “cohesive unity”- unparalleled to most other parts
of
the country at large.
*
Those deeply-held ancient symbolic expressions
((early 70’s)) were always acting as a sort of counterbalance to
shifting cultural trends of
“Kabul City”
((roughly 60 miles southeast from the entrance to the Punj-Shayr valley)) which was incidentally already functional as a major regional international hub during active phases
of
Cold War era, ((early 60’S to late 70’S)),
*
Kabul City was rapidly modernizing and slowly turning into a major international political hub right in the midst
of
Central and Southwest Asia.
*
A case in point was the presence of more than thirty embassies that were representing many countries across the world.

The intensification of tug of the cold-wars among the major international political power brokers and their collaborators ((later 70’s and onwards)), began to gradually stir endemic regional instabilities that made the whole region, at times, greatly vulnerable
to
extreme forms of social upheaval and foreign take overs.
*
*
The Capital was getting increasingly alienated, on its social, economical and political platforms and affairs, from the rest of the strongly-established traditional rural lives, outside the mainstreams of the Capital city where foreigners, ((even hippies)), were freely mingling and actively pushing and selling their unique agendas on agents of the government and local businesses
*
The political mobilization and later tactical resistance and stands of the alliance under
Ahmad Shah Massood’s charismatic ideological and military leadership against the Soviet invasion ((December of 1979)) turned as solid model, for most other parts of the country.
*
The mottos of his movement were closely representing the traditional cultural and religious aspirations of the majority of the people of Afghanistan
*
The growing wiser leadership recognized their initial devotion to the cause
of
Muslim people of Punjshayr, a conservative and isolated river valley turf that was set to be used as a model for the rest of the country- it was the beginning of a sacred cause that soon transcended the
geographic boundaries
and
ethnic lines.
*
The wise leadership conceived and formulated something special by embracing
deeply-rooted traditionally-practical schools of Islamic jurisprudence- it was all meant to address the cherished traditional religious norms, as well as, the cultural independence of those isolated folks that were increasingly coming under intense social pressures and harmful grips of foreign-inspired ideologies.
===================
*
Ahmad Shah Massood was keenly aware of his position and the required urgency to help counter the agendas that were mainly serving the exclusive geopolitical interests of the imposing powers.

Soon, after the Soviet departure from Afghanistan, ((1989)), all hopeful signs of a peaceful Afghanistan dashed; due to executions of new rounds of destabilizing plots that were obviously meant to perpetuate anarchies and derail peaceful process among the political parties inside Afghanistan.
*
*
The dilemmas of arrogantly-poised foreign military and diplomatic fronts, on one hand, and the critically importance of an immediate need for a peaceful aspirations of the regular folks, on the other hand, kept
Ahmad Shah Massood
and
other honorable resistance leaders vigilant; highly-puzzled and suspicious- deep into the greedy and savage natures of the foreign-conceived
dirty schemes and their
direct
and/or
indirect
military interventions.
