Ariana:  “Some individuals shamelessly say we don’t accept the name of Afghanistan and want to change it to Khorasan. Khorasan is a province in Iran. There is no one to hold them accountable and give them a lesson,” Hekmatyar said while speaking at a mosque in Kabul. Recently, Abdul Latif Pedram, leader of the National Congress Party, in protest against government’s decision to distribute the electronic National Identity Card (e-NIC) called for the name of Afghanistan to be changed back to Khorasan and the national anthem be changed from Pashto to Persian.

    It was something to do with the
    three-pronged secret attacks of the English, ()early 1800’s), on Afghan major cities for an all out conquest of Peshawar; Kandahar and Herat :

    1- Through, Punjobi enslaved armies
    (on Peshawar).
    .
    2- Through, English Indian army
    (on Kandahar)

    3- Through, the bribed Qajaris puppets (Herat).

    The multi-frontal attacks of the armies on regular folks of Afghanistan were creating hacmvoc and gloomy impressions; in and around all of Afghanistan, (early 1800’s to early(1949’s) which lasted for several decades. It utterly ruined Afghanistan’ band eventually culminated into total defeat for the English Induan troops inside Afghanistan back then in early 1840’s.

    The name was based on that prolonged war situation and later pick up as the right name- in an order to honor those days and discourage further devastating similar incursions and attributed into the soil of Afghanistan .

    Ironicall, it did not help any- Afghanistan was attscked again and again by the same persistently-crazy Englisghnand and his rogue partners.

    As far as I know, most likely, it was associates with the battles and wars of expulsions during that time period.

    ••••••*Just take it easy folks- when the real people of the country
    takes over, ((INSHAHLAH)), the governorship of the country; then, the right authority could easily deliberate and rightly decide on its status- after all it is their country and no body can take it from them.

    Who knows, someday, it might
    be called
    “ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF SOUTH-EAST ASIA”- that will definately scare
    the hell out of warmongers.

  9. Baghlani says:
    June 1, 2018 at 5:35 pm

    Sorry; meant to say:
    =============•=
    “ISLAMIC REPUBLIC
    OF
    SOUTH-WEST ASIA”

    INCIDENTALLY; THAT IS WHY
    “FARSI/DARI SPEAKING”
    FOLKS
    OF
    AFGHANISTAN, ((IN WHOLE OF ASIA)), ARE NOT ADDRESSED ON ETHNICITY BASIS.
    ********
    It basically points out to how the common Islamic cultural and languistic developments took roots as Islam spread through out various parts of Asian continent.

    I would like to mention that Koarahsahn is an Islamic regency to eastern domains of Islamic lands which could, in fact , cover all of the Eastern Islamic land; Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and east parts of Iran.

    I think; it is also an Islamic term which basically means “prayer call at dawn”
    ((KHOARAS-AHZAHN))- rooster’s
    call to (morning)
    prayer.

    Sorry again !
    .
    Meant to say; an Islamic reference to its eastern domains”- which were arbitrary defined according to traditionally ambiguous casual quotes and official written records,

  13. Baghlani says:
    June 1, 2018 at 6:15 pm

    I would love to
    call my imaginary
    little town “KHOARASAHN”- it is
    a cool
    name as well

  14. Baghlani says:

    It still resonates with the
    medieval Islamic
    bygone periods and eras.

  15. Baghlani says:
    June 1, 2018 at 8:05 pm

    It is
    just an
    *imagination!

  16. Baghlani says:

    *Afghanistan belongs
    to all the
    people of Afghanistan- every one
    must have the same
    privileges and rights.
    .
    It is God-given- denying full rights
    is not
    Islamic.
