These are selective picture.The piece of land called Afghanistan has never seen peace in the history like our tribal areas.There had been tribal clashes and secterian too,govt throwings,conflicts etc.
Sorry to Afghans,they did not do well with Pakistan when there was a little peace.They opposed PAkistan's UN seat and created the theory of Pakhtoonistan.They also gave refuge to some of PAkistan's rebel.and even today Afghans do not like Pakistan.Some blame us for creating Taliban and some for supporting USA.
This is the time that Pakistan should leave Afghanistan's worries,fence border and behave as we do with India i-e no friend no enemy otherwise we will be in same state as today Afghanistan is, after few years.

Muhammad Ra, an Afghan, is on the facebook. He has many such collections. Send him a friend request and if he accepts you as friend you guys could watch the awesome past of Afghanistan. I can't share all of them. I could watch them because i am his friend. Still i will try to post pics.
That how he describes his country.
The Afghanistan that my parents lived in, were Kabul was once called the Paris of central Asia. Once the jewel of Asia, a very progressive and moderately modern country. Kabul once had, cinemas, cafes, formal French gardens, schools, libraries, universities, fine boutiques. Where both women and men had access to education and a better future. A country were women were granted the right to vote in 1963! In many of these pictures is not the clothing nor the style of their clothing that make the women then "liberated" but the fact that those women were able to choose and decipher for themselves what they thought was appropriate to wear. The very fact that they were in a class room to further their education, is what I am proud of most. In Islam, education it is not only stressed but is an obligation, for both women and men. Women are not only our other half of society but they are our mothers, sisters, aunts, and perhaps most importantly our first teachers.True liberation is only possible through education. How is it possible that Kabul went from these photos to the mess that is Kabul and Afghanistan today? I would never blame Islam. I blame lack of education and foreign interference, Afghanistan being a product of the cold war paid the heaviest price.
The Afghanistan that once existed, was the Afghanistan my family experienced. They were highly educated, modern, progressive and cosmopolitan people. My mom and her sisters attended primary school, high school and attended university. Classmates wore mini-jupes, went to the cinemas, went to sporting events, shopped at boutiques, and picnicked at Paghman the city of gardens every Friday near the formal french gardens.
Highly educated, culturally aware and yet religious at the same time, there was never an issue with not having your hair covered or the clothes you wore. Some have described my parents Afghanistan as very "western", but I don't choose to call it that, I describe it as a highly modern and progressive society that flourished. Freedom, equality, and education are not western but in fact universal themes. This progressive peaceful society lasted until foreign interference occurred in the late 1970's plummeting the country to what Afghanistan has become today.

It seems like in the early 70s, Afghanistan was way modern and advanced than India.
