Talk:European influence in Afghanistan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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
[edit] Mid and late 20th century
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.

[edit] "Hindu Afghan" errancy
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)
