In this Afghanistan travel vlog, we explored the old city of Kandahar and visited a few interesting historical sights, ate some delicious street food and even got welcomed by very kind Afghans who truly are the kindest souls on the planet! Is it safe to be in Afghanistan? Is it safe to be in Kandahar? We felt quite safe as tourists here!

Kandahar has been the capital of Afghanistan (land of Afghans) since 1709. We Afghans conquered Hindustan (land of Hindus) in 1750. The British never settled in Afghanistan.

Thank you once again for graciously sharing your experiences, and we deeply appreciate your visit to Kandahar. Over the past four decades, the resilient people of Kandahar have endured unimaginable hardships, witnessing severe conflicts that have taken a toll on their lives, properties, and subjected them to enduring economic crises. Despite these challenges, the people of Kandahar remain remarkably brave, valuing their privacy and cherishing freedom, factors that have contributed to the region's tumultuous history. Many heroes have emerged from this resilient community, contributing to Kandahar's rich and storied history. Your visit holds special significance, and we express our gratitude for your courage. Both of you are not only visitors but also embody bravery, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation to our Indian brothers and sisters for choosing to explore and share in the experiences of Afghanistan.

Most of the people you see there are deportees from Iran as well as laborers from nearby villages. The settled population is very small. Those cities are the equivalent of Jalalabad. Kandahar city, on the other hand, is expanding all the way to the airport, with modern communities and industrial areas.

Why did you have to write all that hindu nationalist mumbo jumbo at the beginning.

Afghanistan was not colonised by the british, yet you write after decades of colonisation. Show some respect or dont visit at all
@TheBackpacksters
@TheBackpacksters 6 месяцев назад
We've definitely been very respectful - unlike this comment. We didn't take advantage of anyone. Don't be insecure because "Gandhara" was mentioned - it was just a reference to what many in the sub-continent know it as from ancient history (not today)... there's nothing wrong with that! And probably, the definition of colonisation is relatively different to you 😅
@Khan-sl6rr
@Khan-sl6rr 6 месяцев назад
@TheBackpacksters no you were being disrespectful even though you were treated as a guest. Kandahar is not gadahara and it is in line with Hindu nationalist who claim to make Afghanistan part of their fantasy bharat. Like I said, you're welcome Just be respectful and don't give us the Hindu biased view of Afghanistan. Thank you
@Khan-sl6rr

@TheBackpacksters Afghanistan fought off the British empire and their Indian servants three times. Colonisation is when the country is fully captured and its population is subdued.

No, we've been very respectful - you are just looking to stir trouble here, aren't you? When Indians does not deny Afghan, Mughal, etc. rule at some point in history, why pretend that Kandahar isn't referred to as Gandhara in Indian history? Maybe, next, Chil Zina and Bamiyan probably don't (/shouldn't?) exist for you either - right? 😅 Its not a "Hindu" biased view. We referred to history as we learnt it in our homeland so as to help folks watching back in India can relate to something.
