Afghanistan: under the spell of dollars

Oh Da kho Dollar Di chi Toll  ye Talash kawe Aow Lawniy Di

Wow..! man. Nice article.

"......He said that people were not interested in learning English then, even loathed the idea. But as soon as the Taliban were ousted and the Karzai government was installed, the centers were not able to make room for armies of youths willing to learn the language and find jobs with NGOs."

This is the most important part of this article. Youth, honestl dont want to die or become human bombs or beat up women or spit at anything foreign. All they want to learn something, and find a job. Now there are only NGO jobs available in Afghan. Before that it was only Taliban jobs. If they get more opportunities, definitely youth (not only in Afghanm but any place in this world ) will come up in life.

All they want to do is enjoy life and live happily. Learning English or any other language does not dilute one's belief or culture. On the contrary, it helps them to see life from different angles.

Terrorists does not want this to happen. That is why they are blowing up schools and preventing women from gaining knowledge. Simply put, they cant stand a different perspective. Everyone should see through their myopic tunneled view.

my brother rura your story makes me want to kill myself my heart bleeds for the pashtons you talking about dollars which is not even our currency you talking about english which is not even our language you saying that you were waiting in the que in peshawar to renew your passport or change your money and you were treated bad what can i say the pashtons treat punjabies sindies english arabs iraniens americans better then our children you said there were two million afghans in peshawar and i am saying there are 30 million pashtons afghans in peshawar and they are all working in the interest of pakistan and qadi azam alama iqbal if you look at qadi azam grave they have four soldiers protecting it twenty four hours  a day if you look at khushal khan khattak grave its all broken the border to afghan pashtons are closed the border to the indian border in karachi are open they have a green light to come and go. when it comes to pashton unity these people telling us that we are against islam i dont understand myself if i was speaking urdu is that mean i am a muslim if i was speaking arabic does that mean i am a muslim same in english if you dont speak english you will not beable to get a job or you will not be able to be treated as a human being but what is worse we have to speak urdu to get a job in punjab or karachi the worst thing is they forced there language on us on our own land if its english urdu arabic iranien and so and so as long as you speak foren language on our land your okay but if you speak pashto you will be treated worst then an animal on your own land may allah unite us pashton on both side there sixty million pashton on both side. the nation speak the urdu language are less then fifty million and they force there language and currency and economy on us we need to wake up and work in the interest of pashto my advice to the pashton open your eyes australia america british even africa there acent might be different but they speak english and spreading there language around the world pakistan urdu punjabi sindi indians they are one language they have one route the arabs saudia arabia lebonans iraqi egypt even somalians they all speak one language which is arabic and work in the interest of arabs iraniens fasiwal azbiks and tajiks have a one language only pashtton are divided and not working in the interest of there children or language

Oh..my advice to terrorists who hate English speakers.

- Please learn English, even though the speakers are your enemies. It is important to understand what does the enemey speak  :))

i have never said anything about hating english or any other language all i am saying that if your on my land you should speak read my language talk about terrorist there two kind of terrorist one will put gun on your head and force you to do things hes way another or two is  the people or nation will use economy to control your life for example the brother above says he wages or salary will increase from 300 US dollars to 500 US dollars if I was able to improve my English to me this is a hipocracies why should we learn your language the man is educted enough in pashto why cant he get the same wages that education that he had in his own language you personally dont understand the pashtons the situation that we are in now we have to go from one language to another to make ouw life better not just english for example we have to learn arabic and then they enforce other language on us urdu punjabi farsi iranien and so and so this will make our children confused and backward they are other subject that we can learn for example physics, chemistry maths the economy on our land is not just being controlled by british or americans the iraniens are involved pakistanies arabs azbiks tajiks unless the pashtons are united and given our children a chance to work together afghanistan will be divided and threat to the world forever because i personally think i will go with anybody who treat me better 

Dear Nazar Rabi,

You have right to disagree with any point or anyone, but I think speaking with hate against a languague (anyone including Punjabi) will not help. My article is not against English or any other language, I myself am learning English. My point is the culture that is taking place as a trend in our society that people learn the language just to earn money, not for knowledge or education.

Thank you for your comments.

I personally think the comment that I made its not about hating anyone  language or religion or colour. The comment that I made is my personal experience in life that I have been through. of course you have to get along with everybody in the world. All the resources on our land belongs to every life force or  human being but at the same time our intrest comes first. For example you have said it yourself that you have been waiting in the passport office in Pakistan to change your currency or Passport and you have a difficult time changing it. This is not because of a punjabi people, its our own Pashtun people will discrminate and keep there own Pashtun backword. The reason for this because most of the economy  or people high in the office are foriegners and they have there own language intrest come first. We have a situation on our land, some support Taliban working in the intreast of Arabs, the other support punjabi, these are the same punjabi who supported taliban and these are the same punjabi who are against taliban. then you have ahmat khazai who is supporting farsiwell, irananians. As for we Pashtun we will slaughter and kill  our children where there is a dollar or rupee or the arab or the iranian currency  I am not saying that you should not learn english to make your life better what i am saying by bringing foriegn education into pashtun the pashtuns themselves is not going to go forward no where in the world are a country or nation is run by foriegn languages except us pashtuns people talk to me about unity of islam but pashtuns are devided
people talk to me about unity of pakistan but pashtuns are devided people talk to me about unity of humanity but pashtuns are devided our women will go to schools and education foriegn university and colleges but when it comes to pashto language we pashtuns are the first one to say its against islam to send a women to school. ill give you a simple example people come to me saying there is nothing worng with learning a foriegn language they say to me it will increase your knowledge by learning other languages. i am saying to them why dont they increase there knowledge by learning pashto. i am sorry if i have said something wrong or upset somebody, there is nothing wrong with learning a foriegn language if it will improve you life and serve your people but i am against those people who wants to change my way of life. I am proud to be a pashtuns, the unity of pashtuns on both sides come first before islam or humanity. i dont care what these hippocrets say and everytime i try to make my life better or improve and they keep on changing it for me and my children. long live pashtun

Abdulhadi Hairan brother rura i agree what you say people learn language becuase they want to earn money but who controls these money and economy for example habeeb bank in pakistan allied bank national bank p.i.a pakistan airline peshawar airport the defense system in pakistan custom office in karachi acess to the see eduction system is contolled in urdu printing books this is just the basics businesses contolled by these people thats why we struggling and then you go across afghanistan most of the business controlled over there by farsiwal brother i am not against anybody language but i am against hipocrat

That is a good point, dear Nazar Rabi. Of course, you have a strong stance on our culture, language and values and I am proud of you.

It seems that the admins deleted Johns' comment. So I deleted mine.

Brother how do help the pashtun community in what way what is your position if you dont mind me asking and how do  we as a musarfir can help the pashtun community . we dont have our own currency, how do you think we are going to help ourselves if we dont chase the foriegn dollars pound money or eropean currency

Dear Nazar Rabi,

I think you still have not caught my point. My point was that this culture of learning not for knowledge but money is not good.

The second point was that the problems should be solved and people should be given relied. As indicated in the example of Afghan Consulate in Peshawar, I pointed that fees Afghans have many problems because they are required to give fees in dollars. I know that American and European embassies in Islamabad take fees in rupees so why Afghan Consulate does not take the fees in Afghani or rupee?

Hope you understand my point.
