Once again it was many times. Get over it. Every people gets ruled by others, one point or another. You have been feed to much Pashton bravery bs bro.
Definition of rule:
1.a. Governing power or its possession or use; authority.
1. To be in total control or command; exercise supreme authority.
2. To formulate and issue a decree or decision.
Tell me what Empire had Supremer Authority over Afghanistan because you having been ranting
blah
that Afghanistan has been ruled (meaning under the Supreme authority of invaders) by those who tried to conquer it?
No one ever had complete control over Afghanistan, and neither did Afghans obey anyone's rule, No one ever had supremer authority over Afghanistan (Not even USA). Afghans submit to none but Allah's authority!
I dont give **** about all of these. So save it. Not my problems some Indians have these problems.
But it was your own fellow countrymen who started all this "****" by saying that Pakistanis try to be more Arabic than Arabs and how we have "hindu" blood

And it seems you have some sort of
superior complex, with
Pashtuns never getting conquered
That's because they never were conquered.
Far from the truth. Foreign ruler after the other. If the Pashtuns fought back, then why did foreign rulers keep replacing the other?
Why was Afghanistan invaded over and over again? Simple, Afghanistan is located in a
strategic location which is in between China, Central Asia, Indian subcontinent, and the middle east, in other words Afghanistan is the Heart of Asia which is why many armies had to go through Afghanistan (but they couldn't hold on to Afghanistan), and going through Afghanistan is the only way to get to the warm water ports of Iran and Pakistan (what the soviets tried to do but got their a**** handed to them). Also, recently a lot of Uranium, Lithium, Diamonds, Rubies, and other precious gems and minerals have been discovered in Afghanistan and it has also been called the "Saudi Arabia of Lithium". Afghanistan is the crossroads of Asia (AKA the heart of Asia) and its also the Graveyard of Empires.
Due to your silly and ignorant replies i have to highlight a lot of important points in my posts and can tell that you never heard or even know of the Great Game and how the British tried to conquer Afghanistan but failed and later on the soviets gave it a try and ended up just like the brits. Afghanistan has more importance than india.

I didn't read all the bullshits, but Afghanistan was first to fall under invading forces, be it Babur, Alex, Arabs or Nader.
read what i posted regarding Afghanistan's strategic location in my above post.
If anything Afghanistan ever ruled is now situated in present day Pakistan and North-West India.
Perhaps you need to go back to school and get better history lessons, or maybe in india they only teach you about "super power india".
Shah Mahmud Hotaki (1697? April 22, 1725) was an Afghan ruler of the Hotaki dynasty who defeated and overthrew the Safavid dynasty to become the king of Persia from 1722 until his death in 1725.[1] He was the eldest son of Mirwais Hotak, the chief of the Ghilzai-Pashtun tribe of Afghanistan, who had made the Kandahar region independent from Persian rule in 1709.
On October 23, Soltan Hossein abdicated and acknowledged Mahmud as the new shah of Persia

Apart from Mourya, Pala empire also stretched to present day Afghanistan.
The Mauryas or the Pala never ruled over the Pashtuns. unlike today, during the ancient times there was no real borders and population was so sparse and there was barely any people to people contact, wherever one empires territory ended, another empires territory began disregarding the fact that there were other people inhabiting that land. Perhaps if the mauryas or the "pala" launched a few military expeditions into the land today known as Afghanistan they'd probably would've known what they were dealing with and where the real boundaries of their empire ended.

Now don't get all itchy if some American says the same thing to you. Oh wait, they won't be able to loot you. I mean what is there to loot? Rugged mountains and goats? :s
Afghanistan has more potential then your poverty stricken country.!
Which battle of Panipath? The one in which Babur humiliated Afghans? The one in which Akbar won against Hemu? Or the one in which Afghans defeated Marathas expanding to North India but faced as much causalities if not more as Marathas.
you seem to be a confused, 1,000 years of Muslims rule plus british rule has really brought you people into a state of inferiority complex and identity crises.
You asked which battle of Panipat? It was the same battle of Panipat in which all the Muslims of central Asia, Iran and Afghanistan came together to slaughter the armies of your ancestors.
Or the one in which Afghans defeated Marathas expanding to North India but faced as much causalities if not more as Marathas.
i hope you were joking when you said the above statement!
A conservative estimate places Maratha losses at 35,000 on the Panipat battlefield itself, and another 10,000 or more in surrounding areas. The Afgans are thought to have lost some 30,000.
