What a ignorant post, my my, don't you indians know better not to talk of things that you know very little to nothing about?
And you've got to stop kidding yourself with all of that bullsh!t you just posted, trust me, its a friendly advice.
What's now known as Afghanistan had been part of myriads of empires until 1702 when persian adventurer Ahmed Abdali set up his fiefdom and gave them a national identity. Then again it became buffer state between Russian and England.
But none of them could force their writ upon the Afghans, its like saying Kashmir is a part of india just because indian gov. says so but in reality Kashmir is a disputed territory regardless of what indian gov. map depicts. However, there is a big difference, unlike Kashmir, no one was successful in deploying and maintaining a large military presence in Afghanistan without having to face fierce resistance, which, finally forced the invaders out with their tail between their legs.

My my, another sign of serious lack of knowledge from an indian, FYI Abdali was an Afghan. Keep up the ignorant posts my friend, Next thing you know the word ignorant will become synonymous with the word indian.
The Afghans did win one 19th-century battle against a British-led Sikh army, but that was the exception that proves the rule.
One "19th century battle", your kidding me right?, why are you making a fool of yourself? The British lost 3 wars in Afghanistan, go learn the history before yapping nonsense.
After that, the British emerged as the power behind the Kabul throne, maintaining their influence until the '40s before US and Soviet took over.
The Shrewd british, knowing that they couldn't take Afghanistan through conquest (unlike a certain country in south asia that dreams of "superpower" status), instead, took advantage of Afghanistan's landlocked geography, which was one of its biggest weaknesses. With Russia to the north and British conquered india to the south east and no access to sea, Afghanistan was left with no choice.
true noone wants to settle there.
Funny i'm hearing this from an indian, what's the matter, your @rse is burning because you and your people have been ghulams of every invader? The inferiority complex you people have is appalling, but i can't blame you for the 1,000+ years of ghulami (including that of british) you people did under foreign invaders.
