COMMENTARY     

Shahsawar
7th January 2006
As a person from Afghanistan I praise your effort for gathering the most useful information to the visitor of your web-site about my country. But some of your information are based on assumptions made by other sources. For example the ethnic composition of Afghanistan's population is contravesial issue. In fact no ethnic group in Afghanistan is more than one-third of the population. Knowing this hard fact of life, Pashton dominated governments of Afghanistan never wanted to have reliable census of the country and ehtnic composiotion of the population. According to the provisions of the "BonnAgremeent" the Afghan government with support of the UN should have carried out this project but so far nothing has been done in this regard. Since there is no data no one can claim that Pashtoons are 42% of the population...If sone claims it can be labele only as "claim". If Pashtons were 42% and Tajiks 27 % why then the languge Tajiks is the langua franca of the country rather than the other way round. This is despite the fact all governments in Afghanistan during the past 100 years tried to replace Dari by Pashto in all official spheres.
The reality is that Pashtoons are less than 33% of the Afghan population. Tajiks togeter with Aimaqs and Qizelbashs make more than 40% of the Afghan population.
