Afghanistan - 27 March 1987
Afghanistan's capital still looks very much like a city at war. But seven years of fighting have not dampened the entrepreneurial spirit of Kabul's inhabitants. Until recently there had been up to 40 explosions a day. In 7 years Kabul's population has swollen 5-fold to an estimated 3 million

После того, как бросили поддерживать Наджибуллу, прогнувшись под американские требования, получили Чечню и Дагестан, исламские движения центральной Азии, куда поехали сотни и тысячи победивших исламистов, умеющих манипулировать умами. И поток героина, который расцвёл в "независимом" Афганистане. Так что вякать на поддержку светского правительства не надо.

One way to measure the social conditions of society is by looking at the way women are dressed (forced to comport themselves in public). Notice how few burkas (draped all-body covers with only a grill to see out of) there are, at least in Kabul. There is one, here, 2:35 , obviously outside the city. .....In Kabul in 1987, however, it is quite apparent that a headscarf was sufficient (is that true today?), and, here, 01:39 , are two women with NO head covering whatsoever (the woman in the light-blue jacket, and the woman behind her, with the fur-lined dark-blue coat). This woman or older girl, off to the left in the pink jacket, I don't think is wearing ANY head covering ( 03:06 ). And, quite remarkably, considering she is in a room full of men, and the only female present apparently, this female teacher has her head completely uncovered ( 03:15 ). Now, I've never been to Afghanistan; so those of you who have, will have to help us understand. Is it, now, considered okay for a woman teacher to be teaching a room full of men without even a headscarf -- even in Kabul at the present? Have you seen women walking around outdoors in any part of Kabul without ANY head covering even since the Taliban were ousted by the American-led coalition in 2002?

The whole and from what I learnt the majority of Afghanistan was not like this though. That specific burka has a long history in Afghanistan and I think was there in the Pre Islamic era. Even in the recent years in Afghanistan (well rn things are changing due to Taliban again) not everyone in the public sphere covered their head in the media or events. One of the backlash for Communsim was the takeaway of religion. And Afghanistan was religious and something the Soviets should've known (if they didn't).

Communists were defeated and thrown out of many parts in whole South Asia, whether it be Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh or Nepal. Their existence is ruined. The KP Oli government in Nepal is Maoist and not Communists. Communists = Pro-Russia and Maoists=ProChina So basically.. Right wing has won everywhere.. Whether it be a good amounts of seats won by BJP in India in 1989.. Or the complete radicalisation of Bangladeshis and announcing Bangladesh as a Muslim country. Right wing has unfortunately won over communists in every region so far. Some parts of India are the only regions in South Asia where communism exists..
I’m guessing this is during the Soviet Occupation
