Gandahara is not the whole of Afghanistan, it's the land area of some of the provinces of Peshawar and Nangarhar. Kandahar is not the Gandahara you mentioned. We do have textbook history. And also British never ruled us but still they managed to control out foreign policy at the time of Emir Habibullah and Nadir Shah..

We've definitely been very respectful - unlike this comment. We didn't take advantage of anyone. Don't be insecure because "Gandhara" was mentioned - it was just a reference to what many in the sub-continent know it as from ancient history (not today)... there's nothing wrong with that!
