@Ali_Syed

Afghans - Afghani is their currency

Agreed. Sir thanks for correcting me. By the way, correct designation of Afghan currency is Afghan Afghani.

Again, Afghani can be used for anything relating to Afghanistan e.g., her people, culture, languages and yes, its currency

1. Afghan | Define Afghan at Dictionary.com

2. Afghanis - definition of afghanis by The Free Dictionary

3. Afghani - Wikipedia

Thanks once again.

BTW, historically what could have been the exchange rate? Were Afghan currency stronger than Indian currency? They normally invaded our part of world and transferred Indian assets to Afghanistan from here to their country (Mughals being exception, but even we hear that Babar also built gardens in kabul after he defeated Lodhis).

Babar defeated Arghuns at Kabul in 1504-5 and Lodhis at Panipat in 1526-26. And yes, the construction of "Bagh-e-Babar" or The Garden of Babar was started after his victory over Lodhis, probably in 1528-30.

Any idea about the valuation of Afghan currency (against Indian currency) during Mughal era.

Was that at par (equal to Indian currency) or the exchange rate concept is a new one?

Just a though: Would a partition like India-Pakistan between Pashtun and Non-pastun will be good for Afghanistan?
