LOL please read up about him from allsources before you get yourself excited;;;
He was just as reponsibe for the destruction of Kabul as the rest - he rained rockets down on Kabul as did Hekmmatyar and co.
His party have been involved in ethnic cleansing of pastuns, Uzbeks and Hazaras. Im glad he rescued thousands of hindus and sikhs but what abot the hundred thousands of non tajik afghanis that died? I forgot the Indian definition of ethnic cleansing does not apply when "allied" forces take part in it.
His party represented the Tajiks and a very small number of Pashtuns - still a very small minority yet they believe they should dominate Afghanistan.
So the Indians support unelected warlords - not really much of a surprise is it. A warlord is a warlord. Hikmatyar and Taliban are fashionably hated because they were Pakistan influenced. The Northern Alliance, Ismail Khan are seen as accepatble because they sold their souls to the indians ....:P
A.S.M died at the hands of Taliban does not mean that Taliban could win over him.Infact that started the complete downfall of Taliban.
A.S.M was a great person ,he was a humanitarian and an intellectual giant besides his bravery and a leader as a great militaryman.
It was A.S.M who rescued thousands of Hindus and Sikhs from the henchmen of Hekmathyar in 1993.
