I was in south Africa for a business trip when my uber driver picked me up from my hotel. he turned out to be fro,m Afghanistan. he was well educated and we had a good discussion. he asked me few questions:

1. at this point almost every educated afghan hates pakistan even though we are muslim neighbors plus pak was our ally in russian war. why? why dont Pakistanis never think about it. Just to say that we afgans are kammenay ehsan faramosh will not get the right answer, he insisted

2. why has pakistan always sided with dark illiterate forces namely taliban since 90s?

3. his 3rd question was an interesting one: imagine if Afghanistan was 10 times larger than Pakistan, imagine if afghanistan had an agency like ISI and army as big as pakistan and Pakistan was a small country dependent upon Afghanistan, and Afghanistan army/ISI would have done everything to enforce animals like taliban upon Pakistan for its own strategic reasons and those taliban would have created a hell in pakistan, how would pakistanis feel about afghanistan?

i gave him some answers but i thought he made some good points. our amry/ISI needs to answer that after 40 years, why is afghanistan against us. it is 100% their failure as they controlled all those policies.

1. Afgans are against pakistsan from day - 1 not after agfan war. So they need to think and answer why

2. This is the so called strategic decision of our army think tanks to have a strong pro pak govt in Afgan. This to secure our borders on western side. However we invested on wrong horses. I dont think afgan is rulable by one group. There will always be a fight going on in afgan between various groups. Hence we will never be successful in achieving a strong pro pak govt in Afgan ( specially if u side line with one ethnic / religous group ) . BEing neutral is the option , we need to think and work but very difficult to achieve.

3. Offcourse , average pakistani will feel the same way as young afgan generation is thinking now. However at that particualr time , how a afgani at that moment will also think the same way as common pakistani thinking now. We get our country destroyed. Making millions of afgani wander through out pakistan. getting our passport and working in whole world at pakistani pass port while hating pakistna at the same time.
