From my recent trip to Kabul: a photograph of my wife and I at Babur's renovated mausoleum. In the photo below, you can see the grave in the shadows.

    Wish you a Happy Gregorian New Year 2011! Looking forward to more interesting articles...articles which make the broader populace (?leaders as well) think why don't Army Aviation have well proven Attack choppers like the Cobra/Tiger/Apache? Why can't India have SAFER Jet Trainers avoiding talented pilot attrition for decades?? Whats holding the IA from sending LRRPs sabotaging chinese and pakistani border defence infrastructure - equipment?? Why does India get bullied into paying what the Russians demand - Gorshkov or PAKFA??

    Is 2011 similar to 1962? Are we gonna be stabbed from THREE (instead of ONE) Front(s)??

    Col Shukla,
    I suggest you should try and indulge yourself with some of the pashtoon intelectuals (Durranis at least) to see if they have ay memories of their Sanatan past. As per the chain they are descendents of Suryavanshi Rajputs and converted post one of their ancestor (King) went to Mecca around 750Ad (Caroe- Pathans).

    What are the Pashtoons in denial of their Buddhist past too ?

    Good time to indulge I guess in some great food.
    Enjoy
