Cover your bald head or else it may start raining. :) Don't beat against the sandalI, it might rain. (sandalI is a popular means of keeping families warm in winter. It consists of a wooden squaretable about 40cm high covered with a big cotton quilt, and charcoal fire under neath in brazier.) Don't click the scissors, it brings about a fight. Don't look at the new moon in the face of a child, he may fall down. He has got up from his left side, (It is said to those who look anxious, unhappy, and grim-faced). I bit my tongue, someone must be backbiting on me. If the comb falls down a guest will come. If water (from a bowel) spells out with a sound, it means that some guest will come. If you arrive somewhere at a time when others are just starting their meals it means that you mother-in-law likes you very much. If you draw lines on the ground you will be in debt.

http://www.iexplore.com/dmap/Afghanistan/History

Extractions: From AD50 onwards, Buddhist culture was established in Afghanistan, under the rule of the Kushans, which lasted until the turn of the fifth century (the famous giant statues of Buddha destroyed by the Taleban in 2001 dated from this period). By AD550, the Persians were once again the dominant power in the region. Yet a far more important influence, which emerged around this time, was Islamic religion, introduced by Arabs and supplanting the existing dominant Zoroastrian creed. During the 10th and 11th centuries, under the Ghaznavid dynasty, Afghanistan became a major center of Islamic power and civilization. Their rule finally was brought to an end by the Mongol warlord, Genghis Khan, who invaded in 1219. The Mongols destroyed most of the sophisticated irrigation system (traces of which can still be seen today), which had rendered much of the country highly fertile and prosperous; the majority of it was turned into - and remains - permanent desert.

As a result, many treasures and artifacts have been discovered and collected. The Kabul Museum, housed the most comprehensive record of Central Asian history. Many of its pieces have been dated as far back as pre-historic times. One of the museum's largest displays, was the magnificent Bagram Collection. Discovered in 1939, by archaeologists excavating a Kushan fort, it contained an amazing 1,800 pieces from India, Rome, Greece, Egypt, and Central Asia. The Kabul Museum also had one of the largest displays of Greek and Roman coins found near Kabul. This collection was a historical treasure, as it contained coins from numerous civilizations dating from the 8th century B.C. to the late 19th century. This figure of Maitreya and worshippers from Paitava, stands 25 cm tall. This piece is from the 3rd Century and represents an orientalized Roman sculpture.

Extractions: CULTURE Most Emiratis are Sunni Muslims subscribing to the Maliki or Hanbali schools of Islamic law. Many of the latter are Wahhabis, though UAE Wahhabis are not nearly as strict and puritanical as the Saudi variety; the UAE is probably the most liberal country in the Gulf but it is still very conservative by Western standards. There are also smaller communities of Ibadi and Shiite muslims. The oddest thing about the UAE's population is that only 500,000 of the 2 million people living in the country are UAE citizens; the rest are expatriates from other Gulf countries, and from Pakistan, Iran and India. Arabic is the official language but English is widely understood. In Dubai, you can also get by practicing your Farsi, the Persian language spoken in Iran. Urdu is spoken by the large number of Pakistani expatriates living in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Extractions: Carla Garapedian, producer/director of the Dispatches programme, Lifting the Veil , assesses how far life has changed for women in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban regime Whack ! The soldier's baton hit me hard against my back, knocking out any illusions I had about women's progress here in Afghanistan. Are women better off now? In our journey across the country, we found women still fearful of being punished if they don't wear their burkas, if they speak without permission from their male relatives, if they venture out into the workplace. After decades of civil war, many are wary of the new government, which is sending mixed messages about what they can and can't do. Permission required In Kabul's women's prison, many of the conditions have improved since the Taliban's downfall. But the cells are nearly full again; women are still being incarcerated in violation of their basic human rights for crimes such as travelling without being accompanied by a man or marrying without their families' permission. 'It's wrong to say it was just the Taliban that pressed for the introduction of a radical version of Islamic law. This has always existed in Afghanistan,' says Martin Lau, an expert in Islamic law at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies.

The huge statue of great Buddha in central parts of afghanistan and also other ancient pieces of art and culture are the memorials of those days.
http://www.afghan-network.net/Culture/mati4.html

Extractions: AFGHAN`S SHARE IN INDIAN ART AND CULTURE Afghanistan and Hindustan (presently India) were two neighboring countries just more then half century ago. Before the partition of subcontinent, Afghans and Indians had a frequent exchange of business and cultural activities. According to famous Indian writer and Afghan affair specialist Mr. Manohar Singh Butra, close relations between Afghans and Indians remained a vital and glittering point in regional history. Because Afghans had played an important role in promotion of Indian art and culture. Mr. Manohar is absolutely right, because one can find the glimpses of Afghan architecture speared all over the Indian Territory. According to historians, When Afghanistan was called ARYANA, both Afghans and Hindus were sharing a common culture. Similarly when Arian ruled the said region and the region was called Gandahara, in those days both Arian and Indians were sharing the same faith, system and traditions. The huge statue of great Buddha in central parts of Afghanistan and also other ancient pieces of art and culture are the memorials of those days. Similarly in Indian books of Sanskrit version have also mention Balkh of Afghanistan as a great place of learning. This is worth mentioning that a number of words are being used in both Afghan and Indian dialogues. Indian history believe that in nineteenth century when most of the Asian nations were chained in slavery, Afghans stood against alien rulers and not only thought a lesson to those foreigners but also wrote a history of freedom and self-determination. Afghans are also consider the pioneers of democracy, because centuries before of the western democracy, Afghans were solving their disputes through the democratic way of Jerga and which is still a practicable way. Indians are also so much grateful to Afghan for their fight against English empire because when Afghan got their freedom the other nations including Indian were rose against their rulers and it last they also got liberation.
