War and the Radicalization of Afghan Society in Maryam Mahboob’s Short Stories
The immediate impact of war in Afghanistan has been the radicalization of society. With the aim of reforming society and its institutions, the Democratic People’s Party of Afghanistan, a Marxist-or
Tarjomān or Interpreter, the first satirical newspaper and the emergence of modern satire in Afghanistan
With the ratification of a new constitution in Afghanistan in 1964, freedom of expression was allowed and a number of independent newspapers emerged, among them the first satirical periodical, Tarjomān or Interpreter. This paper explores Tarjomān's contribution to satire in Afghanistan, a critical genre in a closed society. Tarjomān not only published satirical pieces in traditional forms, but also introduced new forms, especially political carto…
The Rise and Fall of the Liberal Hezbe Watan or Homeland Party in Afghanistan, 1949–52
Afghanistan is largely known as a tribal peasant society, where the dominant organised socio-political forces are the tribes and the religious establishment, and where democratic and secular movements have been generally absent from the political scene. It is the tribal chiefs and the religious establishment that represent and mobilise people. However, liberal and constitutionalist movements in the country have had a relatively rich background si…
Pan-Islamism in Afghanistan in the Early Twentieth Century
The idea of pan-Islamism in Afghanistan emerged after the foundation of the Constitutional Party in the early 1900s. The party was an underground organization which had cells in an educational institution, the royal court and among the foreign group (Indians) employed in government departments. Pan-Islamism served to unite various political forces toward certain political and cultural goals. After the accession of Amanullah to the throne in 1919,…
Kabul University and Political Dynamics in Afghanistan, 1964–73
Kabul University was the first institution to undergo rapid politicisation during the Constitutional Decade (1964–73) of Afghanistan. The article explores how this educational institution, in a country with a very high rate of illiteracy, which also did not have a long tradition of modern education, soon transformed into a political hotbed which led to the emergence of Kabul University as the centre of Afghanistan’s political struggles in the 196…
The Pashtunistan Issue and Politics in Afghanistan, 1947–1952
After the 1947 Partition of India, the government of Afghanistan found an opportunity to reclaim the lands lost to British India as a result of the Durand Line Agreement in 1893. These lands, known as Pashtunistan, were annexed to Pakistan. The issue of Pashtunistan’s fate became the backbone of Afghanistan’s foreign and domestic policies. This article explores the reasons for the Pashtunistan issue’s significance to Afghanistan’s royal family an…
The Second World War and Political Dynamics in Afghanistan

It widened the power struggle between members of the royal family and introduced new players to the scene who, by fighting for their own interests, shaped the course of events. The paper looks at the main political issues which caused division within the ruling class, mobilized the educated …
Exile, gender and identity
The last two decades of the twentieth century witnessed the largest migration of the Afghanistani population in modern history. More than six million people migrated to neighbouring countries, and to North America, Europe and Australia. Among them were almost all of Afghanistan's female authors; some eventually returned, but others chose to remain in diaspora. Some stopped writing, while others have continued. Maryam Mahboob was the first Afghani…

Ethno-religious dynamics and the emergence of the Hezbe Seri Itehad (Secret Unity Party) in Afghanistan in the late 1940s
The Afghanistani government's discriminatory policies against its ethno-religious minorities from the late nineteenth century to the end of World War II brought widespread resentment, which resulted in many local revolts. After the war, these took on a different dimension and led to the founding of an underground political party, Seri Itehad (Secret Unity). The party was different from the other political parties of the time because its goal was …
