Afghanistan’ is small minority of the world’s countries that have never known colonialism. It managed to do so because of the ferocity of its resistance, though its geographic location tempted many to annex and subdue it. Afghanistan’s patriotism can well be defined by the expulsion of invaders and occupiers. The country established a buffer between Russia and India, but the strong coveters had to stay far away after failed colonialization. We are faced with patriotic tenacity embedded in the country’s history, an unparalleled willingness to sacrifice, give martyrs and endure hardship. Do you think Afghanistan is the country with the most patriotic citizens ?
