In the past two decades, US and Russia's presence in Afghanistan has been evident. Both supported and used local terrorist networks like the Taliban to counter each other's influence in the region. Afghanistan's strategic location has sustained their Cold War rivalry, and it is likely to continue.

I was officially announced as the Representative of Afghan Youth to Asia during the inauguration of the Youth High Council by former President Ghani in 2021. One of my key contributions to Afghan youth is this book, written to educate and inspire them to recognize and unlock their true potential.

My co-authors, Dr. Anwar Khairee and Dr. Purnima Sharma, and I collaborated on this book to assist Indian students in learning the Pashto language through Hindi. We incorporated commonly shared Pashto-Hindi words to make the learning process more accessible. Currently, we are working on the second edition of this book.
