Abstract

 The paper attempts to explain Afghanistan history and throws light on the Afghanistan geo physical location. Defines Afghanistan as a land of stark and rugged beauty of snow-covered mountains, barren desserts and rolling steppe lands. Situated at the eastern end of Iranian plateau. It covers some 250,000 square meters. Several mountains are among the highest in the world. Afghanistan is a land locked country, with frontiers that were mostly demarcated towards the end of the nineteenth century. To the north its borders with the Republic of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and to Turkmenistan run for some thirteen miles, westwards from the Pamir, along the Amu Darya and then across country to the Hari Rud, the river that marks the northern end of its frontier with Iran. In the northeast is a border with China which run the so called Durand Line, the frontier that divides the Afghanistan from the Pakistan. The Afghan Iranian borders runs north wards, until it meets the Hari Rud. The paper also explains the origin of the people who inhibit in this high country and diverse, as they are often obscure. Although there has been much intermingling over the centuries, they still have disturbed ethnic, physical and linguistic differences. Recent estimates suggest Afghanistan population as twenty million divided into twenty or so many ethnic groups. However these groups have got divided themselves into clans and tribes numbering in thousands. Each tribe is based on patrilineality and often is localized to various degrees. However, there are certain tribes that remain scattered or are folk; bound living in different areas of Afghanistan
