If people call yourselves Muslims you would know the FACT that all humans are the sons of Adam (Tajik, Pashtun, Jew, Hazara...etc). Calling a Muslim a hindu is pathetic.Ahmad Shah Durrani was a great man that achieved so much, more than what any of your imbicils could ever dream of. FYI Ahmad Shah Durrani was born in Herat which is backed by many German/Indian/Persian/Afghan scholars/historians. Isnt it even more sad to say that a Jew/Hindu rules over me if you consider Pashtuns as such? LOL

Corrections:

1. Ahmad Khab Abdali was born in Multan.

2. Herat was inhabited by Persians (Tajiks) until 150 years ago.

@hamid954 the Persians took it back, along with half of Khorasan province.

Mashad was never stable under Afghan rule as its people were not Afghan.

The King of high rank, Ahmad Shah Durrani,

Was equal to Kisra in managing the affairs of his government.

In his time, from the awe of his glory and greatness,

The lioness nourished the stag with her milk.

From all sides in the ear of his enemies there arrived

A thousand reproofs from the tongue of his dagger.

The date of his departure for the house of mortality

Was the year of the Hijra 1186 (1772 A.D.)[3

Long Live The Afghan King & LionHeart!
