Afghanistan`s First Olympic Medalist Rohullah Nekpah "Pride Of The Nation" - HazaragiTV نیکپا اولین مدال تاریخ افغانستان را برد

Kabul: An Afghan Hazara Taekwondo star, Rouhullah Nikpah, made history when he defeated a Spaniard to win bronze, the first medal in Afghanistan's Olympic history.

Ruhullah defeated the two-time Taekwando world champion, Jaun Ramos, 4-1 in man's 58kg category at the Beijing Olympics on Wednesday. His victory has elevated Afghanistan to 60th place in the rankings according to the total medals won.

Reports indicate that President Karzai personally spoke to Nikpai on the phone to congratulate him on his historic victory. Karzai's spokesman announced that the president is going to award Nikpai and his family a house to live in.

Nikpai was born on June 15, 1987 in Tehran, Iran. He started his Taekwondo training under the tutelage of Ustad Humayoon Raza'ee when he was 10. Nikpai and his family returned to Kabul, Afghanistan after the collapse of the Taliban.

He has won numerous medals at the national and international levels, including medals in the South Asian Federation (SAF) Games. Nikpai was placed 2nd in World Taekwando Federation's qualifying event last year in Vietnam. He defeated the 2006 European Champion, Leven Tuncat, of Germany.

At home in Kabul, Nikpai works as a barber during the day. He does bodybuilding and Taekwondo training in the mornings and evenings respectively.

HazaragiTV congratulates the whole nation on Nikpais' historic victory, and wishes him more success in the coming future.

When a Hazara does something good everyone then asks for the name of one Afghan but when it comes to other things, Hazaras are not even accepted af Afghan, Hazaras have been descriminated against for ages and is still present, thats why showing that we hazaras want something better for Afghanistan we have to prove that we are doing good things, other than that we are never racist to Pashtoon, Uzbek or Tajik, We are one Afghan and we fight for one Country.

Pashtuns are winning awards after awards for Pakistan in a sport called cricket. Same thing is done in Afghanistan for cricketers in Afghanistan and even in other sports they are progressing. Please stop generalizing and let's try to move on and focus on our future. I admit Hazara's have through a lot, but by making Afghanistan proud they will show all those oppressors how wrong they were and that Hazara's aren't like then and nor racist. Try to understand, let past be past. Lutfan.

I hope you are 12 years old. No other person of a normal age would make such remarks in regards to Afghanistan and its people. You need to undrestand what a pride it is to be an Afghan first and then a Proud Hazara. We indeed have been looked upon diffrently in the past but our progress has changed the minds of most others. Thus makes us a proud group of Afghans. For you to belittle our Pride by stating uneducated comments about Afghanistan and the people, I shall not take. i give you -10
