AFGHAN TRADITIONS

Afghans are mostly followers of the Islam religion. These highlanders have a tradition of music. Traditional as well as modern Afghan music is unique in appeal and is part of the celebrations. The people indulge themselves during the Nauroz celebration. Afghans are known to display a fierce loyalty to respective tribes. They believe that Islamic law permits every 'believer' to maintain arms when directed by the ruler. This requirement mainly springs from the geographical location and difficult living conditions in the mountains. They flaunt a very simple, but nourishing cuisine that comprises hand baked bread and meat or vegetable preparations. The food is rich and spicy, complimenting the climatic conditions. Their uncomplicated lifestyle has worked both, for and against the people. Several times, their friendly nature has been mistaken for a compromising attitude and has led to the current political conditions. On the contrary, the Afghans are quite a hardy lot and basically non-interfering. The geographical location of the country has made it a perpetual battleground, due to the war on terrorism, an evil that thrives in the mountains.
