Today, we shed light on the war that created Pakistan’s military deep state with our guest, Mr. Salman Javed, Director of the Pak-Afghan Youth Forum. In this episode, we discuss the historical issues of the Soviet-Afghan war and Pak-Afghan relations.
We explore Russia's initial alliance with Afghanistan, the significance of the Durand Line, and the deterioration of Russian-Afghan relations. We also discuss the conflict between Islam and communism, the proxy war between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and the role of religion in this context. Discover how Zia-ul-Haq used the Afghan war to bolster Pakistan's military, the birth of the military deep state, and modern-day relations between Russia and Afghanistan.
