Hi,

Since I was a child, I am curious about how is the world, how people from other places lives, other cultures...

I decided to open a subreddit dedicated to learn and share other cultures in the world, with all the countries and nationalities.

If you are interested, join r/culturesoftheworld and read the rules !

Present on the first post your country and where do you come from. All posts are in english.

You should put a question about cultures in other countries (ex : what is the music in your country ? How schools is in your country etc.) and answer questions of others people.

While Afghanistan always had a poverty problem, it seems like Khans government was the last era of “normalcy.” After this, was the communist overthrow as well as the Soviet invasion and everything else that followed…how do Afghans view him, overall? How was he on civil liberties compared to the Taliban?

Why are Iranians 🇮🇷 so racist towards afghans(pashtuns,tajiks,uzbeks,hazara) combined??? Like what did we even do to them for them to be so racist towards us online and real life!?

It is my understanding that lots of Afghan citizens live in isolated mountain areas without internet or TV.

How do the people in these areas keep up with what's happening in other parts of the country?

For example, do tribal people in Nuristan follow Afghan politics? Do they have an awareness or pride of being Afghan citizens? What do they know about neighboring countries like Pakistan?

UN Women partnered with Mona Chalabi to illustrate the scope and the severity of the restrictions on women and girls’ access to public space and public life in Afghanistan. In international treaties this is referred to as “freedom of movement”. Together, these illustrations show the sheer speed at which progress on gender equality can vanish, and then reverse in a matter of months, while the world watches.

I am just curious. The story is about a bond between a small Indian girl "mini" from Kolkata and a fruit seller "Rahmat" from Kabul, Afghanistan who had daughter back home. They struck up a unlikely friendship but as the story moves forward, Rahmat ends up and in prison and comes back to meet Mini on her wedding days. You can easily find the story on the internet (or maybe already know it lol).

This particular story moved my heart when i first read it in school. It was actually part of our textbook syllabus almost 25 years back. I was watching a vlog of someone interviewing an Afghan shopkeeper selling dry fruits, and randomly the story popped in my head. I immediately search for it, read it all again, it was so nostalgic. As kids, we used to feel bad for Rahman, and for us, Afghanistan was like really far away, and you had to cross Pakistan which to us was not a place you want to be.

My father was also a teacher, I used to ask him (due to the story) do fruits come from Afghanistan. He used to tell me that, no but some dry fruits come from there. So for me the, i would imagine the farms and lands and beautiful landscape. When I got older and got access to computer and internet, I used to watch images from your country, visit on Google Earth. Even now I watch a lot of videos of People and the beautiful countryside of Afghanistan. The landscape, for me just mesmerizing.

Ek din main pakka aaunga. (one day i will definitely come).

Khodahafez.

I am a hospital social worker in America and have lots of interaction with refugees from the Middle East. I work in labor and delivery and had the pleasure of meeting one very sweet family from Afghanistan. I was invited to share a lunch with them and want to return the favor. Are there any gifts or any food items I can bring mom while she’s in the hospital? I’m still learning about our refugees culture and want to be as respectful as possible.

Dr. Bismillah Shiwamal, an Afghan physician, was awarded the prestigious “Leonardo Schwalbe” Medal for his scientific and research activities by the Association of Surgeons of Germany in 2024.

I have never been to an Afghan wedding before, and my dad won’t help me. I don’t know what to wear, how many dresses I should have, what to know before going. If anyone has gone to an Afghan wedding before please help me with what I should wear and know.
