Peace be upon you..it is completely correct …You explained everything in detail
Another point is that from Indus to Euphrates they called the land of Persian people – It is better to know that the Afghan Pakhtoons were Persian tribes, Pakhto, the Persians of Belkhand, and another thing we should know is that a large group of them went to northern Iraq and Syria at the end of the Sassanid period, and a group also went to northern Iraq and Syria during the Barmakian period, and then they came to Lorestan in the fifth century.
In the conquest of Kandahar, Baloch, Bakhtiari, Pashto, Afshar and everyone participated – Ghani Khan Abdali was the most important person in Afshar's army and was highly respected by Nader Shah. He was Nader's brother-in-law and Ahmad Abdali's uncle. Nader respected him so much that when he was marching to Baghdad, he asked the Shiites for an army when we went to Baghdad. Don't do anything disrespectful to Abu Hanifah – A point that we should know is that Ahmad Khan Abdali was also loyal to Nader, and those who brought him to the throne were the Ghazal Bashans who remained loyal to Nader and actually made him Nader's successor to rule over all of Iran. He and his children called themselves the Shah of Iran. They read
Many Iranians from the western part of Iranshahr live in Kandahar and Kabul, and many Pashtuns also live in our Iran today. Even during the time of Fath Ali Shah Qajar, they once took Isfahan as prisoners
Hello dear author – Unfortunately, I see that you wrote in the article ( The final defeat of the invaders )I don't know how you can call Kandaharis as invaders, we can write whatever we want about Ashraf and Mahmoud's oppression, just like any other king, but they were Iranians and were not invaders. Do you think that if they were invaders, the people of Iran would have been the first to come and take Isfahan. ? Why could Osmani not do such a thing? It is better to know that there were many Kermanians and even Zoroastrians in the first army of Mahmoud. It is better to stop this unwanted enmity with our brothers. We are one people, one nation, and one country that is divided between us.
The text above is correct. They were from Duraki tribe and ancestors of Sardar Asad Bakhtiari, who, according to the order of Nader Shah Kabir, a significant part of them settled in Afghanistan, and their descendants are still living there.
