Kandahar Kandahar is the second largest city of Afghanistan which is located in Southern Afghanistan neighboring Pakistan. It was also the capital of Afghanistan before it was changed to Kabul in late 1700s. People in the city are mainly Pushtuns. Kandahar's history is old but is very interesting. In mid 1700s all pushtons in the region after suffering under puppet persian dynasty allied to destroy and demolish the monarchy and bring freedom to the region and so it happend after the Duranis from the west and Ghilzais from north and east attacked Kandahar they overthrew the puppet government. The whole persian Army fled the refion andwent to Herat which is currently Afghanistan's third largst city. The coward Persian army's defeat gave Pushtons more courage and then more and more people began joing Pushton Domination. They attacked and captured a massive land, They even captured the legendary Ghazni city. Now was the time when Persian were concerned and the persian king at that time Traitor Afshar tried to attack Kandahar but was failed miserably he lost alot of Army. Afshar died in action and Persian army fled from many cities such as Kabul, Herat and others and left them only to be capture by the brave Pushton commander or leader Ahmen Shah Durani. So this was how Pushton Dominatedalot of land. Pushtons attacked and captured parts of India, Iran and Soviet Union. Pushtons of Kandahar were also the people who brought Kohi noor the biggestpiece of Diamond in the World to Kandahar.
