Welcome to NeoGandhara

NeoGandhara is reclaiming the lost legacy of the Pashtun world

We expose the erasure of Pashtun identity from the history of Gandhara, a civilization that once stood as a center of learning, language, and spiritual influence in Asia. We reject colonial labels such as Eastern Iranian that distort Pashto’s roots and Pashtun contributions. Through research, language revitalization, and historical analysis, we are rebuilding the cultural memory of a people whose story has been buried, misrepresented, or stolen.NeoGandhara is not a project of remembrance. It is a campaign of cultural correction.

Read. Question. Reclaim.

Decolonizing Pashtun history and Identity

There is a peculiar illness of the soul that afflicts conquered nations long after the conqueror has departed. It lingers not in the ruins or treaties but in the minds of the people; in how they think, what they worship, whom they praise, and what they forget. For the Pashtun people, whose lands span modern-day Afghanistan and Pakistan, this condition manifests as a defence of the very forces that sought to erase their names, silence their language, and reshape their dreams.

The Orchard Judge-Pashtun Jirga

The village was dry, humble, and stubborn. Much like the people it raised. Narrow dusty paths ran between crumbling mud walls and straw-covered roofs. The air held the scent of firewood, wool, and morning bread. At the heart of it all stood the mosque, a small structure of stone and silence.
