Kabuler Pathe Pathe by Panthajan [Hardcover]

"Kabul-er Pothe Pothe" is a poignant travelogue and socio-political memoir, chronicling the devastation and resilience of Afghanistan. Through the lens of a doctor, Panthajan, who spent nine months in the war-torn country, the book captures the stark realities of a nation repeatedly ravaged by foreign invasions, civil wars, and political upheavals. From the aftermath of the Soviet withdrawal to the horrors of Taliban rule and American bombings, the narrative sheds light on Afghanistan’s broken healthcare system, alarming child mortality rates, and the psychological trauma inflicted upon its people—especially women.

Yet, amidst the ruins, the book uncovers a powerful testament to human endurance. Despite suffering, Afghan people continue to live, to love, and to hope. Kabul-er Pothe Pothe is not just a tale of destruction; it is an evocative, deeply human account of survival against all odds.
