As per my view, yes media have to show true afghan and please don’t misuse their culture, media have to think about Afghan and represent their positive behavior, positive culture, their festivals etc.
Next answer is yes our education department has to think about Afghan history. For a long time we are culturing on British history but now we have to involve in afghan history.
And last answer is they face a lot of problem in Delhi because our rules culture and everything is differing from Afghan.
