As soon as Pakistan-Afghanistan friendship break up, there is India-Afghanistan friendship and so there is peace in Afghanistan. See the difference!

Heart touching! I hope the children get a shot at fair life.

Good to see smiles on Afghan children's face.

O my Lord! Bless them all with Peace in their Country. Ameen They have suffered a lot from decades.

Lover to see happy faces enjoying in peace. Lot of love from Pak.

These people have suffered for ages because of their and our wrong policies. I hope we see a peaceful Afghanistan in future.

Children's are the most beautiful creation of God and we should sacrifie our present for their future.

Good to see. This is what everyone wants to read about.

@Indian Christian dude, do you have nothing better to do than spreading anti Pakistan propaganda. Seems like you spend half of your day bashing Pakistan on Dawn. In every article I see your negative comments. It is the people like you who spread hatred. There is absolutely no difference between you an Taliban or other extremists. You share the same mentality with them.

@Indian Christian you are so obsessed with your anti pakistan slogans that even don't spare poor afghanis. May god help you to see the goodness out of all blues.

These Afghan kids are normal kids like others and have every right by birth to play, be educated and live happily. No body (Governments, armies, Taliban/Militants, nations, religions and parents too) should interfere with their basic and natural rights.

Good job done by govt of india. Lets put a smile back on their face.

what is so special about this children are anyway on merry go rounds set up in different places in different shrines festivals etc. So this is not something new.

A good omen for Afghani people, hopefully more normal life in future

@Saifuddin Takhtawala : your country is behind these poor afghans plight.. you were dancing on the tunes of western powers and devastated this country. at least show some remorse over it.

nice to see normal life starting in Afghanistan. Hope that Afghanistan becomes a peaceful and developing country.

this was constructed with Indian co-operation.

Its good to know children have this amusement park, and expect more and more are available across the country. Hope the region is free from sound of Bombs and Bullets and children grow in peace and tranquil space. We need to work beyond religion to bring peace and tranquility in the region.

@syed wasim haider Yet all of this is inspired by American culture..........Go figure.

this is the only reason why india should be influencing Afghanistan.

@Junaid though many times I don't agree with his views but here he is right, very right in comparing between difference India and Pakistan make in Aghan society.

I hope Afghan government wouldn't ban recreations like kite flying.

Good see Afghani kids enjoying in the Park, Why not Indians invest in more in amusement parks, indoor snow-parks, IMAX multiplexes, shopping malls in friendly nation Afghanistan ?

@jammu indian Just to put things in perspective. It's not Pakistan's fault if Afghanistan was invaded by the Soviets. It's not Pakistan's fault if after a decade of war, the Soviets left and the Afghans started a civil war on their own. It's not Pakistan fault if the Taliban did not extradited Bin Laden and therefore obliged the US to invade and therefore started another decade of war. @Indian Christian One thing should be clear, you CAN'T have peace in Afghanistan if the Afghan government is amicable with Pakistan, Ghani knows this, without Pakistan's consent and will, there can't be peace in Afghanistan. Indian is the secondary player here.

As Afghan off course we welcome such positive developments. In particular I am also glad to see so many positive comments by our immediate and next to immediate neighbours. We Afghans want good relationship with both Pakistan and India. I hope Indians and Pakistani would want the same between themselves and with us.

first amusement park?!!! such a sad situation.

Hey Kids Love For All

@Dr Carla :Charity begins at home.There are more than 400 million impoverished people in India. Feed them first and then build Imax cinemas in Afghanistan............

@Indian Christian First and second world wars were fought in Europe.

Very happy to see smiles on Afghan's faces. May Allah keep you smiling all the time.

Result of India's help to Afghanistan re-built program. India is helping Afghanistan to open schools, hospitals, roads, energy stations. while Pakistan is busy bleeding common people of Afghanistan by supporting talibanis. People of Afghanistan would not forgive the sins of Pakistan.

@ Indian Christian, dude Pakistan is home to more than 2 million Afghanis who earn their livelihood here. There was a time when our Afghan brothers used to bring us dry fruits and gifts from Afghanistan. But now the Indian agencies are busy spreading hatred against Pakistan in Afghanistan. Let me reproduce the Chanakya doctrine here for your convenience.. “your neighbor is your worst enemy but the neighbor of your neighbor is your friend“. This is the principle of Indian foreign policy at play in Afghanistan. Moreover, if it's this principle on which India is working in Afghanistan, i am afraid it will only lead to more bloodshed, whose fault will it be then ? Stop doing in Afghanistan what you tried to do in Sri Lanka.

:)

The less cross border terrorism by jihadi mullas, the more peaceful Afghanistan and Pakistan will be.

@Hassan You don't know economy, that is how money spins, do something for who can spend money that trickles down to poor people, That is how Indian poor entering in to middle class, we should take Afghans with us in progress.

@Junaid I agree with you in principle but what about Pakistanis who is spreading hatred?

They're gonna hear from our lawyers

God bless Afghans with peace and joy, it touches heart to see them smile..

@Awais ROTFL. You quoted Chanakya's doctrine in a negative light during your argument against India, without realising that he was based out of Taxila (which is in Pakistan) and probably would have been a resident Pakistani (if not a born Pakistani) by the time he wrote that doctrine. In one way you are mocking an achievement of your ancestor & blaming your neighbour for following his doctrines (not that your blaming means anything) which is so hilarious This is what happens when one forgets ones own history and descendance.

@Desi lad my ancestor Chanakya? Really?? ROTFL Regardless of where the guy came from, the fact remains that India is following a policy of achieving regional hegemony by undermining the interests of its neighbors. Case in point, India's unprovoked firing across our eastern border as soon as Pak Army launched its operation in North Waziristan.

My best wishes to Afghan brothers and sisters... Although there is a long way to go, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! May peace prevail forever...

Who said it was built by India.

@Indian Christian during the invasion of Afghanistan by Russian there was indian -Russian friendship and see the impact on whole world as India fails to condemn Russian invasion. Please take the 3 million afghan refugees which Pakistan is hosting since 1979 to India to show your friendship

@Indian Christian : Its about an amuzement park. For people from all walks of life to have fun and enjoy themselves. There is no need to bring your dirty politics here!

They are happy till someone declares Amusement Parks anti-Islam...Wish this never happens. God bless you kids.
