NeoGandhara is reclaiming the stolen legacy of Afghanistan

NeoGandhara is a journal of remembrance, resistance, and return. It rises from the wounded soul of Afghanistan and carries the breath of Gandhara in every word. It speaks through Pashto and Dari not as instruments of ethnicity or empire, but as vessels of memory. This is not the poetry of Persian courts or the fiction of colonial borders. It is the voice of exiles, mystics, ruined temples, and unburied truths. NeoGandhara is not a blog. It is a return to the inner homeland, where silence remembers and language resists.

Read. Question. Reclaim.
