Face of the Nation

Afghanistan is all atwitter over the release of the Bollywood movie "Kabul Express." It has been officially banned here and anyone caught selling, buying or owning a copy is subject to a 50,000 afs fine (equal to $1000 USD). A segment of the country's population is angry at how they are represented ... but before I get in to that, here's some context
Afghanistan is broken into 34 provinces and each province has a major ethnicity or tribe. The main tribes are the Pashtun and the Tajik and the smaller tribes are the Hazara and Uzbak. Taleban fighters are made up (primarily) of Pashuns, but not all Pashtun are Taleban. It is fairly difficult to distinguish the tribes from each other, but the most obvious tribe (in terms of looks) is the Hazara .. they are considered to have Monogolian-esque features … and as one lady put it “they have wrong noses.” (meaning their noses are a little wider ad squatter than their fellow countrymen. I have the impression that the people here identify with their tribe first, and then with their country. It would stand to reason since this is a country of long standing civil wars. But I digress ...
so in the movie, the Hazara believe they are depicted as poorly as the Taleban are depicted, (and even worse) as poorly as the Pakistanis are depicted ... if there is something that ALL Afghans agree on, it is that everything Afghan is superior to anything from Pakistan.
