Introduction
Hindus and Sikhs have been living in Afghanistan for many centuries. The community has fled due to war in Afghanistan. Only handful of afghan hindus have left in Afghanistan, there is not enough contact with them to know how they are living under the strict rule of Taleban. Currently Afghan Hindus are living all over the globe including United States, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, India, and Pakistan. There is very little told about them in history books. We are not aware of any research done about Afghan Hindus, their origins, culture and languages.
