Abstract
The article presents a critical review of VoA Deewa Radio, a Pashto language
radio started by the US following the Afghan war in the year 2001 to combat the
Taliban ideological propaganda in the Af-Pak regions. It is argued that the radio
has specific designs of persuasion and propaganda to counter the Taliban’s
narrative of the War on Terror in the region. This study employs qualitative
methodology of interpretive analysis to examine the VOA Deewa programs and
agenda and link it to the wider discursive pattern of war and US positioning in
the minds of populace.
