Abstract
In the politico-strategic perspective, Afghanistan is
considered one of the most difficult and challenging
countries in the world. Its fragmented society is a major
hurdle in the way of its nation building and state
formation. With its multi-ethnic and multi-linguistic
groups, it is a complicated country on the global map. In
this situation, it can be imagined that the internal peace
is linked with the lowest credibility of the Afghan
warlords, unpopular and corrupt leadership, and the
centuries old traditional legacy. Resistance against the
social and political order has remained the core feature
of Afghan society. Throughout its history, several internal
and external players have been involved in their game of
interest. Now-a-days, these warlords are involved in
tactical and vicious alliances due to which they have lost
their ideological reasoning. This paper is an attempt to
critically analyze the situation of this country and to
present an insight of the overall situation.
Key words: Geo-strategic location, destabilization, social order,
transitional phase, political elite
