The Impact of the 7th and 8th of Thor on Afghanistan and Afghan Nation
The Department of Public Activities at Salam University organized a significant academic seminar titled “A Glance at the 7th and 8th of Thor and Its Effects on the Afghan Nation.” The seminar took place on the 12th of Thor, 1403 at 10:00 a.m. The master of the seminar was Mr. Abdol Wahid, an eighth-semester student of the Faculty of Engineering. First, the program commenced with a beautiful recitation by one of the students of Engineering Faculty. Next, Respected Prof. Nasir Ahmed Navidi, the head of Salam University’s research center, delivered insightful remarks during the seminar. Mr. Navidi’s speech focused on the historical significance of the 7th and 8th of Thor in Afghanistan. Here are the key points he addressed:
1. The Coup of the 7th of Thor:
o The coup orchestrated by the People’s Democratic Party marked the end of the 67-year-old royal rule of the Zahir Shah family. It ushered in the Khalki system.
o The coup of 7th Thor, 1357 resulted in the destruction of the capital and triggered a profound political transformation in the country. This event led to the demise of Dawood Khan and 18 members of his family.
o The People’s Democratic system subsequently governed Afghanistan, attempting to impose its party ideology forcefully on the Afghan population.
2. Educational Infrastructure Impact:
o The coup of 7th Thor had devastating consequences for Afghanistan’s educational infrastructure. The destruction was nearly complete, leaving lasting scars on the nation’s educational institutions.
o Consequently, the Haft Thor coup is remembered as a dark day in Afghanistan’s history.
3. Zealous Afghan Nation:
o Professor Navidi highlighted the unwavering resilience of the brave Muslim nation of Afghanistan. Despite facing invaders, they steadfastly defended their religion and homeland with limited resources.
o Their sacrifices played a pivotal role in the eventual defeat of the Soviet Union on the 8th of Thor in 1371.
o However, the subsequent infighting among the Mujahideen over authority after victory prolonged Afghanistan’s war and diminished the strength of the zealous Afghan nation.
Finally, the program ended with supplication led by Prof. Wazir Mohammad Saeedi
