Kabul Express banned in Afghanistan

The much talked about movie in India filmed in Kabul, has been termed offensive towards one of the ethnicities, namely the Hazara. The movie has been banned in Afghanistan. Hazara people are believed to make up about 10 per cent of the Afghan population. A Shi’ite Muslim minority, Hazaras are thought to be descended from remnants of Genghis Khan’s invading army and have at times faced persecution.

Kabul Express charts a 48-hour journey by three journalists in post-Taliban Afghanistan. It opened to mixed reviews in India last month. The movie was inspired by director Kabir Khan’s numerous trips to the country after the Taliban regime was toppled in 2001. The producers of the film have apologized for the mistake and expect a positive approach from the Afghanistan government who were very helpful during the shoot.
