The film 'Kamienna cisza' (The Stone silence) directed by Krzysztof Kopczynski describes the events surrounding the execution a woman (the information provided by the BBC spoke of stoning her to death), accused of infidelity in Afghanistan in 2005. The makers of the film try to reach the truth of what exactly happened and why, but the truth, on various levels, remains vague. The author of the text maintains that the most interesting part of the film, is the portrayal of the other family, the parent of Karim (a single man engaged in the relationship with the woman concerned), who by refusing to accept the judgment pronounced by the community on their son, are forced to deal with all kinds of sanctions. It is a portrayal of a family dealing with a crisis of values, shown on the edge, a borderline of conflicting norms and laws, and on the borderline of the local and the global.

The author presents a wide background of the conflicts that have taken place in Afghanistan since the Soviet invasion up to the contemporary times. He describes the syndrome of the so called Afghan pot and its implications. Moreover, he reveals alternative attempts to resolve the conflict in a peaceful way as well as a military one. The aim of the article is to answer the question whether the international peace keeping forces can be effective in pacifying the main hotbed of the global terrorism, which radiates from Afghanistan to the whole world and is a real threat to peace and stability. It is absolutely crucial for the allied forces to draw conclusions from the previous failures. The author used a theoretical analysis of works selected from the bibliography.

The Nangar Khel incident took place when a patrol of the Polish soldiers from the elite 18th Airborne-Assault Battalion fired four shells from a 60 mm mortar at the Afghan village, resulting in the deaths of six civilians, including a pregnant woman and a child, and seriously injured three other civilians. On July 6, 2008, prosecutors ended the investigation and sent an indictment against two officers, two non-commissioned officers and three privates to the Court, accusing them of committing a war crime of unlawfully targeting civilians in a reprisal. The trial began in February 2009. The Author had taught humanitarian law to the accused soldiers during preparations for the mission and also claims that they are innocent.

Indians in Afghanistan and Pakistan, although lucky to live in the neglected neighbourhoods, are victims of the hostile and discriminatory state persecution and local environs. Historically acknowledged as one of the centres of Indian civilization, where Buddha himself had travelled, Afghanistan has substantially differed from India in recent times. People of Indian origin in Afghanistan are now dwindling and diminishing, and their conditions are palpable and precarious. Across the Hindukush, Pakistan, the very heart of India till the mid-20th century, holds the dubious distinction of persuading an intolerant approach towards India since its creation. A professed Islamic state, Pakistan’s prejudice towards minorities, even against some Islamic sects, is reflected even in its constitution. Created after an artificial vivisection, it shed its secular character rather too soon to embrace Islam. Immediately after the vivisection, all non-Islamic living mortals, especially the Hindus and Sikhs, in the country were designated as unwanted. Not so long ago a cherished land of Hinduism and Indian civilization, Afghanistan and Pakistan are now nightmares for persons with Indian roots. The author has analysed three basic issues. Firstly, the paper discusses India’s intimate civilizational contacts with the region and how the course of history has changed over a period of time. Secondly, the paper tried to identify those catalysts, which were responsible for the abrupt and indiscriminate mutation of the hard-core ideologies in Pakistan and Afghanistan that has dislodged India from the two countries. Finally, the paper sheds some limited light on the contemporary time and events which have had a bearing on the changing history of Asia.
