Who are the Taliban?
Taliban is an Islamic fundamentalism and terrorist organization largely founded by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in 1994. The ISI uses the Taliban to establish a regime in Afghanistan which would be favourable to Pakistan.
The Taliban is known for effecting a cultural genocide by seeking to establish puritan Islamic rule through harsh enforcement of the medieval Sharia law. Under their rule, all forms of recreation activities like music, cinema, sports, etc are banned and people do not have fundamental rights. Women are forbidden from schooling and have to cover their body from head to toe in burqa. They are used as sex slaves by the Taliban men.
