Afghan intelligentsia

Afghan intelligentsia refers to the educated elite in Afghanistan, including scholars, writers, teachers, journalists, and professionals who contribute to cultural, intellectual, and social discourse. They often play a vital role in shaping national identity, advocating for progress, and critiquing government policies. Historically, this group has faced challenges due to political instability, conflicts, and restrictions on free expression, but they remain important voices in Afghan society, promoting education, reform, and the preservation of cultural heritage amidst ongoing societal struggles.
