Afghan Nobility

Afghan nobility refers to the traditional ruling classes and influential families in Afghanistan, historically holding power and land. This social structure includes various tribal leaders, wealthy landowners, and influential figures who often played key roles in governance and the military. The nobility has roots in Afghanistan's tribal system, where loyalty, honor, and lineage are significant. Over time, their power has fluctuated, especially during political upheaval. Today, while official titles may have diminished, many descendants of these families still hold social and cultural significance, impacting local politics and community leadership.
