Ground Report | New Delhi: Life under Taliban rule; With the establishment of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, on the one hand, the market for international diplomacy is hot and on the other hand, the life of a common man inside the country has changed drastically.
Life under Taliban rule
In Afghanistan, the burqa is not currently mandatory for women, but the majority of women have started wearing the burqa out of fear and negative reaction. The Taliban have strict Islamic ideologies and their government has no concept of free or western dress. In the picture, two women with their children are buying old clothes in a market.
Prohibition on shaving
The Taliban has ordered that barbers not cut their beards. The law has just been implemented in Helmand Province. It is unclear whether this will be implemented nationwide. Men’s beards were also banned during the previous Taliban regime from 1996 to 2001.

Taliban rule in the streets and bazaars
Immediately after the Taliban’s invasion of Kabul and other parts of the country, there was chaos, but now things are under control. The markets are buzzing. This is the old part of Kabul city, where there is a rush of buyers and shopkeepers. But at the same time, the Taliban are everywhere, carrying guns and if nothing happens to them, they intervene immediately.
The situation of women’s rights is unclear
Whether it is pictures or advertisements outside beauty parlors, the Taliban do not accept such pictures of women at all. Such images have been removed or hidden from across the country. The situation of women’s rights has been particularly unclear since the arrival of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Women were also tortured during some demonstrations.
Girls missing from secondary schools and universities
The Afghan Taliban have allowed girls to study in primary schools, but girls have not yet started going to secondary schools. Even in primary schools, boys and girls are seated separately with curtains. After much criticism, the Taliban had issued a statement a few days ago that a decision on the return of girls to secondary schools and universities would be taken soon.
Girls are also absent from the playgrounds
Cricket is also popular in Afghanistan. In this photo, children are playing cricket in Kabul’s Chaman Hosari Park. Women are not allowed to participate in any sport. Women athletes have fled the country and taken refuge in other countries.
