It’s kinda sad that the Aral Sea is almost completely dried up, it’s one of the worst man made disasters. This was all the fault of Khrushchev, he ordered dams to be put on the rivers that gave the sea water, and to dig new canals to provide the rich cotton fields of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Now there’s nothing but some abandoned ships and the ground has a lot of salt, and because the Soviets experimented nukes and dumped waste into it the winds could pick up in that Area and give people cancer. The Uzbek and Kazakh governments have tried making some new canals, their way of saving it is to make the south sea bigger, and to do that they’re gonna kill the North Sea.

After the sea dried up, medieval ruins were found on the bottom, so it is probably remnant of an old glacial lake meant to to dry up in the end, just like green sahara. Still sad that it happened, and Khruschev certainly didnt help.

As an Iranian I can confirm this, we also call a whole other bunch of countries with -stân at the end: Hungary= Magyârestân Poland= Lachestân UK = Engelestân Serbia = Srbestân Saudi Arabia = Arabestân (without mentioning Saudi of course) Bulgaria = Bolghârestân Mongolia = Mogholestân India = Hendustân Armenia = Armanestân Georgia = Gorjestân Turkey = Torkestân (Nowdays we call it Torkiye) -Stân generally means "-stand" however Not all words with the -Stân at the end refer to places and regions, for example Zemestân & Tâpestân mean "winter" and "summer" respectively.

Due to its land locked nature, central Asia(at least the ex-Soviet part of it) served as an exile spot. Mainly during the Stalin era, ethnicities such as Germans, Chechens, Koreans etc. were deported in great numbers due to worries that they would collaborate with Nazi Germany/Japanese Empire.

I, as a tripster, certainly confirm the amazingness of Central Asia. Just toured the whole Uzbekistan, because my most ancient traceable ancestor was from Bukhara. - Delayed by Covid for 2 years, I was extremely happy that I finally made it. Read many books and articles before I went, learned an awful lot when I was there! • Tashkent is quite developed and life is very convenient, the Latinization of the alphabet is almost completed there; Fergana -- basically Russian built Margilan, is still strongly Cyrillic; • The indisputably great Bukhara and Samarkand, which make me wonder, are the people there Persianized Turks? (But to my great distress, Farsi (Persian) isn't even a recognized minority language in Uzbekistan.) • Karakalpakstan and of course the vanished Southern Aral Sea, and I'm telling you that the Shtya festival looks super dope but it would probably not be a good choice as my eyes were just full of tears just being there for a few minutes because of the salty air, it's an ecological catastrophe. - My ancestor, named Sayyid Ajjal Shams Al-adin Omar Al-Bukhari went to China with Kublai Khan, founding emperor of Yuan Dynasty and grandson of Gengis Khan, settled in China, became a governor (called King), wrote a great chapter for himself in the history of Yuan Dynasty and gave me this unique family name -- SAI. This trip also generated a Greater Iran nostalgia in me, combined with my thirst of the unbeaten tracks, led me to decide to go to Irak end of this year, and Persia soon.

Like forcefully marrying a man if he slept with u, giving thousands of privileges to women even at the same time saying they r equal, that is it, other than that they r liberal in like it's ok to do adultary as a woman, cheating ur husband, beating him, exploitating him for alimony and child support, abortion is legal, wearing bikinis in public is being admired by feminist celebrities and men r shamed for criticizing those. These r the liberal things that indians support but pakistanis Don't and that's also why indian family system is failing but pakistan's family is not failing. India has all the bad things u can have despite being a 3rd world country, u see all girls around making tik tok and being thots but then again the so called 'right wing' party BJP supports these whores for the sake of securing their votes . They gonna scream women r stronger than men then again they gonna force the husband to take care of spouse and child and also women here have right to abortion without the consetof their husband! yup, this is india.

In the classical Persian literary tradition - the entire vocabulary of which consists of stock phrases and images - "Turk' and 'Tajik' are stand-in terms for easily recognizable social stereotypes: one simple but violent; the other wily but civilized. Rūmi turns this on its head, however, in the following couplet: Attack upon attack came the darkness of night/Be strong like a Turk, not soft like a Tajik' (Yek hamleh va yek hamleh, āmad shab va tārīkī/chosti kon va "Torki' kon, na narmī va ‘Tājīkī'). Often ‘Turk' was also used to refer to the poet's beautiful young (unattainable) beloved, as in the following lines from Sa'di: 'Maybe they'll tell the King/"Your Turk (i.e., your Beloved) has spilled Tajik blood" (Shayad ke be padshah begüyand/Tork-e tö berikht khūn-e Tājīk), or elsewhere, 'Show your Tajik face, not Abyssinian black/That the Heavens may obliterate the face of the Turks' (Ru-ye Tājīkāna-t benmā, tā dagh-e habash/ Asman chehre-ye Torkān yaghma'i keshad). Since Turkic men often ‘married up’ and started families with Tajik women, the bloodlines tended to become increasingly mixed over the generations. (Recent DNA studies in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan have shown no notable genetic difference between modern Uzbeks and Tajiks.) And since children typically spent their first years within the harem, the influence of Tajik mothers in constructing the identity of their mixed-race children was surely much greater than is admitted in the patriarchal written sources of the time. Military figures in particular often made much of their tough Turkic heritage, even as they sought to demonstrate their own cultivation by speaking Persian and patronizing Persian courtly culture. The Tajik scribes, for their part, were naturally required to flatter their patrons, but they flattered themselves as well in whatever subtle ways they could. - Richard Foltz, Chapter 4, Tajiks and Turks, The Turk-Tajik symbiosis

This was exactly the ambition of the Muslim League following the creation of Pakistan. Only the name propsed at that time was 'Islamistan'. However Europe didn't approve of it, neither did the other Muslim nations concerned themselves as they saw clearly that the proposed Islamistan would be heavily dominated by the Punjabis & Pasthuns (an allegation levelled against the Pakistani establishment itself by Sindhis, Balochis & Muhajirs) & such astate would easily break down (like Yugoslavia).
