A few of them studying in India recall era under oppressive regime
As the Taliban makes rapid advances along the countryside in Afghanistan, 26-year-old Maliha Rahimi fears an era of darkness will return . She had just started school when the U.S. ousted the Taliban in 2001 following the September 11 terror attacks. “Today, after two decades of tasting freedom, Afghan women and girls are again scared of a repeat of that dark era of confinement as the Taliban keeps capturing the countryside, and a large number of local people have been displaced to the big cities, where they feel it would be safer. I feel frightened,” she told The Hindu from her house in Kabul.
