A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the life and legacy of Ahmad Shah Durrani, the 18th-century founder of the modern Afghan state. They delve into his rise from a young commander in Nadir Shah's army to the election as king of the Pashtun tribes in 1747. The conversation covers his nine invasions of India, including the pivotal Battle of Panipat in 1761, where his forces defeated the Maratha Empire. They discuss his role in consolidating Pashtun tribes under the Durrani dynasty, his administrative reforms, and the cultural flourishing under his rule, including patronage of poetry and the construction of the mausoleum in Kandahar. The episode also touches on the contested legacy of his empire, which stretched from Khorasan to the Indus, and the questions it raises about state-building in the region.
