Gurdwaras, temples testatment to tolerant Afghanistan:

Four Gurudwaras and two temples in Kabul are a testament to war ravaged Afghanistan's tolerant and diverse society, Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma said today.
Speaking at the inaguration of a three day Indo-Afghan cultural festival, Sharma said said that the two countries enjoyed age old cultural and civilisational ties and deep- rooted linkages in the fields of music, art, architecture, language and cuisine which bind the people of these nations together.
"While exponents of Afghan classical music such as Ustad Sarahang were trained in the Patiala Gharana, the popular Indian music of bollywood resonates in Afghan homes," he said.
"The Gurudwaras and the two temples in Kabul itself are testament to tolerant and diverse society of Afghanistan", said Sharma.

The Indo-Afghan Festival includes cultural performances, handicrafts, exhibitions, cuisine and cultural shows from Afghanistan as well as India.
