Bilal Zadran 🇦🇫 :
Dear Shabnam, I hope you take the time to read my message in the spirit in which it is intended. As someone who was born and raised in Kabul, Afghanistan, I want to clarify something regarding the word “Landaghar” (لنده غر). Throughout my life in Kabul, I never understood or witnessed this term being used as a racial or ethnic slur specifically against Tajiks. In the context in which I grew up, “Landaghar” was generally used to describe a person who was perceived as a thug, troublemaker, or someone who was idle and irresponsible. It could refer to young men who wandered the streets and harassed ordinary people or girls going to school, children who neglected their responsibilities, or even a husband who refused to work and provide for his family. In other words, it was a description of a person’s behavior or character, rather than a term directed at an entire ethnic group. I heard it used toward people from different ethnic backgrounds—Tajiks, Pashtuns, Hazaras, and others. That does not mean that the word could never have been used in a particular context with ethnic or discriminatory intent. Context matters, and I would not dismiss someone else’s personal experience. However, it is important to distinguish between a derogatory term describing an individual’s behavior and a racial or ethnic slur targeting an entire community. Based on my own experience growing up in Kabul, “Landaghar” was not understood as an anti-Tajik slur. I am sure you are an educated and well-informed person, which is precisely why I would encourage looking at the broader linguistic and historical context before assigning an ethnic meaning to a word. There are also other derogatory expressions that have been used between different ethnic communities in Afghanistan and which deserve the same level of scrutiny. For example, “Mush Khor” (موش خور, literally “mouse eater”) has historically been used as a derogatory term toward Hazaras, and the expression can still be found in online discourse today. The words themselves are Dari/Persian: mush means “mouse” and khor means “eater.” If we are going to examine discriminatory language in Afghanistan,

In Dari, particularly in the Kabul dialect, the word Ghar refers to a shameless person."

I'm Tajik 👑🫠 :
So the people who fight for their rights, freedom and education will be called by the Pashtuns (Landaghar) just to be insulted and bullied so they don't continue their way.

Hey! This was never a racial slur for Tajiks or anyone or at least I have never ever heard it used for Tajiks. It just means lazy and someone who’s always going out (I speak Pashto at least that’s what it’s used for in my family)

Ghar is more of Dari than Pashto. There are plenty of references for Ghar which I think ultimately means shameless. GharNuma/yee is another reference to shameless, classless or borderline prostitute like. Also, the word Landa perhaps switched pronounciation or evolved throughout time…. It could possibly be derived from Lunda with a U or O…. Which is a male reference to prostitution….

In some parts of Ghazni Afghanistan (where I grew up) we refer to a person that doesn't do anything all day every day apart from going up and down bothering other people around. لنده غر= مردم آزار

Masud :
«لنده» = مردی که رابطهٔ نامشروع دارد و «غر» = زن بدکاره، ترکیب «لنده غر» می تواند به صورت عامیانه به زن و مردی که با هم رابطهٔ نامشروع دارند یا یک زوج غیرمشروع اشاره کند

In Iran it is used as “لنده خر (Lanedeh Khar)” if Landeh means without tail then it would mean the donkey without tail.
