Khorasan had some rich history and culture but it's just unfortunate we have forgotten about it. Culture and history should be at least remembered if not maintained but aren't we Tajiks losing our heritage day by day? It makes me sad how many Tajiks here speak English with their kids and don't even regret their kids are unable to speak Persian.

Dearest Madina Jan,
as long the new Tajik generation take care and are interested on their heritage, our roots can not be forgotten. Look, the Europeans, specially France, has a very strong interests on Central Asia´s countries and their history. Day by day they pay and support archeologists from France and Europe but also Afghanistanis to discover Tajiks, Hazars and Uzbeks not yet forgotten heritage.
