Afghanistan is Patrilineal Society. All offsprings have equal rights under the law whether it is ineritance or name. The Seraj title which was derived from the Royal title of Amir Habibullah Khan "Seraj-ul-Millat wa deen", light of nation and religion, was adopted by all the children of the King in 1953. It was not given by HM King Amanulah Khan. The children of the first Crown Prince Sardar Enyatullah Khan, whose mother was also a consort from Tagao, took the same sir name of Seraj. Only King Amanullah's children took the name of d'Afghanistan, as was the norm in Europe to identify the heritage of the family.
Therefore, please stand corretcted that in Afghanistan all children of the King bears Royal titles. The title of Sardar is given to all members of the Mohamadzai tribe. Again this was not given by HM King amanulla Khan.
Before irresponsible and misleading statements are made, the writer must educate himself on the norms and cultures of the Nations in question.
