Cultural overlaps with Pakistan? I'm afghan myself, and I'm telling you directly the ONLY people we share slight common culture are northwest Pakistanis, afterall we are also genetically not that far. Punjabis, Sindhis are miles away from us, however RECENTLY due to migration to Pakistan by afghan refugees, South asian culture such as Bollywood has become famous for afghans. Plus if we are talking about culture here, we share common cultures with iranians( nowruz, language, religion, ancient traditions) as well as central asians such as Tajiks and Uzbeks. The argument for afghanistan becoming part of South asia is ridiculous. In terms of POLITICS yes, afghanistan is classified as Middle Eastern but in some cases with South asia, mainly because of close ties with Pakistan but that's all.
