Abstract
Afghanistan is inhabited by 32.006 million people who are as per Afghan national anthem divided into 14 ethnic groups. These groups co-existed in history. Unlike the generic hypothesis prevailing since last three decades, ethnic patchwork of Afghanistan has all the potential to act as a bridge to good governance. It is a fact that ethnicity is an unavoidable aspect in Afghan society, but it has not trickled down to Afghan masses. The aspirations of Afghan population as a conflict ridden society are to get good governance followed by peace. Neither they have separatist aspirations nor do they have contention over resources. Taking this position in this paper, it is established that there are couple of uniting factors in Afghan society which can pose as contributing factors to convert Afghan ethnic patchwork to good governance in Afghanistan. The conversion accentuates upon moving the policy from paper to practice which is very vital to create a Pan-Afghan vision. This would ultimately lead to rejection of politicization of ethnicity and will address the local concerns and linguistic issues in Afghan fragile democracy.
