Parent information is incorrect

Dost Mohammad Khan was a Pathan/Pakhtun speaker and Ahmed Shah Massoud was a TAJIK/Persian speaker, they are not related in any way. Please correct this mistake as it leads to disinformation for students/readers wanting to learn about history.

Would like to add a reliable citation for the page.

The line "A street in New Delhi, India, is named after Ahmad Shah Massoud. It is the first time that such an honour has been extended to a leader from that country as part of close ties between Afghanistan and India.[citation needed]" is missing the citation as of now. Would like to add a source for this from MEA, India(Link) Rupz0 (talk) 10:33, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
