what exactly do you think life was like in afghanistan pre-foreign interventionism?
Depends on the province, but if you read the book I linked you will have a depiction of life.
Kabul because of the soviet invasion attempt was largely left to be a psuedo comminist city. Educated class, women could dress modern but chaste, more hospitals and business, more secular government in the city.
southern largely agricultural, Kabul people were allowed and pretty unbothered traveling in southern afghanistan as it was taliban controlled, typically follow the rules of islam and you are good to visit family.
Visiting northern afghan was different as there was a war going on with the northern warlords vs taliban, non unified tribal governments and you have to deal with highway men unlesss you traveled with a family aligned with the area.
Outside of kabul, largely empoverished, sustinance living, still viewed movies on reels brought over from pakistan and/or india.
So very dated society probably very similar to 1880s US in terms of development, tech, healthcare and etc.
That said also relatively peaceful in kabul and in taliban held areas not along conflict zones.
