Consider the following countries : 1. Azerbaijan 2. Kyrgyzstan 3. Tajikistan 4. Turkmenistan 5. Uzbekistan Which of the above have borders with Afghanistan ?

Lists Afghanistan as one of India's land neighbours in the northwest and notes India’s very short border with Afghanistan (80 km), placing Afghanistan in the south‑central/ south‑west Asian neighbourhood.

A student can place Afghanistan on a world/regional map (south‑central Asia) and check whether Azerbaijan lies adjacent to that same area or separated by other states/seas.

States India shares land boundaries with Afghanistan in the northwest, reinforcing Afghanistan’s location relative to the Indian subcontinent.

Use this relative position (NW of India) on a map to compare distances and intervening countries between Afghanistan and Azerbaijan.

Describes the Durand Line and British contacts beyond the Indus, indicating Afghanistan’s long land frontier with territories west of the Indus (modern Pakistan region).

Combine this with a map to see that Afghanistan borders Pakistan/Iran regions, which could lie between Afghanistan and any country farther west like Azerbaijan.

Mentions Shortugai (Afghanistan) in relation to the Indus civilisation and locates Sutkagen-dor on the Pakistan–Iran border, giving clues about Afghanistan’s proximity to Pakistan and Iran.

A student can use these placements to infer that Iran/Pakistan occupy land between Afghanistan and countries further west, and then check whether Azerbaijan is contiguous or separated by Iran/the Caspian Sea.
