The historical gurdwaras in Afghanistan are Gurdwara Bhai Nand Lal Goya (Ghazni), Gurdwara Guru Nanak Dev (Jalalabad), Gurdwara Baba Shree Chand (Kabul), Gurdwara Karteparwan (Kabul), Gurdwara Koth Sahib (Kabul), Gurdwara Kotha Sahib (Ghazni), Gurdwara Baba Nanak (Kabul), Gurdwara Guru Har Rai (Kabul), Gurdwara Khalsa Dewan and Chashma Sahib (Sultanpur).

Though most Afghan Sikhs who had fled to Pakistan, India and other countries have gone back to their native land, yet they are unable to re-construct their places of workship. Mr Partap Singh and Mr Nirmal Singh, both brothers from Kabul, said there was an urgent need to send a delegation of the SGPC to carry out a survey of the damaged Sikh shrines so that the rich heritage of the community could be saved.

Vice-Chairman of the National Commission for Minorities Tarlochan Singh said he would take up the matter with the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and the External Affairs Minister for sending an SGPC delegation to Kabul, Kandahar, Jalalabad and other cities of Afghanistan so that the gurdwaras there could be re-constructed at the earliest.
