[edit] The Population of Baghlan
The estimation of the population in 1960 A.D. was about 20,000 and about 24,410 in 1963 A.D. which would have been a supposed increase of 81.93% in a three year duration. The estimated population in 1965 A.D. was 92,432 which was an increase of 26.41% in two years, but all of these estimates may be incorrect as to what the real population was since there has never been a complete census because religious custom is opposed to recording the number of females in a family and Muslim men may have up to four wives although most have only one wife.
