before the mughals, north india was ruled by many afghan dynasties, but we hardly hear about them in history. Afghanistan today has become a dead country, but once it was a great country, but unfortunatly no body from outside cares about  there great history

I think as a general statement you are correct in the current time frame...but as historians come and go I am well aware of some of those events and concur that even given the contentious events then and since they were a remarkable series of events... particularly the Achaemenid era.
 
But the nation state as whole.... has as you no doubt know and appreciate has had a series of great historical epics and eras.
 
I mean just think of them....

The history there is astounding and well deserving of even a general study.

While Afghanistan may no longer be the great empire it once was, you have to admire the mountain tribes for their ability to defeat larger and better equipped armies since ancient times

I think Sultanate of Ghazni (Ghaznavid Empire) was the Golden Period in the Afghan History.

The Kushan period was also a golden period for the Gandharan civilizations of this region.

How did Afghanistan collapse into anarchy? I imagine the players of the Great Game were in some way responsible

Not Great Game rather the Cold War between U.S.A. and U.S.S.R., where U.S.S.R. was supporting the communists and Pakistan and U.S.A. were supporting the fundamentalists..
