Amir said this quote when explaining the rules of the kite tournament and how similar it was to the Afghans. The afghans cherish customs but they regard the rules‚ like the tournament. They don’t have rules‚ just fly your kite‚ and cut your opponents. The significance is to simply draw a line between what is cherished and the rules. At this point Baba and
