This article explores the concept of harmonizing diversity in culturally and ethnically divided nations, drawing insights from the Indonesian model of Pancasila. The objective is to assess the potential applicability of Pancasila as a unifying framework for Afghanistan. The article examines the historical context and development of Pancasila in Indonesia, highlighting its effectiveness in fostering social cohesion and national integration. It further investigates the key principles and strategies employed by Pancasila to manage diversity, including inclusive governance, religious tolerance, and equitable representation. By analyzing the similarities and differences between Indonesia and Afghanistan, the article identifies the prospects and challenges of implementing a similar model in Afghanistan. This article uses the analytical and descriptive approach by referring to books, academic article and other available sources. The findings suggest that while Pancasila may serve as a valuable reference, contextual adaptations are necessary to address Afghanistan's unique cultural and ethnic landscape. This study contributes to the discourse on effective governance models for culturally diverse nations, offering insights and recommendations for policymakers, academics, and practitioners involved in nation-building efforts
