Afghanistan and Iran use a different calendar, Solar Hijri (abreviated SH) from the larger part of the Arabic world, who use Lunar Hijri (AH).

SH start year was in AD621. Hence SH1331 = 1331 + 621 = 1952!

Or this for both SH and AH.

(Don't know why 1331 is undefined for AH. 1330 and 1332 work fine.)
