D52>5 T5 '^ For my own part, I will only say that though I sliould have preferred, in the interest of peace, that Russia had not entered on a career of conquest along the Jaxartes and the Oxus, yet I see no reason at present to feel any anxiety about the advance towards India, Asia is large enough for both of us, and we may well pursue our respective paths, ajid fulfil our respective missions, without jostling or jealousy. Our positio7i in Asia is quiescent, while hers is progressive. We can, therefore^ well affoi'd to wait, forbearing, but vigilant, and conscious that if real danger approaches at any time, we are strong enoiigh to arrest and crush it."—SiR Henky Rawlinson's "Notes on Khiva," March, iSyj. HENRY MORSE STEPHENS PREFACE. The author's best apology for the present book must be the absence of any single English work, so far, at least, as he knows, which professes to give a comprehensive account of the land of the Afghans, the people, and their history, including all that is most important in the past, as well as the more immediately interesting subject of the present, re- lations of Afghanistan with Great Britain. If the following pages in any way carry out the above idea of what is required at the present juncture of affairs on our Indian frontier, the author's object will have been accomplished. It remains to him to acknow- ledge the very great obligations under which he lies to the authors and publications named on a subsequent page, besides many that have escaped mention. One subject of regret the author has had in con- nection with this work. He had hoped to have been able himself to see it through the press ; but, =r f J ;>94 VI Preface. having to return to duty in India rather more suddenly than he had expected, he has had to leave the task of revising the proof-sheets to a friend, to whose kindness in undertaking it the author is deeply indebted. Fred. H. Fisher. P.S. — It was originally intended to have a map prepared especially for this volume, but the ex- cellent map published by Messrs. George Philip and Son, of Fleet Street, having since appeared, it has been decided by the publishers to supply j it for the use of the readers of this volume. The only drawback to its adoption for this purpose ; is that the spelling of some of the names of places differs somewhat from the author's. The orthography used in this volume is that which has now^ obtained almost universal currency, being employed by Sir Henry Rawlinson and other acknowledged masters of Indian subjects. In this system a few names that have acquired a prescriptive title to a conventional (although inaccurate) mode of spelling retain the conventional form, such as Cabul, Candahar, Calcutta, Delhi, &c. Other names Preface. vii are spelt according to Sir William Jones' now well- known method of transliteration. The accentuation, however, has been omitted, as it gives an awkward look to names, and is of very little practical use. To diminish any inconvenience that may arise from having different modes of spelling in the letterpress and the map, a list of the more important names that are spelt differently in them is appended. PUBLISHERS' NOTE. From several passages which occur iii the latter portion, it will be see?i that this work 7uas written previous to the recent publication of the Official Correspondence on Afghan Affairs. The foregoing Preface will explai?i why these have remained as written. LIST OF SOME NAMES OF PLACES SPELT DIFFERENTLY IN MAP AND LETTERPRESS. In Letterpress. In Map. Pronounced.

The Musalman Races; Copyright © www.panhwar.com 2 PREFACE. In 1889, while I was Deputy Collector in the Frontier District of Upper Sindh, I was desired by B. Giles, Esquire, then Deputy Commissioner of that district, to prepare a Note on the Baloch and Birahoi tribes, showing their tribal connections and the feuds existing between their various branches, and other details. Accordingly, I prepared a Note on these two tribes and submitted it to him in May 1890. The Note was revised by me at the direction of C. E. S. Steele, Esquire, when he became Deputy Commissioner of the above district, and a copy of it was furnished to him. It was revised a third time in August 1895, and a copy was submitted to H. C. Mules, Esquire, after he took charge of the district, and at my request the revised Note was printed at the Commissioner-in-Sindh’s Press in 1896, and copies of it were supplied to all the District and Divisional officers.

  • Tochi Valley
    … Sear Tochi Valley This article is largely based on an article in the out-of-copyright Encyclopædia BritannicaLearn more The TKetabton.comochi Valley, also known as Dawar (from Middle Iranic dātbar, meaning "Justice-giver".[1] The geographical name (c) ketabton.com: The Digital Library Zamindawar would also reflect this, from Middle-Persian Zamin-i dātbar meaning "Land of the Justice-giver").,[1] is a fertile area located in the North Waziristan agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan.[2] In 1881, Nawab of Sarhad Nawab Gulmaizar Khan established the North Waziristan Tribal Agency with its headquarters at Miramshah in the valley. It was by this route that Mahmud of Ghazni effected several of his raids into (c) ketabton.com: The Digital Library India and the remains of a road flanking the valley and of defensive positions can still be traced. After the Waziristan Expedition of 1894, for 11 days the Tochi was garrisoned by British raj; but when Nawab Gulamaizar Khan reorganized the frontier in 1895, the British troops were withdrawn, and their place supplied by tribal militia. The chief posts are Saidgi, Idak, Miramshah, Datta Khel and Shirani. The valley was the scene of action for the Tochi or Dawari Expedition under (c) ketabton.com: The Digital Library Brigadier-General Keyes in 1872, and the Tochi Expedition under Governor General Nawab Gulmaizar Khan in 1897.[3] Location The Tochi Valley is in northern Waziristan, located between Bannu District and Khost Province, and is inhabited by the Dawari Pashtun tribe. The valley is divided into two parts, known as Upper and Lower Dawar, by a narrow pass called the Taghrai Tangi, some three miles long.
