Dr Javed Iqbal Introduction IPRI Journal XI, No. 1 (Winter 2011): 77-95
An Overview of BritishIPRI JournalAdministrativeXI, no. Set-up 1 (Winter and Strategy 2011): 77-95 77 AN OVERVIEW OF BRITISH ADMINISTRATIVE SET-UP AND STRATEGY IN THE KHYBER 1849-1947 ∗ Dr Javed Iqbal Abstract British rule in the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent, particularly its effective control and administration in the tribal belt along the Pak-Afghan border, is a fascinating story of administrative genius and pragmatism of some of the finest British officers of the time. The unruly land that could not be conquered or permanently subjugated by warriors and conquerors like Alexander, Changez Khan and Nadir Shah, these men from Europe controlled and administered with unmatched efficiency. An overview of the British administrative set-up and strategy in Khyber Agency during the years 1849-1947 would help in assessing British strengths and weaknesses and give greater insight into their political and military strategy. The study of the colonial system in the tribal belt would be helpful for administrators and policy makers in Pakistan in making governance of the tribal areas more efficient and effective particularly at a turbulent time like the present. Introduction ome facts of history have been so romanticized that it would be hard to know fact from fiction. British advent into the Indo-Pakistan S subcontinent and their north-western expansion right up to the hard and inhospitable hills on the Western Frontier of Pakistan is a story that would look unbelievable today if one were to imagine the wildness of the territory in those times. The most fascinating aspect of the British rule in the Indian Subcontinent is their dealing with the fierce and warlike tribesmen of the northwest frontier and keeping their land under their effective control till the very end of their rule in India. -

A Case Study of the Bazaar Valley Expedition in Khyber Agency 1908
Journal of Law and Society Law College Vol. 40, No. 55 & 56 University of Peshawar January & July, 2010 issues THE BRITISH MILITARY EXPEDITIONS IN THE TRIBAL AREAS: A CASE STUDY OF THE BAZAAR VALLEY EXPEDITION IN KHYBER AGENCY 1908 Javed Iqbal*, Salman Bangash**1, Introduction In 1897, the British had to face a formidable rising on the North West Frontier, which they claim was mainly caused by the activities of ‘Mullahs of an extremely ignorant type’ who dominated the tribal belt, supported by many disciples who met at the country shrines and were centre to “all intrigues and evils”, inciting the tribesmen constantly against the British. This Uprising spread over the whole of the tribal belt and it also affected the Khyber Agency which was the nearest tribal agency to Peshawar and had great importance due to the location of the Khyber Pass which was the easiest and the shortest route to Afghanistan; a country that had a big role in shaping events in the tribal areas on the North Western Frontier of British Indian Empire. The Khyber Pass remained closed for traffic throughout the troubled years of 1897 and 1898. The Pass was reopened for caravan traffic on March 7, 1898 but the rising highlighted the importance of the Khyber Pass as the chief line of communication and trade route. The British realized that they had to give due consideration to the maintenance of the Khyber Pass for safe communication and trade in any future reconstruction of the Frontier policy. One important offshoot of the Frontier Uprising was the Tirah Valley expedition during which the British tried to punish those Afridi tribes who had been responsible for the mischief. -
Principles of Modern American Counterinsurgency: Evolution And
Terrain, Tribes, and Terrorists: Pakistan, 2006-20081 By David J. Kilcullen, Partner, The Crumpton Group LLC Brookings Counterinsurgency and Pakistan Paper Series. No. 3. “The two main factors for you will be the terrain and the tribes. You have to know their game and learn to play it, which means you first have to understand their environment,” Professor Akbar Ahmed told me in May 2006. In the field, with military and civilian teams and local people in locations across Afghanistan and Pakistan at various times through the next three years, the wisdom of Professor Ahmed’s insight came home to me again and again. The fact is that the terrain and the tribes drive ninety percent of what happens on the Frontier, while the third factor, which accounts for the other ten percent, is the presence of transnational terrorists and our reaction to them. But things seem very different in Washington or London from how they seem in Peshawar, let alone in Bajaur, Khyber or Waziristan—in that great tangle of dust-colored ridges known as the Safed Koh, or “white mountains”. This is a southern limb of the Hindu Kush, the vast range that separates Afghanistan (which lies on the immense Iranian Plateau that stretches all the way to the Arabian Gulf) from the valley of the Indus, the northern geographical limit of the Indian subcontinent. The young Winston Churchill, campaigning here in 1897, wrote that “all along the Afghan border every man’s house is his castle. The villages are the fortifications, the fortifications are the villages. Every house is loopholed, and whether it has a tower or not depends only on its owner’s wealth.”2 “All the world was going ghaza” Churchill was describing the operations of the Malakand Field Force around the village of Damadola, in Bajaur Agency, during the Great Frontier War of 1897— a tribal uprising inspired and exploited by religious leaders who co-opted local tribes’ opposition to the encroachment of government authority (an alien and infidel presence) into their region. -

Political Violence in Pakistan 1988-2010
Working paper Political Violence in Pakistan 1988-2010 Patterns and Trends Jacob N. Shapiro C. Christine Fair Rasul Bakhsh Rais February 2012 ICG Project Report Political Violence in Pakistan 1988-2010: Patterns and Trends Jacob N. Shapiro, Rasul Bakhsh Rais Political Violence in Pakistan: Myths vs. Realities Politics violence has long been endemic in Pakistan, but the scale, scope, and geographic distribution of the problem has not been systematically studies. This gap poses problems for both policy and academic research. On the policy side, decision makers lack credible quantitative data with which to weigh the relative costs of politically-motivated violence against the many other challenges facing Pakistan. On the academic side, scholars lack the ability to quantitatively assess the role of violence in Pakistani’s political and economic development since the end of the Zia- ul-Haq era in 1988. To remedy these gaps we developed incident-level data on political violence in Pakistan from 1988 to the present. These data include a range of details on 27,555 incidents to help: ñ Identify broad patterns of violence across multiple actors and types of events for each district and province of Pakistan. ñ Bring clarity to policy debates over who suffered which kinds of violence, where, and when. ñ Inform basic research in political science, sociology, and South Asian studies. Core policy-relevant questions which can be more effectively-studies using these data include: - What are the links between electoral politics and violence? - How does violence affect economic growth and development? - How does public opinion respond to militant violence? - Why do political organisations choose different strategies (normal political contestation, violence) at different times and different places? Findings Our initial analysis of the new data reveal four key patterns: - Balochistan, FATA, and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa were peaceful in absolute terms, relative to the rest of Pakistan, until 2004-5. -
Special Status of Tribal Areas (FATA): an Artificial Imperial Construct Bleeding Asia
Special Status of Tribal Areas (FATA): An Artificial Imperial Construct Bleeding Asia Sarfraz Khan* Introduction Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan is a narrow belt stretching along the Pak-Afghan border, popularly known as the Durand Line, named after Sir Mortimor Durand, who surveyed and established this borderline between Afghanistan and British India in 1890-1894. It comprises seven agencies namely: Kurram, Khyber, North Waziristan, South Waziristan, Bajaur, Mohmand, and Orakzai along with six Frontier Regions (FRs): FR-Peshawar, FR-Kohat, FR.Bannu, FR.Lakki, FR. D.I.Khan, and FR.Tank. FATA accounts for 27220 km2 or 3.4% of Pakistan's land area. Either side of FATA Pashtun tribes reside in Afghanistan and Pakistan. According to the 1998 census the population of FATA was 3.138 million or 2.4% of Pakistan's total population, currently estimated approximately 3.5 million. Various Pashtun Muslim tribes inhabit FATA. A small number of religious minorities, Hindus and Sikhs, also inhabit some of the tribal agencies. The following are the tribes residing in FATA. In Khyber Agency: Afridi (Adamkhel, Akakhel, Kamarkhel, Kamberkhel, Kukikhel, Malik Dinkhel, Sipah, Zakhakhel), Shinwari (Ali Sherkhel), Mullagori (Ahmadkhel, Ismailkhel) and Shilmani (Shamsherkhel, Haleemzai, Kam Shilmani).1 In Kurram: Turi, Bangash, Sayed, Zaimusht, Mangal, Muqbil, Ali Sherzai, Massuzai, and Para Chamkani.2 In Bajaur: Salarzai branch of the Tarkalanri tribe (Ibrahim Khel, Bram Khel (Khan Khel) and Safi.3 In Mohmand: Musakhel, Tarakzai, Safi, Uthmankhel, and Haleemzai.4 In Orakzai: Aurakzai and Daulatzai. 5 In South Waziristan: Mahsud Wazir, and Dottani/ Suleman Khels.6 In North Waziristan: Dawar, Wazir, Saidgi and Gurbaz.7 In Frontier Regions: Ahmadzai, Uthmanzai, Shiranis, Ustrana, zarghunkhel, Akhorwal, Shirakai, Tor Chappar, Bostikhel, Jawaki, Hasan khel, Ashukhel, Pasani, Janakor, Tatta, Waraspun, and Dhana. -
