SOME few days before my reaching Kabal it had been honoured by the presence of three English gen­ tlemen, Lieutenant Burnes, Doctor Gerard, and the Reverend Joseph Wolf. The latter had predicted many singular events, to be preceded by earth­ quakes, civil dissensions, foreign wars, and divers other calamities. An alarming earthquake did occur, and established his prophetical character, which considerably rose in estimation, when, about three hours after, a conflict took place between the Atchak Zai Afghans of the city and the Juanshirs, 230 DELUSIVE PROPHECY. who were celebrating the Mohoram, and wailing and beating their breasts in commemorative grief of the slaughter of the sons of Ali. Several lives were lost; the Suni population were about to arm in the cause of the Atchak Zais, Chandol was on the alert, and its ramparts were manned, while desultory firing was carried on. Dost Mahomed Khan, who had calmly sat during the earthquake, could not endure with the same fortitude the intelligence of an event, which, if it ripened into a crisis, would in­ volve the loss of that authority which was so dear to him, and had cost him so many cares and crimes to obtain. He became sick of a fever. Haji Khan Khaka, who had been previously unwell, but now sent a Koran as a pledge to the Juanshirs, in the expectation that the affair would bring on a general struggle, was appointed agent by Dost Mahomed Khan for the Shias of the city, and the Nawab Jabar Khan agent for the Siinis. These two com­ promised matters, or rather, suffered them to sub­ side, for no arrangement was made. The season was fruitful in forebodings and prophecies, for now another earthquake was foretold by one of the holy men, which was to complete the destruction me­ naced by the preceding one. On the appointed day half of the inhabitants of Kabal repaired to tents without the city, and when it had passed serenely over, returned in ridicule to their deserted abodes. Rawash, or the blanched stalks of the rhubarb- plant, was one of the delicacies of the bazars when DELICACIES OF KABAL. 231 I arrived in Kabal, and the lambs of the Lohani and Ghilji flocks formed another. Lettuces also abounded. Rawash lasts for three months, from the middle of April to that of July. It is much eaten in its natural state, simply with the addi­ tion of salt, and is largely employed in cookery with meat. It affords a grateful, acidulated relish, and is held to be particularly sanative. It serves a variety of uses, and dried, is preserved for any length of time. It also makes an excellent pre­ serve, by being first saturated in a solution of lime and then boiled with shirar, or the inspissated juice of grapes, losing, however, in this case, its charac­ teristic flavour. Rawash is more or less plentiful in all the hills from Kalat of Balochistan to Kandahar, and again from that place to Kabal. Attention is only paid to its growth by the inhabitants of Pagh- man, who supply the bazars of the city. They sur­ round the choicer plants with conical coverings of stones, so as to exclude light and air, and thereby produce that whiteness of stem so much prized. The unblanched plant is called chukri, and is also exposed to sale. More reasonable in price, it is nearly as well adapted for ordinary uses. Riwand Chini, or Chinese rhubarb, is a common drug at Kabal, and much employed by the physicians, who never suspect it to be the same plant which yields their rawash. The day of my arrival was distinguished by the presence in the bazar of cherries, the first-fruits of 232 FRUITS OF KABAL. the year; a day or two after apricots were seen, and in four or five days they were succeeded by mulber­ ries. Cherries, I observed, were of three varieties; and to the Emperor Baber is ascribed the merit of their introduction into Kabal, and to which he lays claim in his memoirs. Apricots are of very nume­ rous varieties, as are the mulberries; and all exist in profusion. Parties visit the gardens about the city, and each paying a pais, or the sixtieth part of a rupee, have liberty to shake the trees, and regale themselves at discretion during the day. Some of the varieties of mulberries are of excellent flavour, and to enhance its zest, rose-water is by some sprinkled over the mass, with fragments of ice or pounded snow. The first grapes which ripen are called Kandahari, from having, perhaps, been ori­ ginally brought from that place; they are black, and of large clustered bunches, the grapes much varying in size. They appear about the end of June, and continue until the end of July, when they are replaced by the many varieties for which Kabal is famous, until the close of autumn, following each other in due succession. In June, also, apples are first brought to the bazars, and in July they become plentiful, with pears. In the beginning of August peaches ripen in Koh Daman; they are very large, but I think not well flavoured; indeed, I question whether any of the fruits of Kabal equal in flavour the analogous varieties of England. Quinces, with musk, and, water-melons, usher in the autumn; and ASL-SUS.—ICE. 233 the latter are certainly fine fruits; while their enor­ mous consumption is such, that to raise them is the task of the agriculturist. The Sadu Zai princes did not disdain to derive profits from their royal melon- fields, nor is Dost Mahomed Khan ashamed to imitate the precedent. He has his palez, or me­ lon-fields, prepared and tended by forced labour, and the inhabitants of the contiguous villages are taxed to furnish, from the neighbouring wastes, their respective proportions of the plant asl-sus, or liquorice, which is employed in the formation of the beds and trenches, and which abounds. Besides all these fruits, there are walnuts, al­ monds, pistas, figs, and pomegranates, although the two latter kinds are not so esteemed as those of warmer countries. It is scarcely possible that Kabal can be surpassed for the abundance and variety of its fruits, and, perhaps, no city can pre­ sent, in its season, so beautiful a display of the deli­ cious treasures supplied by nature for her children. Of the many luxuries of Kabal, ice must not be for­ gotten ; like fruit, it is abundant, and so cheap as to be within the reach of the poorest citizen. It is used to cool water, sherbets, and fruits; and even a cup of buttermilk is scarcely thought fit to drink unless a fragment of ice be floating in it. During winter large blocks of ice are deposited in deep pits, lined with chaff; matting, for a depth of some feet, is placed over them, and the whole is covered with earth. Another method of obtaining ice is by 234 TAKHT SHAH. directing water into a prepared cavity, and allowing it to freeze. The process is renewed until a sufficient quantity of the congelated mass is accumulated, when it is overspread with matting and soil. Snow is alike preserved, and its square crystalized heaps sparkle during the warm months in the shops of the fruiterers and confectioners. I made many excursions in the environs, and examined the various interesting objects they pre­ sent. On one occasion I ascended the hill Koh Takht Shah, to inspect the building on its summit, mindful that Baber had described it as the palace of an ancient king. I found a substantial erection of about thirty-five feet in length, and eighteen feet in breadth, with a height of about eleven feet. On the western front is a small arched entrance, leading into an apartment of about eleven feet square, crowned with a dome. Four niches were inserted at the angles of the walls, and three others in the respective sides. A little below, on the face of the hill, there is believed to be a cave, which has its opposite outlet at Fatiabad, at the head of the Jelalabad valley, and by which Zakom Shah, an infidel king who resided here, escaped from the vengeance of Hazrat Ali. Baber appears to have related the tradition of the country connected with the spot, but there can be little question, from the existence of the domed chamber, that the Takht Shah, or King's Throne, as it is called, is a sepul­ chral monument of the middle ages. It is rudely ANTIQUITIES. 235 composed of unfashioned stones, and the chamber has been lined with cement. Connected with it, and extending along the summits of the range, and of its ramifications, are parapet walls of masonry. We ascended the hill by the Kotal, or pass of Kedar, leading from the ziarat of that name into Chahar Deh, on the descent of which is another object of curiosity.

Having toppled and terminated de facto Safavid rule in 1722,Hotakiruleatthe centre itself collapsed in 1729.1 Nadir Shah of the Afshar tribe—which was formerly incorporated within the Safavid political coalition—then seized the reigns of the state, subduing the last vestiges of Hotaki power at the frontier in 1738, playing the latter off against their major regional opponents, the Abdali tribes. From Kandahar, Nadir Shah and his new allies marched into Mughal India, ransacking its cities and their coffers in 1739, carrying treasure—including the peacock throne and the Koh-i- Noor diamond—worth tens of millions of rupees, and claiming de jure sovereignty over the swathe of territory from Iran to the Mughal domains. Following the execution of Nadir Shah in 1747, his former cavalry commander, Ahmad Shah Abdali, rapidly established his independent political authority.2 Adopting the sobriquet Durr-i-Durran (Pearl of 1 Rudi Matthee, Persia in Crisis.

  • Comparing Camels in Afghanistan and Australia: Industry and Nationalism During the Long Nineteenth Century
    Comparing camels in Afghanistan and Australia: Industry and nationalism during the Long Nineteenth Century Shah Mahmoud Hanifi [James Madison University, Virginia, USA] Abstract: This paper compares the roles of camels and their handlers in state building projects in Afghanistan and Australia during the global ascendance of industrial production. Beginning in the mid-1880s the Afghan state-sponsored industrial project known as the mashin khana or Kabul workshops had significant consequences for camel-based commercial transport in and between Afghanistan and colonial India. Primary effects include the carriage of new commodities, new forms of financing and taxation, re- routing, and markedly increased state surveillance over camel caravans. In Australia the trans-continental railway and telegraph, and other projects involving intra-continental exploration and mining, generated a series of in-migrations of Afghan camels and cameleers between the 1830s and 1890s. The port of Adelaide was the urban center most affected by Afghan camels and cameleers, and a set of new interior markets and settlements originate from these in-migrations. The contributions of Afghan camels and their handlers to state-building projects in nineteenth-century Afghanistan and Australia highlight their vital roles in helping to establish industrial enterprises, and the equally important point that once operational these industrial projects became agents in the economic marginalization of camels and the social stigmatization of the human labour associated with them. __________________________________________________________________ Introduction: camels, political economy and national identities The movement of camels through the Hindu Kush mountain passes was greatly transformed beginning in 1893. That year the Durrani Amir of Kabul Abd al-Rahman signed an agreement with the British Indian colonial official Sir Henry Mortimer Durand acknowledging there would be formal demarcation of the border between their respective vastly unequal powers, one being a patron and the other a client.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 ABSTRACT The thesis begins by describing the socio-political and economic organisation of the tribes of Waziristan in the mid-nineteenth century, as well as aspects of their culture, attention being drawn to their egalitarian ethos and the importance of tarburwali, rivalry between patrilateral parallel cousins. It goes on to examine relations between the tribes and the British authorities in the first thirty years after the annexation of the Punjab. Along the south Waziristan border, Mahsud raiding was increasingly regarded as a problem, and the ways in which the British tried to deal with this are explored; in the 1870s indirect subsidies, and the imposition of ‘tribal responsibility’ are seen to have improved the position, but divisions within the tribe and the tensions created by the Second Anglo- Afghan War led to a tribal army burning Tank in 1879.

  • Pashtuns, Their Culture, Language and Literature
    October 2011 - June 2012 7 Pashto Volume 40-41 No 642 Pashtuns, their Culture, Language and Literature Raj Wali Shah Khattak Abstract Pashto is the name of a language as well as a distinct way of life. The existence of Pashtun nation is because of Pashto. Pashtun is a nation and a standard of character too. This way of life, character and nationality are thought to be the basic ingredients of distinct civilization, which is called Pashtunwali is the culture of Pashtuns, in which all the laws regarding the affairs of social life exist. Whoever is capable of livinga life according to these laws, is qualified to be called a Pashtun. Pashto, Pashtun and Pashtunwali are the coins of the same kind quite close and inter dependant. The history of Pashto language and the Pashtun race is said to be some 5000 years old. Different historians and researchers have presented different views about the origin ofthe Pashtun nation. If the formation of a nation is based on its language, and Pashto which is an Aryan language, therefore the Pashtun nation can be called an Aryan race. The Aryan traces are still found in Pashto language and the customs of Pashtunwali. But now it has become a mixed culture, in which there are traces relating to other religions as well. One of the view is that the Pashtuns are Israelites and the lost tribe of Assyria, which settled in the mountains of Ghor in Afghanistan and which later on were called the Pashtuns. The traces of Bani Israelites customs and tradition in Pashtun civilization are thought to be bases of this word.

  • Connecting Histories in Afghanistan: Introduction
    Connecting Histories in Afghanistan Shah Mahmoud Hanifi Introduction The Historical Location and Conceptual Framing of Afghanistan Old Market Time and New State Space from the Silk Road to the Indian Ocean The emergence of new states tends to transform old market relations. Modern states are 1 fundamentally territorial entities, while markets are essentially time-bound to various daily, seasonal, and political calendars. But markets and states also overlap and share temporal and spatial interests in such things as cities. This generality is all to say that there is a range of possible relationships between markets and states in time and space that oscillate between complimentary and oppositional polarities. In the case of Afghanistan, we are dealing with very old markets and a very new state, and the 2 Afghan state has not fared well in terms of market integration. The state structure that took shape in and around Qandahar under the direction of Ahmad Shah Abdali/Durrani in the mid-eighteenth century had deep roots in both Iran and India. Ahmad Shah was born in the Mughal district of Multan on the Indus river plain, but he gained political recognition to the west in the service of the Turco-Iranian ruler Nadir Shah Afshar. Ahmad Shah's use of Qandahar as the first capital of the Durrani Afghan state reflects the city's long-term function as transit market for the brisk overland trade between Mughal India and Safavid Iran that had deeper historic origins in exchanges between Mesopotamian and Indus valley civilizations.1 These overland routes exposing two ancient worlds to one another were complimented by a series of aquatic linkages that integrated port city and hinterland markets across the Indian Ocean world encompassing South and Southeast Asia, the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and East Africa.2 Qandahar can be seen as positioned amid a set of commercial routes and networks with a generally southerly orientation.

The first Anglo-Afghan war is well documented yet poorly understood. It is well documented from the diplomatic and military perspectives, but questions still remain about what is generally viewed as the most consequential defeat suffered by colonial forces in the history of the British Empire.

THORBURN, INDIA CIVIL SERVICE, SETTLEMENT OFFICER OF THE BANNU DISTRICT. •^ LONDON: TRtJBNER & CO., 57 and 59, LUDGATE HILL. 1876. All Rights Reserved. : HERTFORD PRINTED BY STEPHEN AXISTIX AND SONS. PREFACE In the spring of 1848, just twenty-eight years ago, the late Sir Herbert Edwardes, then a young lieutenant in the service of the East India Company, achieved in a few months the bloodless conquest of the Bannu valley—a valley studded with 400 village-forts, which all the might of a military nation like the Sikhs had failed to subdue, though for twenty years and more they had made repeated efforts to do so. Lieutenant Edwardes had been supplied with the means wherewith to compel submission, or rather to attempt it, in the shape of several Sikh regiments ; but happily his personal influence and tact enabled him to accomplish his task without resorting to physical force. The troops, as well as the people they had been sent to conquer, saw with wonder and admiration how difficulties, formerly deemed insurmountable, disappeared in a few weeks before the earnest enthusiasm of one Englishman. The good work had hardly been completed, when the second Sikh war broke out, and Edwardes hastened away with what troops and levies he could collect to stem the tide of rebellion by boldly laying siege to Multan. At the close of the war, in which he had proved him- self a heroic soldier and skilful officer, he went home on furlough to find himself the lion of the hour.
