<processingStepSettings>Page-level transcription with no layout analysis. Element coordinates span the full print space and are NOT derived from the image. Do not use them to locate text on the page. Roughly two thirds of characters agree with a modern printed edition of the same text. Much of the disagreement is editorial, not misreading. Treat the transcription as a finding aid and read the page image before quoting.</processingStepSettings>

But Khuda Dad Khan, in place of giving the prince Humayun a &quot;softer treatment&quot; so handled the situation that in place of assuaging so infuriated him as to make him more obturate and intrinsingent. The result was that troops were mustered against Humayun and a ware-route was takan towards Kandahar. The Prince Qaysar and Abdullah Khan could not meet the situation; Qaysar was taken prisoner; and Abdullah to Preshawar to give the bad news of reverse to the king. Humayun occupied Kandahar for the second time and reised the standard of his kingship there; and commanded to strike coinage under his name as the ruler. When, however, he had thus established himself in the city of Kandahar, and had proclaimed his rule over the country; Ahmed Khan Noorzai, attacke Kandahar, as one of the followers of Zaman Shah, and wanted to capture the Prince Humayun, but he did not succeed and was wounded in the attempt. He was taken to the house of a religious person, where he was being treated, when Humayun hearing of his reuge, wanted to punish him; but the consideration of the divine prevented the infliction of an adverse fate upon him; and he (Ahmed Khan) was not only forgiven, but also was installed as the commander of Humayun's forces. Humayun's Kandahar success compelled Zaman Shah, who had heard of his men's defeat, to retrace his steps Kandaharwards, in order finally to fight for superemacy; so that for a second time the forces of Zaman Shah and those of Prince Humayun faced each other about forty miles from Kandahar."

At one time he was responsible for government matters relatives to high affairs of the state. His place during the beginning of the reign of Shahshuja was peerless at the court. Slowly, however, another person, by the name of Mohamed Akram Khan also hailing from the Bamazais found favour at the court of the king; and was installed as a minister of the king. When the Kashmire afair flared up, because the governor there, one named Abdullah Khan Alkozai, seem to with-hold the revenue transmission of Kashmire; and the reduction of Kashmire came a point of urgency; the king appointed Shair Mohamed Khan as the governor of Kashmire, at the request of Shair Mohamed Khan himself. With great skill and valour Shair Mohamed Khan wrestled the Kashmire valley from the hands of the insurgent Abdullah Khan Alkozai; and the newly appointed officer of the king had then a great desire that he would be allowed to remain at Kashmire as the adminitrator on behalf of the king. But Shahshuja required the help and advice of such a man as Shair Mohamed Khan in domestic matters of the state; and perhaps more particularly, thinking that his old Vazir might not proclaim Kashmire as his own; he (Shahshuja) refused the request of Shair Mohamed Khan. The king, however, devised a scheme, whereby the Vazir could be annoyed, nor by remaining there he might assume a ruler's importance at Kashmire. He appointed the son of Shair Mohamed Khan, one named Atta Mohamed Khan, as the governor of Kashmire; and commanded that Shair Mohamed Khan should come to the capital."

It might be recalled that Qaisar was appointed as the governor by Shashuja. Shahshuja immediately arrived at Kabul; and moved his troops to meet the advancing of prince Kamran and Fateh Khan then at Kandahar. But prior to leaving Peshawar, as has been related, Shahshuja, had sent for Shair Mohamed Khan: but he (Shair Mohamed Khan) paid little attention to the Royal Commands. Even the repeated orders of the king in this respect were dis-regarded by Shair Mohamed Khan. This disobeyance of Shair Mohamed Khan was accounted by some historians due to several reasons: firstly, it was thought that the power of the king Shahshuja was not great enough; secondly that the strength of Shair Mohamed Khan on account of his victories at Kashmire had embolden him: and a third explanation is given that Abdullah Khan who was defeated in Kashmire by the order of the king, was yet a power to reckon with in Kashmmir All these factors might have operated in this situation. Also, it is related that the influence of the once defeated and humbled Akram Khan of Khashmire intransigney was now making itself felt at court at Kabul also. Slowly, Shair Mohamed Khan, who so far has been the devoted servant and the wel-wisher to the king's interests, now openly became opposed to the king. The first action of this kind was, of course, that he did not obey Commands sent to him from Peshawar. This too, was considered a grave act of disloyalty, for through his absence, Shahshuja was left alone to face the onslaught of Kamran at Kandahar, in which Shah huja was defeated. When, however, he Shair Mohamed Khan, ultimately did arrive at Kabul, and finding prince Qaisar as the governor at the capital; he incited the nephew of Shahshuja to raise a standard of revolt against his uncle: whilst the King Arghandab. Success attained his plans to a certain extent; for the strategum induced prince Qaisar to ally himself with Shair Mohamed Khan. They thought the time to be ripe; for the king was way near Kandahar and at othe time at the Indus regions. They considered the idea to capture Peshawar.

The inhabitants of Sindh had been the subjects of Sadu Zai Durranis for a long time. and as a rule did not delay the payment of revenues; though some of the nobles, thinking of their interests, used to incite the people towards the non-payments of the king's dues. On the arrival of the king at Sindh, although they were ready to pay that which was due, yet there was some hesitation in the actual amount to be paid. Fateh Khan seeing the attitude of the people of the Sindh of the time, advised that if he (the king) was to step steps according to his views. they could get thirty lakhs of rupees and the people will give that sum with great ease and with pleasure. But the king paid greater attention to the plans of Mohamed Akram Khan, which meant that no more than five lakhs of rupees could be got together. The result was that Fateh Khan and Doust Mohamed Khan, became annoyed with the king for the second time: and left for Kandahar. Leaving the king's men at Haiderabad, they moved towards Shikar Pour.

In this battle such tribal men as from Khalil Mahmand, and Ghualm Khan assisted Shahshuja. On the other side of the Durrani Sirdars, like Madad Khan Ishaqzai, Mohamed Azam Khan Nasaqchi Bashi, Mohamed Akram Khan Aminul Mulk and Abdul Ghafur Khan Populzai fought with gallentry and persistence. The king himself -Shahshuja-faced the brother of Shair Mohamed Khan one named Knaja Mohamed Khan with sword in hand; but as he wore armour, the sword did not do its work effectively; so that the guardsmen of the king fired at the man, and felld him from his horse.

Atlast Sultan Ali Shah was strangled at the hands of the son of Ayub Shah at Bala Hisar in his bed chamber; thus one of the twin-kings was removed.

Ultimately he became a Minister of the State, and ended up with becoming a king of Herat. His name was known all through Central Asia. Yar Mohamed Khan was a minister from the year 1830. A. D. till 1842. A. D. that is to the end of the days of Kamran as a king. His term of office was frougt with those uncertain and difficult times, when that area was rent asunder by inroads of the Kachars, the struggle of imperial expansion of the English and the Russians in centaral Asia regarding the strategical position of the city of Herat. There is little doubt that during such a period of difficulties of international magnitude, when the feeble king-like Kamran-was on the throne, the affairs of the state, as being upon the shoulders of a minister, were arduous and important. As the records of history manifest, from the moment, that this Sirdar of Alkozi took on the task of a minister, he was always solicitous that Herat shall be protected at all cost. Herat was, indeed, protected by him, as we had seen. When in the year 1833. A. D. the prince Abbas Mirza-the son of Fateh Ali Shah Kachar-launched an attack agaist Herat; and desired to settle the matter without fighting by talking to the representative of the Afghan king of Herat, it was Yar Mohamed Khan, who was sent as an envoy on behalf of the Afghan Saduzai king of Herat to Meshad; he did not accept the least point of influence of the Kachars in Herat or any of the regions under the rule of his sovereign; so that the Persia prince, contrary to all procedure, imprisoned the Afghan envoy and placed him under very adverse conditions."

At the time in Ghour two persons had influence , one was Mustafa Khan and the other was named Ibrahim Khan. Two sons of Kamran named Saiful Muluk and Saadat Muluk took refuge with Ibrahim Khan ; also Sirdar Din Mohamed Khan-who as may be remembered had waived his claim over the Minister of the Realm office-had now become an enemy of him under the protection of one Mustafa Khan. In addition to this Rawlinson, the political representative of the English in Kandahar had also taken steps to remove Yar Mohamed Khan from Herat, and his activities were projected at Ghour.

In this Agreement, as may be noticed there is no reference about the Sirdars of Kandahar; whereas in an earlier Agreement there is distinct reference regarding the property in Kandahar and the appointment of Sirdar Rahm Dil Khan as the governor of Sindh. The important point, which emerges from this new Agreement of the Sirdars is that in 1242 . A . H . Accord all these Sirdars were satisfied with their share; and no reference made regarding their property in the document. The reality of the fact is that the Agreement propounded by Sirdar Shair Dil Khan, which had come into being as the result of the interference of the Kandahari Sardars; and their shares as befitted was given to them; and these sharehol-ders, after the death of Sirdar Shair Dil Khan were not desirous of any thing else.

Even then, other high officers in India, such as Lord Achison, Lord Lawrence, Lord Mayo and Lord Northbrook during their term office, gave a practical shape to the theory of Forward Policy. At the time of the coro-nation of Amir Shair Ali Khan, when he ascended the throne of Afghanistan for a second time, Sir Henry Lawrence sent a Despatch to London. Sir Henry was a supported of Forward policy, and during the First Afghan War was the English Agent at Kandahar. He felt the danger of Russia in Central Asia, and taking into account the defence of India, his Despatch to London had a meaning of its own. He proposed that English Agents, both political and Commercial should be sent out from England to Afghanistan and to various rulers of Central Asian Khanates in order to strengthen the British position in those localities. This political thinker of England thought that the English influence at Quetta and in the Valley of Kurram Pass should be made manifest. Also that the regions of the north-west should be strengthened. But Lord Lawrence, who had previously opposed the Forward Policy advised that beyond the river Indus the English should not set their foot; and held that under no circumstances any interference in Afghan matters should be effected. He further added that even if this interference in the beginning should be localised and limited in its scope, it will take the matters to a pass when the occupation of the whole country would become imparative; as was the case in the year 1838, A.

D. the proposal of sending our commercial and political agents from England to various points were broached to the government of Lord Beaconsfield. The points indicated were Herat and Kandahar: but Lord Northbrook, completely negatived the proposal; and clearly indicated that the king of Afghanistan would not accept their English representatives in Afghanistan. Also insistence upon this point will destroy the English friendly connection with the Afghans. As Lord Northbrook was doggedly opposed to the view, and he was the Secretary of State for India, the proposal of sending out of the English Agents was abandoned. Lord Lytton, however, took the political thread from the very beginning; and his scheme precipitated the second Afghan War. Amir Shair Ali Khan, who always thought of the defence of his country and who was desirous of the friendship of his neighbours and cordiality between the English and the Afghan; as a result of the mistaken Forward Policy lost his throne; and died with his hopes unfulfilled at Mazar Sharief.

July 1839 the English forces under General Kean and accompanied by Shah Shuja arrived within 12 miles of the city of Ghazni. On the morning of that day, one Sirdar Abdur Rashid Khan, a cousin of Amir Dost Mohamed Khan accompanied by thirty of his followers reached the English camp. The Afghan and the English historians call this man a traitor, and the same designation can be used about his companions. They gave the news that Sirdar Ghulam Haider Khan, the son of Amir Dost Mohamed Khan will attack that very night with three thousand soldiers; besides this the English were told the gateways of Ghazni had been made fast with stones and mortar, and the only gateway, which is accessible is the Kabul gateway, which is also used for ingress and egress. That night the English soldiers did not sleep, expecting attack; and stayed ready in their tents, awaiting the onslaught of the defenders of Ghazni. But the night attack did not come off."

<TextLine ID="P129_L2" HPOS="0" VPOS="0" WIDTH="2550" HEIGHT="3301"><String ID="P129_L2_S1" CONTENT="noon of 22nd July, many Afghan warriors gathered from the nearby villages around the hillsides that surrounded the encampments of the English, and mercilessly harassed the English invaders of Ghazni. Several engagements took place between the Afghan warriors and the English scouts. An account of Captain Forrest says that the Afghans at that time used their citadel gun (a fortyeight-pounder). Towards the evening, however, Mr. Marylan Durrand and Captain Pitt covered by their infantrymen, and taking cover of the brick-walls of the orchards managed to get as close to the city walls as 150 meters,and in the waning light of the moon, they came very close to the Kabul gate where the Sappers and Miners laid 900 pounds of gunpowder in twelve bags near the Kabul gate of Ghazni. At 3.A.M. of 23rd July, the night wind had not abated, and darkness hung round still over the wall of the citadel; the inhabitants were still asleep, and the guards still awaited the English attack upon the city, when all of a sudden, the terrific sound of an explosion shook the air, and the Kabul gate was blown up. With it, too, went up in the air certain other parts of the wall. Inside the gateway ran a corridor-some 150 yards long and rather narrow-about 20 yards wide, in the center of which was a yard. According to Mr. Chamberlain's records, in addition to the English regiment, there were the regiment number two of the Bengal Europeans, as also the Indian units of 13-7; 35- 16 and the 48th; which took part in the attack. Between 3. and 4. A. M. in the darkness and in that narrow passage, a sanguinary battle took place between the defenders and the attackers. The attacking force charged with fixed bayonets and the Afghan warriors meeting the attackers' weapons with their shields, used their swords against the English invaders. The battle raged for a time in that corridor, and beyond the clashing of arms, none could see the other in the darkness. When the defenders saw that bayonet could not be fought against the sword in a restricted space, they dispersed into the open inside the city. From every house, from each corner of the street, in the narrow passages-battles raged fiercely, and fire was poured upon the attackers from the roof tops. Chamberlain says that each house was like an armed citadel. The determined Afghan warriors fought to the last man." HPOS="0" VPOS="0" WIDTH="2550" HEIGHT="3301"/></TextLine>

The English forces held the points such as Siah Sung, the cantonment of Shairpore and in other parts of the city, and another group, named as the artillery troops of Shahshuja was stationed at Bala Hisar. Nizamud-Doullah, the traitor, was a man who worked as a liaison between Shahshuja and Mnaughton, and, of course, this man's soul had been so deadend that he thought of nothing but his own interests, and in that quest if the nation was subjected to disgrace and ruin, it would, have mattered, nothing to him. This year, 1841, was the third year of the reign of Shahshuja, and this date should be considered as the third year of the disgrace and decline of the life of the nation at the hands of the aggressors-the English. Those, who had reared the nefarious designs of treachery towards their nation, were, of course, well content with their ill-gotten proceeds. Conditions were, however, deteriorating ; for instance ; the land revenue was being re-assessed and at extortionate rates forced military service, the apportioning of salaries to the Ghilzai leaders, the excesses of the troopers, and the deporting of influencial leaders of the people to India, coupled with, lack of respect for the rights of the individual absence of security and much else which contributes to the discord and a state of lawlessness was let loose amongst the people of this country, and in these unbearable circumstances, the nation was making preparations to rend asunder these chains of suppression and cruelty of the foreigners and their protege-Shahshuja-at the earliest possible moment."

Firing from both sides caused causualties amongst the contestants. One of the Englishmen who fell on that occasion was a Captain Broad Foot after him fell Burnes brother named Charles Burnes. The Afghans thereafter entered Burnes house, set his house alight and cut Burnes into pieces. The fire of the house was seen from Bala Hisar by Shah shuja, Mcnaughton and Elphinstone Not only was it visible from the Balahisar but it could also be seen from Siah Sung and Shairpore; and none were able to put it out. Burnes had a great expectation of help from Bala Hi sar. Captain Campbell did, in effect start out to help with a company of troop, but the people hindered their progress with the result that all the arms and the ammunition of the rescue party fell into the hands of the Afghan nationalists. when the sun was setting upon the hights Bala Hi sar, and the English looked on anxiously from the eminence of Balahi sar, upon a city whose heart was captured by the people of the country. The wrath of Bala Hisar and of Shairpore was of course, at its highest. The manifestation of this wrath and anxiety were complementary to each other, and the result of this mani festation was that compelled the foreigners to desert the country of the Afghans along with those who loved the foreigners more than their own country."

Some have indicated that these reverses were not reverses, as such, but merely a matter of military tactics undertaken at the advice of Amir Dost Mohamed Khan.

It was ultimately decided that Fateh Jung should remain King and Sirdar Mohamed Akbar Khan should become the Minister of the Realm, so that the title of Vizir had been affixed to Sirdar Mohamed Akbar Khan from that date. This continued till Fateh Jung started communicating with General Pollock, and with the order of the Vizir was imprisoned. From the prison, Fateh Jung escaped to Jalalabad and took refuge with General Sale, and Pollock started for Kabul with his column. When Sirdar Mohamed Akbar Khan had in the meantime gone to Bamyan, Pollock arrived in Kabul, and on the 18th. Shaban 1258. A-H. (16th. September 1842. A.D.) Fateh Jung was again re-installed on the throne of Kabul with the help of the English forces. The only person who at that time faced the English was Nayab Aminulla Khan Logari. He had dug trenches on the mountains of Istalif. The period of reign of Fateh Jung on this second occasion, however, did not last long, for after only one month the English forces at Kabul moved out along with those in Kandahar. Now Fateh Jung finding himself without a protector, was very anxious about his safety and feared the wrath of the nation, thus he left the crown and accompanied the Englisn columns, so that with his going, the country was purged from his presence and that of the foreigners."

Their future activities, however, showed as to what was in their minds. In any case, these English converged from two directions upon Kabul, and when they reached near Kabul, Vazir Mohamed Akbar Khan, sensing what the English might possibly have in their minds proceeded towards Bamyan. When the Vizir had left the city, the English troops entered Kabul from two directions. For the second time prince Fateh Jung was placed upon the throne, and his Vizir was Ghulam Mohamed Khan son of Shair Mohamed Khan Mukhtarud-Doulah. Nayab Aminullah Khan proclaiming a Holy War took his stand at Char Deh and getting the help of the people of Kohistan raised the standard of revolt. The English knowing of this, sent a column of their men under the leadership of Prince Shahpore to suppress the insurrection at Charikar. This force repulsed the patriots and set fire to Istalif. Fateh Jung, however, seeing the dissatisfaction of the people and being distracted with it all, agreed to renounce the claim to the throne and indicated his desire to accompany the English troops to India. The Prince Shahpore was offered the unfortunate crown, but he too, noticing that the star of the Sadozai rule had really set, sat on a luckless throne, and the people treated him with contempt which he deserved, till his own well-wishers turned away from him."

The English troops were firing from the loop holes, and corners of the streets and walls upon the Ghazis, but the attackers oblivious of impending death, continued to attack the city and were advancing in over-whelming numbers. Two guns and three hundred soldiers were continuously firing at the Ghazis, and barriers consisting of flour bags and animal carcases, constituting hinderinces kept the attackers back and away from the gateway. According to the English version at about 9 in the night the gateway fell outside the walls, and Ghazis swept through the raging flames, climbing the flour bags and dead animals and again and again engaged the enemy with renewed ferocity for three hours. The defending troops were active till midnight, after wich the Ghazis went back.On the 12th of March General Nott returned to Kandahar and the position of the English was then felt to be strong. But the news of the fall of Ghazni which reached Kandahar 31st March, sounded a danger signal in the ears of the English general." HPOS="0" VPOS="0" WIDTH="2550" HEIGHT="3301"/></TextLine>

They knew, too, about the movement for national liberation and activities allied thereto at Killat Ghilzie, and of the men of Ghazni. Here in this article we wish to reveal another aspect of the struggle cassied on in a little known part of the country through a study of which one would note that here as in other regions of the country, arose a national hero who struggled for the indeperndence and release of his countrymen from the stangle-hold of the foreigners."

H. Kandahar and its environs fell in line with the rest of the dominions of Amir Dost Mohamed Khan, and the last vestige of the Kandahari Sirdars was thus removed from the scene of government. This was really a great step that had been taken towards the unity of the kingdom. Shair Ali Khan's success made Sirdar Rahm Dil Khan to flee towards Marouf. Sirdar Mohamed Siddiq Khan, the son of Sirdar Kohin Dil Khan went to Farah. Sirdar Khushdil Khan, son of Sirdar Mihr Dil Khan, and Sirdar Sultan Ali Khan son of Sirdar Kohin Dil Khan fled to Poshanuj. The remaining descendents of the Kandahari Sirdars found their respective hiding places far and near. Sirdar Shair Ali Khan, however, chased all of them, so that Sirdar Jalaluddin Khan, the son of Sirdar Mohamed Akbar Khan arrested Sirdar Mohamed Sadiq Khan at Farah, but he escaped on the way towards Gulistan of Ghour. But from there he arrived at the court of Amir Dost Mohamed Khan. Sirdar Rahm Dil Khan after a great chase was brought before the Amir and because of promises of pardon that had been given through the intermediation of Sirdar Ghulam Haider Khan, the former came to realise that his claim and those of the others, no longer held true , and finally, therefore, the entire descendents of the Sirdars of the ancient city of Kandahar lost all claims to rulership."

Both for himself and his real brothers the above named Sirdars had expectations, and to all of such his incitement was excercised to the full. He wrote a letter to Sirdar Mohamed Afzal Khan at Takhta Pul near Mazar Sharif, and incited him to take Kabul. At the time, as may be remembered the city was under the governorship of Prince, Mohamed Ali Khan, son of Shair Ali Khan. But out of large heartedness he sent in his renewed allegiance to Shair Ali Khan, and contended himself with governing only the northern regions. As this incitement was found to be of no avail in the case of Sirdar Mohamed Afzal Khan, he sent presents through Mirza Ahmed Khan Kashmiree and Nazir Haidar Khan -both being his trusted men-to Kabul. But a letter was discovered from Sirdar Mohamed Azam Khan in which he had written to his brother to take Kabul. The Amir, who was naturally susceptible, thought that this letter was indicative of an alliance between the two brothers from the north and the south, and to both of them replied that they should either make submission or be ready to fight. He sent a number of fighting men towards Zormut against Sirdar Mohamed Azam Khan, and as he could not stand his ground, he was forced to escape to India and to the protection of the English. By this time Amir Shair Ali Khan had dispensed with his rivals, and then thought of driving final conclusions between himself and Sirdar Mohamed Afzal Khan.
