A H.(July, August & September 1842. A. D. ) were months\nof great distress because of intense conflicts among the leaders\nof this country. In Kabul Fateh Jung son of Shahshuja had pro-\nclaimed himself king. Between him and Nawab Mohamed Zaman\nKhan fighting ensued, the house of the Nayab was sacked onaccount\nof his supposed partiality towards Fateh Jung, Sirdar Mohamed\nAkbar Khan on his return from Jalalabad restarted the fight against\nFateh Jung upon the Marunjan hill, till through the intervention\nof the Nayab it was resolved that Fateh Jung should remain\nkink and Sirdar Mohamed Akbar Khan should become the\nMinister of the Realm. From that date Sirdar Mohamed Akbar\nKhan was known as the Vizir, but unfortunately this settlement\nhad little meaning when the Pollock force entered Kabul, the\ncohesion of national resistance broke down, and Vazir Mohamed\nAkbar Khan left for Bamyan. Fateh Jung came under the protection\nof the English. Nawab Mohamed Zaman Khan, whom the English\nconsidered as their guest sat silently in his house. The only\nman who collected a force of resistance in the north and fought\non to the end in the hills of Istalif against the English\ndetachment sent under Maccaste was Nayab Aminullah Khan\nLogari. The English called him their Enemy Number One, and\nthey had every right to do so, because he was the only active\nleader of the nation at the time. According to the report of one\nof the compatriots of the Nayab, Amir Dost Mohamed Khan during\nthe second period of his reign flung Nayab Aminullah Khan\ninto the dungeon, and the Nayab died in prison at the age of 87 years.","chars":1924,"image":"https://storage.googleapis.com/adl-page-images/adl1197/00157.jpg","first_page":1,"last_page":205,"title":"Men and events through 18th and 19th century Afghanistan","permalink":"https://afghanpress.org/book/adl1197/157","canvas":"https://afghanpress.org/iiif/adl1197/canvas/157","source":"https://afghanistandl.nyu.edu/books/adl1197/","source_pdf":"https://afghanistandl.nyu.edu/pdf/adl1197_download.pdf","rights":{"image":{"statement":"Public domain.
