{"book":"adl1197","page":159,"text":"- 142 -\nParticulars of the Kabul Movement were given under the headings of Second of November 1841 in the 30th article of this series.\n\nThe various points about battles that took place between the people and the English at Shairpore were recounted under the title of \"The Mover, The Warrior, the Victor and the Martyr\" in article 31 of this series. These particulars have, therefore, been studied by the readers. The reaction of this movement was made manifest at Charikar and the proximity of Kabul, with Charikar as the point of contact between these two places in this regard. Thus the nationalists of the northern regions atonce attacked the English forces at Killa Lughmani, some five miles from Charikar, and after assassinating some English officers there they chased the English forces to Kabul, and joined hands with the forces of their Kabul friends in the battles of Shairpore.\n\nInspite of the fact that during the severe winter of 1841. A.D. at Ghazni communications between Kabul and Ghazni were very difficult, the news of the uprising of the Afghans at Kabul and their continued resistence reached Ghazni. But this national movement did not come to a conclusive stage due to circumstances already narrated, namely the occupation of Kabul and Jalalabad by the nationalist forces, and the fact that the English forces still held Kabul's Bala Hissar. From the beginning of November 1841. A.D. till the beginning of April 1841 the citedal of Ghazni remained baseiged.\n\nEvery one knows that during two and half years that the English remained in occupation of Afghanistan in the name of Shahshuja the English forces were distributed at three points, that is at Kabul, in Kandahar and at Jalalabad. At Kandahar, the English had a Political Adviser and a General with their troops and one of the sons of the \"King\" Shahshuja was also there as Governor of the place. When these development taking place at Kabul, General Nott was the military Commander and major Rawlinson as the political Agent at Kandahar and Safdar Jung had but recently given over the charge to prince Timour there.","chars":2093,"image":"https://storage.googleapis.com/adl-page-images/adl1197/00159.jpg","first_page":1,"last_page":205,"title":"Men and events through 18th and 19th century Afghanistan","permalink":"https://afghanpress.org/book/adl1197/159","canvas":"https://afghanpress.org/iiif/adl1197/canvas/159","source":"https://afghanistandl.nyu.edu/books/adl1197/","source_pdf":"https://afghanistandl.nyu.edu/pdf/adl1197_download.pdf","rights":{"image":{"statement":"Public domain.
