It is obvious, of course, that these\nuprisings of the prince did not take place all by themselves.\n\nEveryone knows that Shahshuja and Vazir Fateh Khan came\ntogather and parted several times; and on each occasion when the\nvizir parted with Shahshuja, he betook himself stright to Kandahar,\nso that he could incite prince Qaisar to take and to revolt against\nhis uncle the king Shahshuja. Also, it is known to every one that\nin this the Vazir had an especial motive; for he was in fact in sea-\nrch of a man from amongst the Saduzais, who could manage the\naffairs of the government better. He exted the prince Qaiser several\ntimes to see whether the young prince had it in him to govern\nproperly; but the prince coulde not acquit himself successfully in this\ndirection.\n\nAt long last, when the insubordination of Qaisar had gone bey-\nond endurance, the then governor of Farah, one name Haji Firzud-\ndin, with the order of the uncle of the young prince-Shahshuja-took\nQandahar form the prince. Shahshuja, however, arrived in Kabul and\nnominaied his nephew to the governorate of Kabul. Meantime Shair\nKhan, a former minister of Shahshuja, reached Kabul and induced\nthe young prince Qaisar to go forward to Peshawar against his uncle.\nThis Shair Mohamed Khan, had revolted against Shahshuja together\nwith his son, after the conquest of Kashmire. These min arrived at\nKabul in order to plot with one Ghayes Khan; but Shahshuja journ-\neying by way of Dera Jat also arrived at Kabul, and spoiled the\ndesigns of the plotters. Shair Mohamed Khan and his co-operators\nwere klilled; and Qaisar, who had been hoping help from Persia was\nalso disappointed.","chars":1990,"image":"https://storage.googleapis.com/adl-page-images/adl1197/00039.jpg","first_page":1,"last_page":205,"title":"Men and events through 18th and 19th century Afghanistan","permalink":"https://afghanpress.org/book/adl1197/39","canvas":"https://afghanpress.org/iiif/adl1197/canvas/39","source":"https://afghanistandl.nyu.edu/books/adl1197/","source_pdf":"https://afghanistandl.nyu.edu/pdf/adl1197_download.pdf","rights":{"image":{"statement":"Public domain.
