Durand's Curse : A Line Across The Pathan Heart

cptdoom

Hi, everyone.


I recently finished this book "Durand'sCurse:: A Line Across The Pathan Heart" by Rajiv Dogra.


Finally, a book that gives a complete historical background to how the British cheated the Afghans, how the Pastuns or Pathans have been historically wronged. Rajiv has written on a topic no British historian has ever bothered to write about. The book exposes the treachery of the British and how they tricked the Amir into signing the ambiguous agreement. A must read for anybody who is interested to know the alternate history of Afghanistan, a perspective completely different from the biased Western view.


A good read for anybody interested in a bit of History.

Finished reading wonderful narration which no other British historians would have done.
