Durand Line : The Truth د ډیورنډ توره کرښه - David Barsanian

د ډیورنډ توره کرښه
Durand Line : The Truth is from an interview by David Barsanian who explains very well the conditions at which the Durand line treaty was formulated, it's political importance to the British Raj at the time and cold war between Britain and Russia.
Mr. Barsanian also explains how this affects the majority Pashtoon population surrounding the line on both sides and it's importance to them.
--------------------------
Short history: Durand Line Treaty was a treaty between the Afghan government and the British in India in which the British deliberately drew a line to divide the PASHTOONS who dared to resist the British and push them back several times.
The Pashtoons on both sides and the King himself Amanullah Khan at the time never recognized this line and they still travel freely to both sides.
The treaty was presented in 3 languages, PASHTO, DARI and ENGLISH out of which only the ENGLISH version was signed, a language not known by the king AMANULLAH KHAN.

WIKI :
The Durand Line (Pashto: د ډیورنډ توره کرښه) refers to the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, which is poorly marked and approximately 2,640 kilometers (1,610 miles) long. It was established after the 1893 Durand Line Agreement between the Government of colonial British India and Afghan Amir Abdur Rahman Khan for fixing the limit of their respective spheres of influence. It is named after Henry Mortimer Durand, the Foreign Secretary of British India at the time. The single-page agreement which contains seven short articles was signed by H. M. Durand and Amir Abdur Rahman Khan, agreeing not to exercise interference beyond the frontier line between Afghanistan and what was then colonial British India (now Pakistan).[1] A joint British-Afghan demarcation survey took place starting from 1894, covering some 800 miles of the border.[2][3] The resulting Durand Line established the "Great Game" buffer zone between British and Russian interests in the region.[4] This poorly marked border cuts through the Pashtun tribal area and lies in one of the most dangerous places in the world.[5][6][7] Although shown on most maps as the western international border of Pakistan, it is unrecognized by Afghanistan

[irfaanonline]

@busola100 1st of Mr. correct ur words there are only pakhtuns not paki pakhtuns. pakistani is another thing while pakhtun is the nation who have there own histry of 5500 years, while pakistan has 64 years unsucceful histry. pakhtuns have their own country from begining, while pakistan are for those who have not thier own country. pakistan need pakhtun, while pakhtuns need great Afghanistan, and pakhtuns have no need of pakistan...... Pakistan is a state of anti pakhtuns and baloch...
