Consistently impressed by your ability to produce high-quality documentaries like this on Islamic history, especially on important subjects which receive less attention in both popular and scholarly media.
The pashtun struggle for Independence and an empire starts way before the British domination of the area. You have to read about Aimal khan Mohmand. How he defeated the Mughal army at the battle of Karapa. The pashtun has oral tradition so most of the writing is coming from the other side.
Wonderful images, especially the 18th/19th-century watercolours, and I love how the Westerners are represented in the Mughal paintings (miniatures?). Super interesting to hear about the Great Game from the Afghani perspective. First-class research and presentation, great video.
Speaking of Jihad against the British, there was a Jihad movement gaining ground in South Asia as well. Syed Ahmed Barelevi, who was wary of Sikh gains in the North West frontier, waged a jihad against them by instigating the frontier tribes against them. However his strict injunctions of Islamic law on a people governed by tribal customs was met with opposition. Eventually, the Pathans deserted him and he himself was killed in a battle against the Sikhs at Balakot in 1831.
loving your channel. i spent about 40 months of my life in different provinces of Afghanistan and always said i wanted to bring my family to visit. it’s an l beautiful country. the people are generous and were always very welcoming and beyond kind to their guests, as long as you showed them the same respect you’d expect and spent the time to learn their customs and laws. the day Afghanistan fell to the Taliban was a genuinely dark day for me and many of my brothers that fought there…. true freedom was smothered in its cradle. tbh the food is fuckin’ bangin, too.
The tomb of Sardar Dost Muhammad Khan, the establisher of Bhopal province and his wife Fateh Bibi is situated in the campus of Gandhi Medical College. Their son Yaar Muhammad Khan built this tomb in the year 1742 A.D. Built on a high square platform, this tomb is enclosed by 12 feet high walls on all the sides.
Only just caught up with your recent content. Really enjoyed it all especially this. I had heard of him, but did not understand the context. This answered questions and filled the gaps in. Fascinating.
I am truly ashamed. I know NOTHING about the history of Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan...the entire middle east. Nothing. I thought I did. The history I had been taught - and assumed - was flat, two dimensional and began in the twentieth century. After watching, and being inspired by these videos to look deeper, I find myself shaking my head and whispering to myself, "So, that's why..." Thank you.
He was a lazy and incompetent ruler who had his own brother murdered to rule the throne. His son was a much better person and had a vision for Afghanistan and most defiantly to not let it become a British colony or protectorate. May Allah grant peace & forgiveness to Wazir Akbar Khan.

The Durrani Empire is considered to be the foundational polity of the modern nation state of Afghanistan, with Ahmad Shah Durrani being credited as its Father of the Nation. However, Dost Mohammad Khan is sometimes considered to be the founder of the first modern Afghan state.
Not all of them but some.. I guess for durrannis it's clear because he spends most of his life in Herat and Iran. But for the rest it may be because of the influence from the safavid or before them. But in my conclusion you may be wrong because most of them had Arabic names as for being Persian or Dari names. Such:Amir shir Ali Abdul Rahman Khan, Amanullah Khan, Habibibullah, Zahir Shah, Dawood , and so on .
Persian culture in this region had been extremly dominant for millennia- you see this phenomenon happen with cultures near any large powerful empire: Ruling classes will often adopt names, lifestyles and even cultures of these Empires. Farsi in that way was similiar to latin and later french in europe or chinese in East Asia. You can see it even with the questionable Russian Diplomat in this story- he was a lithuanian Noble with a Polish Name, because Polish culture dominated in that Region and was seen as more sophisticated. So rulers near these ancient and powerful cultures would adopt their customs and names. For one to distinguish themselves from their subjects: Its signaling that they arent just another Afghan Chieftain, but a uniquely powerful Lord, associating themselves with the memory of a millennia long Empire. On the other, ruling classes would see these imperial cultures as "better", sophisticated, with a larger cultural Heritage and therefore wanted to tie themselves to this reputation. Showing they were "civilized". This of course has nothing to do with Afghanistan being somehow less or having "worse" culture than persian -but the Upper classes often saw it that way. As a comparision: in europe, rulers would call themselves Caesars and Emperors for centuries.
What are the Farsi names ? Isn’t that 90% Arabic names and 10% names are based on nature ? So what’s your point here ? Pashtuns can’t have Farsi people’s name ? Lol😂😂

Excellent video Brilliant video Strange, in the past 50 years, the people of Afghanistan has lost all concept of national unity. They are defined by regional tribes and religious movements yet since before the time of Alexander the Great until recently, they were ONE people.
"Oddly enough, Vitkevich was never confirmed to be an official Russian envoy..." I mean he was a probably Russian diplomat. "... and would later commit suicide under mysterious circumstances." Yup. Definitely a Russian diplomat.
Afghanistan had a very long and ancient history stretching into Hindu Buddhist Indo Greek Vedic Indus Valley history But weirdly The history of Afghanistan In this video is only limited to last few centuries during the Islamic period
This video is about the best and least biased summary of Afghan history during the life of Dost Mohammad Khan. Whole books have been written that are worse. Britain's involvement is typical of its nineteenth century colonial adventures; it's always some combination of fail to understand the situation, invade, lose, invade again, win, rule in competently.
Decendants of ranjit singh wanted to ally with afghan against brit due to what ever the emir sided with brits had they allied and perhaps with gurkhas as well our countries would have been much different. But we must learn from mistakes of the past
@toor01the biggest reason of success of ranjit singh were the hindu dogra rajputs who were very loyal mercenaries for the sikhs. Many of the famed generals are the dogras who helped ranjit singh conquer the northern parts of the sikh empire which is modern day gilgit baltistan, pakistani kashmir, indian jammuand kashmri and ladakh. When they shifted their loyalties from the sikhs to british, the sikh empire fell off and never recovered. Their importance was so much that they were pretty much independent even within the sikh empire on their own lands which was jammu and kashmir, Ladakh and pakistani kashmir. One of the many important reasons why india has been able to keep a strong control over kashmir despite islamic insurgency is because of the complete loyalties of dogras to the indian state which is very obvious as they are mostly hindus (28% of jammu and kashmir population).
@toor01 which rajputs are talking? I am not talking about the plain area rajputs but the dogra rajputs who were perhaps the single largest community serving the ranjit singh's army and the conquests of jammu and kashmir and khyber always had an important component of dpgras.
@toor01 sikh rule was weak is based on certain perspectives. The real rulers in the north were dogras who always had a strong control over these regions and run their parallel rule alongside sikh rule. It were basically the dogras who were ruling the northern areas on behalf of sikhs
@toor01 it's very obvious mountains have always been more challenging to rule than plains but if according to you that mean that their were local warlords who had autonomy then this wasn't the case. Any revoltwas violently crushed. The most famous one being the revolt of balakot by Syed Ahmad Barelvi which was crushed and he was beheaded. Interestingly the campaign from the sikhs was led by a muslim punjabi general Ilahi khan.
@toor01 if you look at it from this perspective, the much od india was never under mughal control and only on paper there was mughal presence. There are constant attacks by restive rajputs, jatts marathas on mughal caravans and soldiers from time to time. I am from Saran, Bihar and here in 16th century it was mostly forested and occupied by restive rajput tribes (who themselves have migrated in 16th century from punjab and central india) and despite mughal rule on this place, the revenue coming from this region was zero because nomughal official could come here to collect revenue. This was the reason that purabia rajputs as they were known would also actively and happily supported the British in 1857 revolt as they see the revolt as an act of reinstating mughal empire.
He invited British Colonialists to Afghanistan and yet Muslims praise him. Heheheheh this is absurd. His Son Wazir Akbar Khan was a true warrior though.
Brother i would like tonshare a nee viewpoint with you to some extent i feal the rus brit battle was rouge to confuse desi s because if we look they together attacked other asian empires etc. Truely a great game divide and rule etc zalims
His both attempts to takw back Peshwar was biggest failure.And Hari Singh was not killed in battle. He was wounded badly. And survived 2 days. And that was not Akbar khan who killed Hari Singh Nalwa. Akbar khan was not a simple soldier who spare sikhs without capturing peshwar. He failed much earlier in this battle and take his stand in Kyber pass. Where sikhs are not able to fought much.

There are 2 versions of Hari Singh Nalwa's death. The first one states that during the fight, Wazir Akbar Khan and Hari Singh Nalwa came face to face and fought each other. Wazir Akbar Khan won the fight and wounded Hari Singh Nalwa who was rescued by his men who transported him back to the Jamrud fort where he died due to the sword wound Wazir Akbar Khan inflicted on him. The second version states that during the fighting, Hari Singh Nalwa was shot twice by a random Afghan soldier and transported back to the safety of the fort of Jamrud by his men where he died of his wounds sustained by the 2 bullets he had recieved.

@GreaterAfghanistanMovement Warch the video. He is saying Burns actually was fond of women, and he was disliked because he used to bring Afghan married women. Their husbands were not happy with the idea, and the day he was killed, there were a lot of Afghan married ladies present in his house and their husbads were the one who lead this charge. He used to have parties with Afghan women, and there was no issue. But it looks like this time, he brought a woman of some Afghan chief who got infuriated. Afghan society is tolerant towards gay sex but they don't accept anyone even look at their women. In such a culture, Burns was partying with Afghan women. On top of that, he was bringing the wives of big Afghan leaders. Such cultural insensitive lead to his death.
@@AR-fr8br Why would i take everything in this video as face value? The fact that some foreign white man can seduce local women is only possible in fantasy or drama but not in reality. Afghanistan is an extremely patriarchal society where women are the gem of society and messing with an Afghan woman's honour, could get you killed. The fact that you think this could have happened without anyone noticing,( that too in very conservative and tribal society) makes you extremely naive. Even Burnes knew this which is why he had a Kashmiri aide that provided him Kashmiri and Punjabi concubines to fill his urges. Its even believed that it was his aide that double crossed him because he couldn't stand what he was doing and of course Wazir Akbar Khan dealt with him. All those things you mentioned are myths and never happened. In fact, the sole idea was invented by orientalist writers after the first war such as John Kaye. Also we don't tolerate gay sex, we are not the west, who told you that anyways?

@@HikmaHistory Thank you for your attention. I believe adding animated videos to the related topic would enhance the imaginative aspect of the content. If implemented in an advanced way, this could significantly increase the video's reach. Moreover, animated videos can be used to create visually appealing images. Channels like Epic History, Omar of the Orient, and somehow Al Muqadimah have successfully incorporated animated videos into their content, resulting in engaging and informative experiences. Lastly, I don't meant to criticize your work. You're doing fantastic things and have put in a lot of effort. As an Afghan, I appreciate every single moment you dedicate to creating these videos.

@@AR-fr8br Why would i take everything in this video as face value? The fact that some foreign white man can seduce local women is only possible in fantasy or drama but not in reality. Afghanistan is an extremely patriarchal society where women are the gem of society and messing with an Afghan woman's honour, could get you killed. The fact that you think this could have happened without anyone noticing,( that too in very conservative and tribal society) makes you extremely naive. Even Burnes knew this which is why he had a Kashmiri aide that provided him Kashmiri and Punjabi concubines to fill his urges. Its even believed that it was his aide that double crossed him because he couldn't stand what he was doing and of course Wazir Akbar Khan dealt with him.
All those things you mentioned are myths and never happened. In fact, the sole idea was invented by orientalist writers after the first war such as John Kaye. Also we don't tolerate gay sex, we are not the west, who told you that anyways?

Afghanistan is starving due to Durand Line.
I love the content shared by Hikma History. Your work is a valuable contribution to this generation.
But I was wondering why you don't add some motion vedio graphy, it definitely will enhance the vedio reaching limitation and curiosity for the viewers.
Thank you Ahmad. What do you mean "motion videography"?

Thank you for your attention.
I believe adding animated videos to the related topic would enhance the imaginative aspect of the content. If implemented in an advanced way, this could significantly increase the video's reach. Moreover, animated videos can be used to create visually appealing images.
Channels like Epic History, Omar of the Orient, and somehow Al Muqadimah have successfully incorporated animated videos into their content, resulting in engaging and informative experiences.
Lastly, I don't meant to criticize your work. You're doing fantastic things and have put in a lot of effort. As an Afghan, I appreciate every single moment you dedicate to creating these videos. I just want to suggest something as a Muslim brother.
