Ok you could argue the british shouldnt of been there . There were only around 600 white native british troops, the majority were native indian men who were part of british army. Attacking a column of mainly civilians was a pretty cowardly act by anybodies standards.
Until Afghanistan becomes a nation, instead of a bunch of tribes fighting each other over territorial disputes, it will remain outside the community of nations. Unfortunately, the British then, and the Americans of recent history, did not recognize this simple truth. The people who are really hurt by this fact, are the average Afgan. They don't understand the concept of nationhood, and suffer accordingly. What a shame.
They suffered when others were enslaved. And before that they ruled. There is no single boss in Afghanistan and that problem is what everyone face there. From Alexander to America there is no single head to be cut and claim victor. Everyone there is ready to put a show.
Their leader can have literally 800 women in his harem and they treat women like slaves but a woman fraternizing with a British person ok thats unacceptable lol!
That’s a Muslim leader having 800 Muslim women in his PRIVATE Harem, the difference in the way the Brits did it was……They were literally infidels in a Muslim land eyeing the Women of Pashtuns (The most protective and jealous of their women on the planet)…..not a good idea was it?

This is something of a myth that keeps cropping up and serves as a reminder to never ever trust Muslims. The British East India Company, invaded Afghanistan in 1838 to stop Russia expanding into the area. Some 21,000 troops, mostly Indian took part in the invasion, the Afghans were defeated and treaties sighned and most of the EIC army returned to India. In 1842 the remainder, about 4,000 soldiers and 12,000 civilians were granted safe passage to leave Afghanistan. These were then treacherously attacked and butchered.
Do you think the first British invasion of Afghanistan could have been avoided?
Yes, if Allah had willed so.
