Progressive Afghanistan

1933

The attack on the capital and on the person of the King and the capture of the public treasury in broad daylight had been thought out. [...] Of the noblemen and the scholars those who could find a 43chance left the capital and took shelter in the remotest parts of the country out of the reach of the Bacha and his colleagues. [...] By such extortions of money and fofeitures of the estates and properties of the nobles and the wealthy merchants the Bacha was able to accumulate enough wealth to meet the heavy cost of his large standing army and to win some of the powerful tribal chiefs over to his side. [...] Such was the. deplorable condition of the unfortunate inhabitants of this land when the victorious army of Marshal Nadir Khan under the leadership of his younger brother Sardar Shah Wali Khan entered the capital bombarded the Arg and after a gallant attack captured it ; thus bringing to an end the cruel regime of the Bacha 49and the miseries of the people. [...] CHAPTER V ALI AHMAD JAN IN THE EAST The narrative of the rising in the cast after the fall of Nimla is in a great degree the story of the adventures of Wali Ali Ahmad Jan; so great was the part he played in that act of the drama.
