About this book
Afghan and Pathan: A Sketch
Author: George Batley Scott
Year: 1929
Drawing on his lifelong experience as a Survey of India official since 1863 and participant in the Afghan War, George Batley Scott offers an insightful sketch of Afghan and Pathan (Pashtun) peoples, their customs, and frontier dynamics. This concise volume explores tribal clans like Afridis, Ghilzais, and Khattaks; historical feuds; British interactions; and geography of key regions such as Khyber Pass, Kabul River, and Kandahar. Illustrated with a frontispiece and folding map, it remains one of the most informed early 20th-century accounts of Afghanistan's ethnic and socio-political landscape.
