#Historical_Notes📖 At that time, Waziristan was part of Afghanistan. Malik Angoor Khan, a Waziristani tribal leader, held a first-class (most prestigious political) royal passport in 1954. The late Haji Angoor Khan and his family were among the anti-British Waziristani figures during the Third Anglo-Afghan War, and Waziristan’s Angoor Adda is named after him. He belonged to the Baramel tribe and the Yargul Khel of the Wazirs and was the leader of the tribal militia. During the reign of the late Nadir Khan, he was granted a monthly salary of 4,000 Afghanis and leadership over the civil division. Mohammad Zahir Khan sent all these tribal leaders on Hajj at his own expense. The late Angoor Khan passed away in 1957 at the age of 71 and was buried in Waziristan. The following information about him is recorded on his passport I have: •Father’s Name: Nazim Khan •Nationality: Afghan •Rank: Civil division leader, militia •Place: Waziristan •Destination: Arabia •Purpose of Travel: Hajj, by airplane This passport is written in French and Pashto. Due to the deep ties between the people of Waziristan and Afghanistan, neither British India nor later Pakistan were ever able to take control of Waziristan.

In Honor of Afghanistan’s Independence – #Historical_Notes: Afghans celebrate the 28th of Asad each year as Independence Day, and the festivities are usually held during the month of Sunbula. Although Afghanistan’s independence and the Third Anglo-Afghan War were downplayed and portrayed as insignificant by the British, this conflict is regarded as a major war. During this war, British India suffered financial losses amounting to 16 million pounds, and around 2,000 of their soldiers were killed.
