Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Lytton and the Afghan War And who is the N 0110 of Spiti? The very mention of such a potentate seems to throw a shade of ridicule over a very grave question. It was a source of amusement to frontier officers a few years ago, when the Supreme Government penned a despatch, intimating to the lieutenant-governor of the Punjab that the penal code was to be introduced into the territories of the N ono of Spiti. The lieutenant-governor had a sketch made of this redoubtable potentate in his primitive costume, of a single cloth round his loins (commonly termed a langoti), with his plough on his shoulders, and his two little daughters carrying the seed, on their way to their agricultural labours. This sketch he sent into Government, and nothing more was heard of the introduction of the penal code. To place this head man of a wild valley in the Himalaya mountains, with an income of probably not more than three pounds a month, in the same category as the Amir of Cabul, requires great confidence in the ignorance of those to whom the argument was addressed.

Download or read book Lord Lytton and the Afghan War written by William Joseph Eastwick and published by . This book was released on 1879 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Lytton and the Afghan War is a scathing critique of the Afghan policies of Edward Robert Bulwer-Lytton, the viceroy of India who is credited with provoking the Second Anglo-Afghan War. A poet, novelist, and diplomat, Lytton was appointed viceroy in 1876 by Conservative prime minister Benjamin Disraeli. Lytton purportedly feared the spread of Russian influence in Central Asia. In November 1878 he launched the invasion of Afghanistan from British India by an Anglo-Indian force with the aim of replacing the Afghan amir, Sher Ali, who was reputed to harbor pro-Russian sentiments, with a ruler more favorable to Britain. Published in 1879 by William Joseph Eastwick, a former high-ranking official of the East India Company, the book criticizes the errors of fact and judgment made by Lytton in pursuit of his "forward" policy toward Afghanistan. Eastwick accuses Lytton of misleading Parliament and the British public about the situation in the country, exaggerating the threat posed by Sher Ali, underestimating the duration and ferocity of the resistance the invasion was likely to provoke, disregarding previous diplomatic understandings with Russia, and undermining progress in India, where Eastwick regarded British rule as a force for good. Many of Eastwick's pessimistic predictions about the war were eventually borne out, as the conflict dragged on until the fall of 1880 with rising human, financial, and political costs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Causes of the Afghan War They consist of more than 500 folio pages well filled with print; and the amount of time for studying them before the debates in Parliament was therefore extremely scanty. The result is that the mass of matter has hitherto been very insufficiently elucidated; and indeed the debates in Parliament turned to an undue extent on the party issues raised by Lord Cranbrook's de spatch. A great deal yet remains to be said before the people at large can understand what has been done and is being done. This must be the work of many pamphlets, articles, and speeches. And the Committee conceive that an arrangement of the material parts of the papers in order, coupled with such statements as will suffice to connect and elucidate them, with com ments on the salient points, and with proper references to the originals as published, will be the best way of lightening the labours of those who wish either to ex pound the subject to others or to understand it them selves. We have also given fi'om a separate Blue-book an account of the occupation of Quetta, which is con nected with the consideration of Afghan affairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Afghan War: A Speech Delivered in the House of Lords Viscount cranbrook. - My lords, I very much regret that it should have fallen to my lot, as Minister for India, to be the person whose duty it is to lay before the House of Lords the question of the war in that part of the world. I occupied for some years the office of Minister for War, but I am happy to say that while filling that Office it was my good fortune to be a Minister of Peace, though during the whole of that time the department with which I was connected was occupied in making preparations, and I believe that the best way of preparing for war is to put a bold face on the matter - to say what you mean, and do what you have said. (hear, hear.) My lords, the motion I have to make is in these terms That, Her Majesty having directed a military expedition of her forces charged upon Indian revenues to be dispatched against the Ameer of Afghanistan, this House consents that the revenues of India shall be applied to defray the expenses of the military operations which may be carried on beyond the external frontiers of Her Majesty's Indian possessions. My lords, in 1858 the Act was passed for the Government Of India, and with the view of putting a check to a certain extent on the powers of the Indian Government, clauses were introduced to which I shall refer and which are not in harmony with the supposed duty of the Government suggested by the noble earl (earl Grey) who moved the amendment to the Address. The noble earl thought that the Cabinet should be entirely precluded from going to war until a preliminary notification of its intention to do so had been given to Parliament. I am not now going to argue whether or not in other kinds of war there is or should be such a principle; but I do say that by the Act of 1858 Parliament sanctioned the prin ciple that Her Majesty's Government may make war in India.

Of all the wars in which our troops have taken part never was one entered upon so recklessly or so unjustifiably. The ruler Of Afghanistan, Dost Mahomed, was sincerely anxious for our friendship.

Our commissioner at Cabul, Mr. Burnes, ' was convinced Of the Ameer's honesty Of intention, and protested most strongly against the course taken by the Indian government, who determined upon setting up a dis credited prince, who had for many years been a fugitive in India, in place Of Dost Mahomed.
