This program presents an in-depth exploration of one of the most significant chapters in Afghanistan’s history: the Treaty of Gandamak and its consequences.
The program begins with the political backdrop of the 19th-century “Great Game,” covering the crises during Amir Sher Ali Khan’s rule, the weakness of Yaqub Khan, a detailed explanation of the treaty’s articles, the tribal resistance, Ayub Khan’s victory at the Battle of Maiwand, and the lasting impact of the treaty during Abdur Rahman Khan’s reign.
This is not only the story of a treaty’s signing, but also a reflection on Afghanistan’s independence, popular resistance, and the tragedy of the Durand Line.
