The Afghans are divided into three independent groups:

The Afghans under British rule, or what we may call the Queen's Afghans, who inhabit the border districts along the Indus, Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu, Kohat, Peshawer, and Hazara. They were conquered in 1849, with the Sikhs, their then masters.

The Afghans of Afghanistan proper, or the Emir's Afghans, - the only part of the race that forms something like an organized power.

The Afghans of Yaghistan, "the rebel or independent country," that is to say, those Afghans who do not belong either to the British Raj or to the Emir, but live in the native national anarchy in the western basin of the upper Indus, - Swat, Buner, Panjkora, Dir, etc. The Afghan of Yaghistan is the true, unsophisticated Afghan.

The word Yaghistan derived from ostensibly from yaghi had diverse meanings. From oily or slippery, to uncontrollable or unmanageble. This term was used in Afghans to refer to the tribal Pakhtuns dwelling in the center of Pakhtunkhwa. Amir Abdur Rahman used the term in his memoirs to refer to the unruly Pakhtun population divided between Afghanistan and British India.
