    Niamatullah's History of the Afghans - Makhzan-e Afghani

    I have this book which i want to give away. Its called Niamatullah's History of the Afghans by Nirodbhusan Roy. Its based on Niamatullah's original book called "Makhzan-e Afghani" مخزن افغان
    Its a good book, read the reviews somewhere if you could find it.
    Would prefer someone picking it up in Toronto.
    Its free I bought it in Saeed Book Bank.

      You don't by chance have "Diwan-e-Ahmad Shah." There are two books written about Ahmad Shah Durrani if I'm not mistaken.

      One was written by a Sikh, and the other was written by an Afghan Historian.

            Is the book in Farsi?

            (I hope not)
            Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

            A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

            For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


            The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

              The original Makhzan-e Afghani is but this is not. This book is a translation of the original book into English by Nirodbhusan Roy.

                Unfortunately, I'm not in Toronto right now. *Sighs*.

                      I think it was more than two years ago. Someone must have picked It up already.

                        This books seems to be a conspiracy of Mughals against Pashtuns calling them descendants of Israelites.

                        Also the theory if meeting of Qais with prophet Muhammad and many other religious elements of the book are a fiction not history.

                          I have a copy. It is a good book on understanding the court and affairs of the Mughals and Indian Afghans. The origin story is a nice fable.

                            It was actually pukhtoons who created this myth that they were the bani Israel and hence due to that they are superior and therefore they deserve the throne, bit like Jews claiming Palestine as god given land to them.
