English Babies Raised as Pashtun During Anglo-Afghan War

[pashtanajan]

The Retreat from Kabul Was a Severe Blow to British Pride

The loss of so many troops to mountain tribesmen was, of course, a bitter humiliation for the British. With Kabul lost, a campaign was mounted to evacuate the rest of the British troops from garrisons in Afghanistan, and the British then withdrew from the country entirely.


And while popular legend held that Dr. Brydon was the only survivor from the horrific retreat from Kabul, some British troops and their wives had been taken hostage by Afghans and were later rescued and released. And a few other survivors turned up over the years.



One account, in a history of Afghanistan by former British diplomat Sir Martin Ewans, contends that in the 1920s two elderly women in Kabul were introduced to British diplomats. Astoundingly, they had been on the retreat as babies. Their British parents had apparently been killed, but they had been rescued and brought up by Afghan families.

I find that quite interesting so I thought I'd share!

I read about this before too. Apparently they were taken by the Babakar Khel of Jalalabad. and supposedly the Arsala family have some connection with them.

I"ve been looking for this story for a long time. I quoted this many years ago and I lost the source. I looked through a few of my books and I have yet to find it.

[Admin Khan]

That was a very interesting read.

Good story!

The British-Russia has tortured innocent Pashtuns/Afghans very hard for power etc, destroying our country/people many times in the past 200 years. We forgotten others savages, but Anglo Saxon barbarians are still continuing to torture and murder Afghans/Pashtuns TODAY. Our revenge must be so harsh this time and we should not stop to achieve our goal. I have a purpose for a Revenge, you can do it too. The whole Anglo Saxon race must eat their own crap, LITERALLY to survive in this world and the next.

I hope we can beat the Hindus to that. I mean anglos are destroying themselves right now with drugs, alcohol and soon being minority in UK.

I feel like in year 2100-2200 UK will be called New Hindustan, when I see how much hindu-pakis you can see in street of London. They are very rich as well.

Not hindustan but rather Pakistan.Probably "Western Pakistan"

From World Champion Boxer Aamir Khan to the Senior Finance minister in UK are Pakistanis.

Funny thing the ghulam got one day off, and he thinks right away he is king. you are the most coward people on earth. And I know for fact no great Pashtun would ever mix raced with a coward race.

You have been raped by English for 200+ years, so that your own culture/language is in English.

So it makes sense. Racist Afghans most likely have British heritage.

[Pakwatan]

And that's why they think they're White LOL

Hey, the racist Afghan in the kite runner book was half german. Just sayin'.

You're kidding, right?

British Indians have a much longer history and influence in England than Pakistanis. They have many high positions because many of them were already well-educated and well-off back home before they came to England; most South Asian doctors, etc. you see in England are Indian.

I don't understand this inferiority complex Pakistanis get when anything positive concerning India is mentioned. Everyone knows India is a much wealthier nation than Pakistan. Pakistanis shouldn't be ashamed that they were once part of Pakistan and share a cultural, linguistic, and ancestral heritage with them.

I may not agree with Loy Afghanistan's posts and his absurd hatred/dislike towards Anglo-Saxons, and everyone non-Afghan, but this 'competition' Pakistanis have with Indians is pathetic.

The English are a bunch of criminal subhuman peadophile rotten toothed inbred island monkeys.

Was laughing my ass off when I read that Afghans exterminated every single British soldier back in the day.

He thinks there is a different to follow Paki culture and Hindu culture.

You have as much ghairat as the hindu burning woman kaafirs.

You are pathetic nationalist. I am sure that If you were in Pakistan or even Kandhar, you would be hung by your testicles. Kaafir.

Respect for stone worshipers. lol.

You pussy Afghan nationalists are worse than your Iranian counter-parts.
