Sardar Patel was once a close friend of Auchinleck but after partition he became not only the most vociferous critic of Auchinleck but also openly challenged his impartiality and integrity. See Muqeem Khan, op. cit., p. 33. Again it seems particularly strange that Auchinleck was too hopeful about the Indian officers despite the fact that intelligence reports had given him a somewhat sceptical picture about the reliability of Indian officers. Perhaps he thought that he himself had done so much for their uplifting and, perhaps, in gratitude, they would stand by him. See TP 1942-47, Document No. 186, May 3, 1948, Vol. 13.

Ali mentions the case of Travancore which opted for independence and how Mountbatten managed to bring about the accession. By contrast he did nothing for Pakistan, although as a Crown representative he owed an equal duty to both the dominions. In many disputed cases he threw his weight in favour of India. See Ali, ibid., pp. 230-5. The Maharaja of Jodhpur also expressed his wish to join Pakistan but Mountbatten warned him that his subjects, being predominently Hindu, would seriously oppose it and the accession would surely be in conflict with the principle underlying the partition of India on the basis of Muslim and non-muslim majority areas. As a

In viceroy's personal report, Mountbatten wrote that both Nehru and Gandhi were pathological on the subject of the states and both insisted that they wanted to get to Kashmir.

Prager, 1968), pp. 79-80. 363. Broadly speaking the British policy towards the North West Frontier can be classified into two categories: close border policy and forward policy. From the time of the British annexation of Punjab up to the outbreak of the second Afghan War is often termed as a period in which close border policy was practised. The supporters of close border schools were advocating that the British should avoid taking on the responsibility of direct administrative control and defence of the territory beyond Indus. Compared to the close border school, the exponents of forward policy were promoting an aggressive policy bringing all the frontier tribes under one authority and pushing the border up to the Hindukush range. The period between the second Afghan War to the creation of the North West Frontier Province is generally regarded as a forward policy period. Three reasons account for the success of the forward policy: 1) Russian advances in Central Asia; 2) in each decade the supporters of close border were few and much less influential than those advocating forward policy; 3) lack of strong central authority among the tribesmen. For details of various schools and especially the forward policy school see Richard Issaq Bruce, The Forward Policy and its Result (Quetta: Gosha-e- Adad, 1977), a reprint.

While it is true that Amir Abdur Rahman expressed his satisfaction over the Durand Line Agreement of 1893, he did not like the fact that the tribes of Yagistan were placed on the eastern side of the line. During the succeeding years the hill tribesmen undertook innumerable raids on the British territory. It was a known fact that often these tribes were encouraged by the Kabul Government.

No fewer than 50 such expeditions were mounted against these tribesmen between 1849-1947. See Newsweek, 5 June 1961. 371. Alan Campbell-Johnson called this situation a 'bastard situation'. What he

Notes 197 really meant was that the Congress Ministry was still in power in a Province where more than 90 per cent of the population was Muslim and the majority of the people, by 1947, had gone over to the Muslim League.

Despite the fact that Nehru once admitted to Mountbatten quite candidly that NWFP could not possibly stand by itself, the Congress Committee in the NWFP and the Khudai Khidmatgars or Red Shirts passed a resolution that a 'Free Pathan State of all Pakhtoons be established'.

Gandhi tried very hard to detach the NWFP from Pakistan but the facts of geography, the logic of the situation and the will of the people proved too strong for him. He even charged Nehru for 'being largely, responsible for the situation in regard to referendum'. See Ali, op. cit., pp. 164-5. 377.

A Tanzim-i-Sarfaroshan was secretly set up whose membership was deliberately kept on the low side. It was through this Tanzim that the people all over the region were kept fully informed about the developments. A plan was devised by the leaders of Gilgit Scouts, Tanzim leaders and Captain Hasan Khan of Kashmir Army to overthrow the Governor on 6 November 1947. News of the plot was leaked and the Governor took immediate action by ordering Colonel Majid Khan to send forces from Bunji on 31 October 1947. Sensing the danger Babar Khan consulted the Gilgit Scouts and took immediate action by pushing back the 'D' day from 6 November to the night of 31 October, and arrested the Governor at about 8.00 p.m. on 1 November. The very same day the Kashmir flag was lowered and Pakistan's flag was hoisted and a request was sent to Pakistan to take over- Ibid. 440.

Justice Din Muhammad went to see Jinnah in order to secure his consent to

200 Notes resign from the Boundary Commission. He informed Jinnah that Radcliffe had already settled in his mind the line of demarcation of the boundary which was seriously prejudicial to Muslim interests. But Jinnah refused to give the desired permission. See Zafrullah Khan op. cit., p. 140. Jinnah referred to the award as unjust, incomprehensible and even perverse but asserted that as honourable people it had to be accepted because of the prior commitment to the Boundary Commission.

By skilful moves Sandeman was able to extend British influence over the entire Baluchistan. His system rested on the occupation of central points in Kalat and tribal territory in considerable force, linking them together by the fair-weather roads, and leaving the tribes to manage their own affairs according to their customs and working through their Chiefs and Maliks. In many ways the system was described as one of indirect rule. See Caroe, op. cit., p. 376. Also see Thomas Henry Thornton, Sir Robert Sandeman: His Life and Work (London: John Murray 1895), p. 94. Sandeman's achievements were greatly appreciated by his British colleagues like Sir Mortimer Durand. See Durand's letter to Lord Roberts, quoted in Sykes, op. cit., p. 171.

Notes 201 Anglo-Persian Boundary Commission of 1896 and the Southern portion of it was demarcated by pillars to the bank of the Talab River. North of this point, the demarcation never materialised. The Iran-Pakistan boundary is known as the 'Goldsmid Line' after the name of the Chairman of Perso-Baluch Commission of 1891. Quoted in footnotes in Razvi, op. cit., p. 205. Also see Lamb, op. cit., pp. 83-5. 473. Killa Safaid was occupied by the Pakistani Chagai Militia to which the Iranian authorities protested and questioned Pakistan possession of Killa Safaid.

There were people in Pakistan who resented the Pakistan-Iranian boundary agreement and questioned the Pakistan Government's constitutional right to transfer territory to an alien power.

Also see Lamb, op. cit., pp. 84-5. 478. Prescott, op. cit., p. 66. 479. Pakhtoonistan connotes different meanings to different people. To some it means an independent state consisting of Pakhtoons living on the eastern side of the Durand Line. To others it means a semi-autonomous state within Pakistan. In terms of area, some say Pakhtoonistan includes only the province of NWFP and the frontier states, while others maintain that Pakhtoonistan includes areas from Chitral to the Arabian Sea. The Afghan Government since 1947 has consistently projected the Pakhtoonistan issue whereas the Pakistanis do not recognise the problem as Kabul would like them to do. For detailed discussion of Pakhtoonistan with both the Kabul and Islamabad viewpoints see Burke, op. cit., pp. 85-90.
