In 1893, British diplomat Sir Henry Mortimer Durand and Afghan Emir Abdur Rahman Khan signed an agreement that drew a line through the heart of Pashtun territory, splitting families, tribes, and villages between what is now Afghanistan and British India (later Pakistan). In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the backroom negotiations, the strategic pressures of the Great Game, and the immediate resistance from Pashtun tribes who refused to accept the new border. They discuss the line's legacy through the 20th century—how it fueled the Afghan-Soviet war, the rise of the Taliban, and today's cross-border insurgency. The conversation also delves into the Pashtunwali code's concept of yaghistan (land of rebellion), which tribes invoked to justify their defiance of both British and Afghan authority. With vivid details from the dusty border town of Waziristan and the Khyber Pass, this episode offers a stark look at how a line on a map carved by imperial ambition continues to shape regional conflict. #DurandLine #AbdurRahmanKhan #MortimerDurand #GreatGame #Pashtun #Pashtunwali #Yaghistan #KhyberPass #Waziristan #Taliban #SovietAfghanWar #BritishEmpire #Afghanistan #Pakistan #SouthAsia #History #ColonialBorder #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
