Abstract
British rule in the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent, particularly its effective
control and administration in the tribal belt along the Pak-Afghan border,
is a fascinating story of administrative genius and pragmatism of some of the
finest British officers of the time. The unruly land that could not be
conquered or permanently subjugated by warriors and conquerors like
Alexander, Changez Khan and Nadir Shah, these men from Europe
controlled and administered with unmatched efficiency. An overview of the
British administrative set-up and strategy in Khyber Agency during the years
1849-1947 would help in assessing British strengths and weaknesses and
give greater insight into their political and military strategy. The study of the
colonial system in the tribal belt would be helpful for administrators and
policy makers in Pakistan in making governance of the tribal areas more
efficient and effective particularly at a turbulent time like the present.
