Durand Line is the name of the international border between Pakistan and
Afghanistan which was established in 1893 as a result of an agreement between
the British Indian Government and Amir Abdur Rahman, the then ruler of
Afghanistan. The treaty was confirmed in 1905, 1919 and 1930 by successive
Afghan rulers. But in 1947 at the time of the British withdrawal from the Indian
subcontinent and, subsequently, after the creation of Pakistan, Afghanistan began
to raise objections and refused to recognize it as the international frontier between
the two countries. It challenged the validity of the Durand line on several grounds.
It claims that the territory up to river Indus was once part of the Afghan Empire
and since their rightful dominion. However, the Government of Pakistan always
repudiates its claim on every international forum. This paper aims at analysing the
historical, legal and political status of the Durand Line. The objective is to
examine factual evidences to prove whether it is the established international
border between Pakistan and Afghanistan or otherwise.
