Dost Muhammad Khan lived two hundred years ago, but his stature as the byword for an illustrious ruler had a long-lasting resonance. Surviving many dangers in a tempestuous era, he laid the foundations for not only the Barakzai dynasty but also the state of Afghanistan. With the decay of the Durrani Empire, Afghanistan had a need for a strong ruler that could keep the realm unified. The Dost fit that bill perfectly. For much of his reign, he had to balance dealing with internal discord in his realm, whilst protecting it from outside for like the capable Sikh armies of Ranjit Singh. Perhaps his greatest victory came in mediating the Great Game rivalry of Britain and Russia, who both had their own designs for his Emirate. Who was this larger-than-life figure, and what was his story?

I want to thank Timur Khan for his invaluable help with the script. He is a PhD Candidate at Leiden University. His research focuses on Durrani rule in 18th and 19th century Peshawar. Check out his Academia page: leidenuni.academia.edu/TimurKhan

Poor Dost. The East India Company overthrew king Dost in an unprovoked act of aggression because the Company feared he MAY form diplomatic relations with Russia. 😢

Britain created Pakistan with a powerful military to maintain Britain's imperial legacy & enforce British Victorian era Russophobic foreign policy in Afghanistan & Indus valley. Great Game. 🤪
