was born in Asadabad in Kunar. He died in Turkey, but in 1944 his body
was exhumed and reinterred outside Kabul University and a monument
constructed over the grave.

22 See Katib, Sarāj al-Tawārīkh, vol. ii, pp. 314–17. This official history was
written nearly fifty years after the Umballa Conference and reflects an
emerging, anti-British nationalist discourse in relation to this event and
the build-up to the Second Anglo-Afghan War.
