2020. Hardcover. New. About the Book :- The author was deputed at Kabul on special political duty in the year of 1870’s. During his stay in Afghanistan, he narrated his account in a very compact manner. He drew a beautiful sketch of Afghanistan and its history, interests and aspirations of the native races which served as a hand book for the officers who were deputed to Afghanistan. Divided into 13 chapters the book discusses a fine picture of the Afghans and their history, British relations with this country. A sketch of Sher Ali, the then king of Afghanistan; it then devotes a chapter each to the various tribes that made up the Afghan nation namely the Pathan, the Yusufzai, the Afridi, the Khaltak, the Dadice, the Ghilji, the Taijk and the Hazarah. He wrote several books based on his explorations in the region during the course of his army career and also studied and wrote on the languages and culture of Afghanistan. For, to know the history, interests, and aspirations of a people, is half the battle gained in converting them to loyal, contended and peaceable subjects to willing participators and active protectors of the welfare of the Empire towards which from position and self-interest, they naturally gravitate. About the Author :- Henry Walter Bellew MRCP was an Indian-born British medical officer who worked in Afghanistan. He wrote several books based on his explorations in the region. He was with the Bengal Army, assistant surgeon in the Bengal Medical Service, and was posted along with Harry Burnett Lumsden and Peter Lumsden on the 1857 mission to Afghanistan. He was in Mardan with the Corps of Guides in the 1860s, and was then in Peshawar as a civil surgeon. He was appointed political officer at Kabul. During the 1857 rebellion, he was in Afghanistan and when he visited Kandahar along with the Lumsdens there were questions on whether the three should be put to death from the son of Dost Mohammad Ghulam Hyder. Bellew's work in treating sick and injured Afghans however ensured that the three were spared.

Tibet is a place of mystic Buddhism, conserved into its own cult, with its generic Bodpa inhabitants in one unity of manners and language. Tibet occupies the most enormous and highest mass of mountains, and broadly divided into two regions - is full of lakes and rivers. The graceful river of Brahmaputra receives the life-blood here in the glan of sporting fountains to serpent the longest earth up through the Indian inviting plains. Graceful Tibet resides on the roof of the world with her inhabitants, cultured to bespeak of innocent godliness and the diseaseless beauty. More often, it seems a land, high on the world, of angels and angel-ladies. Dilapidated, though, in recent years, by the insincere and non-authoritative aggression of feded red China the mountainous living of the people has increased in adverse conditions, the richness of religion and customs has braved them, the angels, to assert their non-violent and peaceful proclaims more distinctively for non-controversial democratic liberty, under the policy and administration head, clergy Dalai Lama. No doubt, today this peace-land though controversial, has made a strong stir of curiosity about her across the world. This condition has brought a two-fold boon to the land: the majority between the Poles stands curious about these non-violent people seeking their autonomy suddenly increasing the turns of Tourism, and secondly, embrace her cause more opinion fully and determinatively. The comprehensive work, of art and study, into two parts, opens upon this pious land, and the contours and recesses of nature and angelic world of this land, in all dimensions, are vivid in the light of search and study. The first part like a tale of unknowingness starts to amaze the readers with vivid accounts. In this part, the author makes a journey through the in-parts of the land meeting with and providing the inmost accounts that is possible only if one interacts with people to people, place to place and finally as a whole of Tibet. The second part introduces Tibet as a nation with its own people and culture, and other tangible systems and affairs needful for a successful run of a state, viz. economy, administration, politics etc. The readers from all parts of the world will find it a good resource on Tibet, the homeland of peaceful Buddhist people.
