		It was not until 1826 that the energetic Dost Mohammad was able to exert sufficient control over his own brothers to take over the throne in Kabul, where he proclaimed himself amir, not shah.
		Dost Mohammad achieved predominance among his ambitious brothers through clever use of the support of his mother's Qizilbash tribesmen and his own youthful apprenticeship under his brother, Fateh Khan.
		In 1836 Dost Mohammad's forces, under the command of his son, defeated the Sikhs at Jamrud, a post some 15 kilometers west of Peshawar.

	Dramatis Personae
		Despite Dost Mohammed's frustration with the British, he nevertheless had a close personal relationship with Burnes, who was resident in Kabul when the Russian delegation arrived.
		Dost's relationship with the British and with Burnes was undermined, however, by a communication in January 1838 from Lord Auckland, demanding that he cease treating with the Russians, as well as give up his claims on Peshawar, in favour of the Sikh claims of Ranjit Singh.
		Dost Mohammed's family is extremely complicated, yet it helps to know something about it in order to better understand the history of his coming to power, and the struggles for power during his life and after his death.

		It stated that in the light of Dost Mohammed's dalliance with powers other than the British, he had shown himself to be unfriendly and would therefore be removed from the throne and replaced by Shah Shujah.

		Afghanistan’s position as a buffer state between the Russian Empire and British India, meant that the British and Indian authorities were anxious to ensure that a pro-British Emir was on the throne at Kabul.
		This led Lord Auckland, the Governor-General of India, to conclude that Dost Mohammed was anti-British and the decision was taken to replace him as Emir with a former ruler, Shah Shuja who was considered to be more malleable.
		Dost Mohammed fled from Kabul and Shah Shuja was duly installed as Emir in August.

		Mohammed Zahir Shah, born to rule Afghanistan 87 years ago, returned to his homeland to end his days as an ordinary citizen, but many still regard him as their king.
		Dost Mohammed formed an alliance with them to stop Sikh claims on his territories, but when he asked his new allies to leave they stripped him of his title and installed another of his feuding brothers, Shah Shuja, who ruled from 1803-1809 and again from 1839-1842.

		The ill-preparedness and ignorance of the vast and cumbersome Army of the Indus was apparent as it traversed the politically and geographically hostile territory of Sind and Baluchistan.
		Dost Monammad at first offered terms; as these were rejected and his supporters melted away he abandoned Kabul and sought asylum at Bokhara.
		Dost Muhammad returned to Kabul (and his brother Kohan Dil Khan to Kandahar) and the situation stabilised somewhat, although the previous three years had undone much of the Amir's previous work.

		The living counted themselves, and then the dead sons, and then the sons to come, who were not yet born, whom Dost Mohammed loved best, said their names, but only to Dost Mohammed in the dark shade raised over his head.

	Spectator, The: Playing (and not playing) the game
		Alexander Burnes entertained Vitkevich to Christmas dinner in Kabul, when they were both vying for Dost Mohammed's allegiance, and strongly regretted afterwards that their respective positions made it impossible for them to become friends.
		Dost Mohammed, in particular, became something of an object of admiration, despite everything; he beat the British hands down, and regained his throne after the British interregnum was brought to an end by mass slaughter orchestrated by his son Akbar.
		What happened has been told many times, and it still beggars belief: Akbar, Dost Mohammed's son, succeeded in killing pretty well the entire British forces, letting only one man, the famous Dr Brydoh, return to the garrison at Jalalabad to tell the tale.
