Clash at the Crossroads: The Tense Encounter Between Afghanistan and Chitral in the Battle of Birkot

In the summer of 1919, amidst the third Anglo-Afghan war, a fresh conflict emerged in the highest reaches of the Hindu Kush mountains, where Afghan troops engaged with British forces.

Chitralis Bangerd Afghans

As the Third Anglo-Afghan war commenced, the Afghan emir requested Chitral’s mehtar to oust the British and align with their cause. The resounding refusal led to a sequence of Afghan incursions and retaliatory Chitrali raids into the adjacent territories of each party. Facing off were Afghan troops commanded by a regional leader, while on the opposing side stood the Chitralis, led by the presumptive successor Nasir-ul-Mulk. They were supported by a minor contingent from the British Indian army and a handful of non-Muslim Nuristanis who had been ousted from Nuristan by the Afghans and granted sanctuary in Chitral.
