The Durand Line: Historical, Political and Legal Perspectives
In this session, we’ll analyze the agreement made in 1893 between Afghanistan under Amir Abdur Rahman and British Indian government, and question whether it was signed under duress or holds historical and legal merit. Join us as we navigate the complex web of claims, counterclaims and geopolitical implications surrounding the Durand Line, seeking to separate truth from political maneuvers in the light of the available primary and authentic secondary sources.
