@MaxDrephal: the duality of inquiries - what is left out as much as what is included. Are inquiries in some way inherently failures before they have even started? Who is listened to and who is ignored? #wftaworkshop

Thank you @warning_archive for a timely and thought-provoking #WFTAworkshop. It was a pleasure to speak about ‘“Sickness”, the making of “crisis” and the Second Anglo-Afghan war (1878-1880)’ – and share in the discussion of all papers.

@SanaaAlimia Thanks @SanaaAlimia for this list! I would also add, beyond the many great scholars already mentioned, the amazing work of @elisabeth_leake for all things frontier and soon the Soviet invasion and the book of @MaxDrephal to know more about 1919 Afghan Independence just celebrated

Few things illustrate *asymmetry* of interaction quite so starkly as the choice of some to "engage with #Afghanistan" (Deutschlands Afghanistan-Engagement zum Beispiel) and the lack of such choice by those who are engaged with.

Literally, all Afghanistan & Islamism experts I'm in touch with keep telling me that many media requests in these days are rubbish. Please don't reach me out with questions like "So now 'Sharia' is returning to Afghanistan?" or "Will the Taliban support ISIS?"

Certainly not a repetition of history, but a pertinent reminder of the international (un)making of Afghanistan

Here it is again, edited for legibility. Afghanistan 1929: the recent abdication and exile of Amanullah Khan, the capture of Kabul by Habibullah Kalakani, questions of international legitimacy, and diplomatic missions departing Kabul. #Kabul #Afghanistan #AshrafGhani #Taliban

(5/5) The British used architecture to capture and rule the imagination of their subjects, and ‘Parliament House’ did not house a democratic parliament until after #Independence. When it was constructed at the time of #Raj it housed the Imperial Legislative Council.

(4/5) Let’s be wary of glorifying Edwin #Lutyens or Herbert Baker–no matter how dark the present. Lutyens amalgamated architectural styles to entomb the myth of British empire-builders as the ‘unifiers of India’. Lutyens is not an other: he’s an autocratic inspiration.
