What it's about

Afghan and Pathan: A Sketch (1929) by George Batley Scott is a detailed ethnographic study of the Pashtun tribes along the North-West Frontier of India. Drawing from his extensive service in the Survey of India and firsthand experience in the Second Anglo-Afghan War, Scott provides insights into the Hazara, Yusufzai, Mohmand, Afridi, Shinwari, and Urakzai tribes. The book offers a comprehensive look at their customs, social structures, and interactions with British colonial forces. Notably, it includes a folding map and is considered a valuable resource for understanding the region's tribal dynamics during the early 20th century.
