Between 1880 and 1891, king Abdul Rahman Khan not only increased the already exorbitant taxes but introduced new ones throughout #Hazarajat, except Uruzgan which the mirs and khans of Hazara refused according to some accounts.
The introduction triple taxing Hazaras co-incided with the fact #Mohammadzai branch of Durranis (ruling elites) in #Kabul were receiving annual allowances from the Emir as partners of the state (i. e. sharik-e dawlat).

26. "Most for the Hazara women and children were taken captive and sold as slaves. Throughout the country, #Hazaras constituted the overwhelming majority of slaves in the bazaars. In fact there were so many that they greatly decreased the prices of slaves.

2. "In this sense, the #Hazarajat as a whole was what scholars often deemed as a âsemi-independentâ region. By 1891, aside from #Uruzgan, every other region (14 districts) of the #Hazarajat paid taxes to Abdur Rahman Khan.

Beyond parody
#Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar province, 90 miles from Kabul, is the first provincial capital to fall to the #Taliban todau [15 AUG], and the 23rd overall.

Most regions throughout the #Hazarajat were headed by âmirsâ or âkhansâ and a system of feudalism operated throughout this sphere. 7/N.K.
