Abstract
Amir Sher Ali … left his capital with the intention of bringing in the Russians to get rid of the British. Addressing him we say: how stupid of you. Supposing you were able to force the English out and got your country cleared from aliens, which state will help you to get the Russians out of your house … They are not stupid to leave you in control of your country.1
