The Pudja Mountain and the Raneezai and Baneezai Country, from near Baboozai, 1895. From a Sketch by General Sir Michael Biddulph. 'Malakand Pass; Shakot Pass into Swat; Baboozai; Raneezai; [View of] the Swat country, through which General Sir Robert Low's military expedition has advanced, from the northern frontier of the Punjab, to Bajaur and Chitral...The various populations of Dardistan and Kafiristan, occupying remote valleys separated by high mountain ranges from British India, and bordering to the west on the Afghan dominions, to the north on that portion of the Pamir recently annexed to the Russian Empire, afford the subject of ethnological and philological inquiries...The position of Swat...had long attracted attention, in connection with the unruly behaviour of the neighbouring tribes, whose clan designations, and the names of districts, such as Yusufzai, and the like, frequently occurred in the news from India...Since amicable relations with the Amir of Afghanistan were established there has been less cause for apprehending bad consequences from the hostility of border tribes; and the recent march of victorious British forces through Swat will probably secure that part of the frontier against any future disturbance'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
