There was no general federation with which we could enterinto negotiation. As a consequence, we were compelled to maintain alarge force and fortified posts along the frontier; and many punitiveexpeditions became necessary from time to time against lawless offendingtribes. Still, on the whole, and considering the difficulties of thesituation, the policy of conciliation, subsidies, and of non-interference with their internal affairs, gradually succeeded; raidsonce chronic became exceptional, and ...were dealt with rather as mattersof frontier policy than of war. [Footnote: See Parliamentary Papers:_Afghanistan, _ 1878, page 30, and _Beloochistan, _ No. 3, 1878. ] It must also be remembered, as an additional complication, that inannexing the Punjaub, although it is essentially the country of theSikhs, who are Hindoos, the inhabitants of the trans-Indus districts arefor the most part what are termed Punjaubee Mussulmen, that is, Afghans, in race, religion and language.
From what has been said as to our dealings with the border tribes, itwill be evident that while our difficulties were continuous and oftenserious, still, they were chiefly local; and that the defence of theEmpire on that frontier against foreign aggression depended in a greatmeasure on our relations with the ruler of Afghanistan itself.
