Synopsis
Excerpt from Anecdotes of Aurangzib: Translated Into English With Notes, and Historical Essays
From Guzerat Aurangzib was recalled two years later and sent to Central Asia to recover Balkh and Badakhshan, the cradle of the royal house of Timur. Leaving Kabul on 7th April, 1647, he reached Balkh on 25th May, and battled long and arduously with the fierce enemy. The bravest Rajputs shed theii' blood in the Van of the Mughal army in that far off soil; immense quantities of stores, provisions and treasure were wasted; but the Indian army merely held the ground on which it encamped; the hordes of Central Asia, 'more numerous than ants and locusts, and all of them born horsemen, - swarmed on all sides and could not be crushed once for all. The barren and distant conquest could have been retained only at a ruinous cost. So, a truce was patched up Nazar Muhammad Khan, the ex-king of Balkh, was sought out with as much eagerness as Sir Lepel Griffin displayed in getting hold of the late Amir Abdur Rahman, and coaxed into taking back his throne, and the Indian army beat a hurried retreat to avoid the dreaded winter of that region. Many lrrorcs of rupees of Indian revenue were thus wasted for absolutely no gain; the abandoned stores alone had cost several [ale/25, and much property too had to be sacrificed by the rearguard for lack of transport.
