"Barclay of the Guides" by Herbert Strang is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Indian Mutiny, especially focusing on events surrounding the siege of Delhi. The narrative centers on Ahmed, a young Pathan boy who navigates conflicts between rival tribes and British forces, grappling with his identity and loyalties as he is adopted by Rahmut Khan, the chief of Shagpur. The opening of the novel introduces Ahmed as he ventures through the rugged terrain above his village. With a keen sense for potential danger, he spots an approaching group of horsemen and races back to warn his village of an impending attack. Ahmed’s intelligence and quick thinking reveal his courage and resourcefulness, as he attempts to protect his home despite its vulnerable state. This sets the tone for a thrilling adventure that blends personal growth with broader historical tensions, laying the groundwork for Ahmed's complex journey as he confronts threats from both inside and outside his community.
