Project Gutenberg 2004-12-01 Public domain in the USA. 70 Adye, John, Sir 1819 1900 Adye, John Miller, Sir Indian Frontier Policy; an historical sketch This eBook was produced by Gail J Loveman, David Starner, Avinash Kothare and the Online Distributed Proofreading Project "Indian Frontier Policy; an historical sketch" by General Sir John Adye is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the policy and military strategies of the British Empire regarding the North-West frontier of India, particularly in relation to Afghanistan and the surrounding regions. It offers a thoughtful analysis of the interactions between British forces and local tribes, as well as the geopolitical implications of Russian expansion in Central Asia. In this book, Adye chronicles the various wars and political maneuvers surrounding British interests in Afghanistan from the early 19th century, starting with the First Afghan War and leading to the Second Afghan War and beyond. He discusses the motivations behind British involvement, such as the desire to counter Russian influence and to stabilize the frontier. Adye critically evaluates the outcomes of military campaigns, suggesting that many were based on flawed decisions and did not strengthen British control or relationships with local populations. Ultimately, the book advocates for a policy based on patience and conciliation, arguing that fostering friendly relations with the tribes along the frontier would be more beneficial than continued military interventions.
