IMPOSING HUKUMAT ON YAGHISTAN

‘Abd al-Rahman was determined to impose the rules of government (a’in-i hukumat ) on the entire domain that he had won the right to govern. Unlike previous Afghan rulers, this amir was intent on obliging those regions of the country that had either been totally autonomous or had offered no more than a token allegiance to submit to the Afghan state centered on Kabul. ‘Abd al-Rahman referred to these areas as yaghistan .
