Rattling the Jewel in the Crown Nouri Khalil
One of the first Afghans in London - inspired by true events. However, his health prevented him from making the trip, and so instead he sent his youngest son Prince Shahzada Nasrullah Khan to represent him in the court at Windsor Palace. In 1895, the despotic Amir Abdul Rahman Khan, nicknamed 'The Iron Amir' who had united Afghanistan through a reign of terror, espionage and retribution had intended to undertake a state visit to England to pay his respects to the ageing Queen Victoria.
The Queen refused because of the expansionist ambitions of Czarist Russia. His aim was for Afghanistan to become an autonomous region, which would have allowed him to make foreign policy decisions and other matters regarding relations with countries that surrounded Afghanistan. Russia could easily have invaded the crown jewel of Great Britain, India by invading defenceless Afghanistan first.
