Herat Affairs
- Scope & Content:
-
This part of the volume consists of copies of enclosures to a secret despatch from the Government of India Foreign Department to the Secret Committee, Number 48 of 1856, dated 8 October 1856. The enclosures are numbered 3-5 and are dated 20 to 23 September 1856.
The enclosures consist of: a translation of a letter from the Governor-General of India, Charles Canning, to the Ameer of Cabul [Amīr of Kabul], Dost Mahomed Khan [Dūst Muḥammad Khān Bārakzāy]; and a minute by Canning and letter from the Secretary to the Government of India to the Chief Commissioner in the Punjab, relating to Canning’s letter.
Canning informs Dost Mahomed Khan that a formal note has been addressed to the Sudr Azim of Persia [Ṣadr-i Aʿẓam, Prime Minister of Iran], stating that the Persian invasion of the territory of Herat, siege of the city of Herat, and ‘interference’ in the internal affairs of Herat, is an infraction of the 1853 agreement between the United Kingdom and Persia regarding Herat, and Britain will take measures against Persia unless it makes reparations and withdraws its troops from Herat. Canning also informs the Ameer that the Government of India has a force at Bombay [Mumbai] ready to proceed to the Persian Gulf if Persia refuses to comply with these demands.
