MALAKAND PASS

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 461 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
MALAKAND PASS , a
mountain
  pass in the North-West Province of
India
 , connecting the British
district
  of
Peshawar
  with the
Swat
  Valley. It is now a military
post
  and the head-quarters of a political agency. It came into prominence for the first time in 1895 during the
Chitral
  campaign, when 7000 Pathans held it against Sir Robert Low's advance, but were easily routed. After the campaign was over a fortified
camp
  was formed on the Malakand to guard the road to
Chitral
 . During the frontier risings of 1897 the Swatis made a determined attack on the Malakand, where 700 were killed, and on the adjacent
post
  of Chakdara, where 2000 were killed. This was the origin of the Malakand Expedition of the same year. (See
SWAT
 .)
