The Great Game was the game played by Lord Curzon and the Czar of Russia. Afghanistan was the playground. At frist Lord Curzon extended the British Empire to the Amy Darya (On to the Oxus). After a series of defeats, he withdrew the British Empire back to the Indus and the Duran Line formed the permanent boundary between the British Empire and the Russian Empire.

These articles discuss the ” Great Game” through the centuries.

History is taught to us in silos.  Though Pakistani history is linked to the destiny of Iran and the Central Asian republics, Pakistanis are not taught the history of Iran or of Central Asia. it is pendantic to see that separation of Azarbaijan from Iran by Tzarist Russia. The Amu Darya separates Afghanistan from the Central Asian republics. While Russia moved towards Iran and snatched Azerbaijan, Lord Curzon first tried to extend the British empire to the Oxus (Amu darya) and but was forced to withdraw back by the fierce Afghans. After the OCtober revolution, Stalin dislocated all the Chechans and Tartars and sent them to Siberia. They returned and wanted to secede from Russia.

Dumping Orientalism Out of the various strategies employed by the Modern Orientalists is to exaggerate the problem, scare the people, list unrelated points, and join the dots in a manner that it serves their purpose of creates a rationale for their thesis or action items. 

 Discarding Racism bigotry & Orientalism to the trash can of history “Orientalism” is based on hubris, bigotry, power, racism, lust for territory, and greed for resources is defined as painting an incorrect, false and negative caricature of the Orient/East/Islam and then offering “solutions” to fix the false image through crusades, colonialism, “fake sponsored democracy”, and “false sense of emancipation” that are counterproductive and have nothing to do with the reality of the Orient/East/Islam.
