thread_title: File:Ahmad Shah Durrani - 1747.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: This reference, Connecting Histories in Afghanistan: Market Relations and State Formation on a Colonial Frontier by Shah Mahmoud Hanifi, p185; "Timur Shah transferred the Durrani capital from Qandahar in 1775-76. Kabul and Peshawar then shared time as the dual Durrani capital cities, the former during the summer and the latter during the winter season.", checks out. It can be viewed via amazon.com(if you have an account). This reference and the information "Peshawar(1776–1818; the secondary, winter capital)", should be restored. --Defensor Ursa 18:19, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

message: English spellings of the name "Durrani" vary. It may occur in the literature as Dooraunee, Douranee, Dourraunnee, etc. Other spellings which attempt to transliterate the Pashto name are Dorrani, Durani, Durrani. The Pashtun dynasty covered modern Afghanistan, northeastern Iran, the Kashmir region, Pakistan, and northwestern India. The Durrani Empire is considered the foundation of modern Afghanistan and Ahmad Shah known as the Father of Afghanistan who adopted the name "Dorrani" or "Durrani" meaning "pearl of the pearls". Mountstuart Elphinstone (1779-1859) was a British administrator, statesman and historian who became the Governor of Bombay. He wrote a definitive history on the Durrani Empire, "An account of the kingdom of Caubul, and its dependencies in Persia, Tartary and India : comprising a view of the Afghaun nation and a history of the Dooraunee monarchy," 1815. Appendix A of this work, "History of
Caubal from the foundation of Dooraunee monarchy," provides biographical and character information on the Durrani monarchs.Consignee (talk) 19:01, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Variant spellings of "Durrani"  

message: Neither of the sources quoted so much as mentions the size of the Durrani empire in relation to the Ottoman Empire. In fact, no mention of the Ottoman Empire appears in either. In any case, the statement that the Durrani realm was the second largest contemporary Muslim empire is contentious, given the size of Persia (also an empire) and the Omani Sultanate at that time. I have therefore removed this very dubious claim, especially in view of the short extent of time during which Ahmad Shah's realm was at its greatest extent. The question should be discussed here, and a valid source provided, before such a statement is repeated. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 06:48, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

message: It is a genral fact that the Durranis are Pashtuns. Everyone knows that the Durranis are a Pashtun tribe..Infact they are the most powerful and influental Pashtun tribe to this day.
Ahmed shah Durrani, was a pashtun, and spoke Pashto, sources also say the same thing. Yawn please dont change the status of the pashto language to poetry and replace it with persian. Infact Pashto was used as poery and the the language of the durranis
Id like your opinions before i edit it yo make it more accurate Pashtunfacts (talk) 14:40, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, this is not a forum. Also, you literally changed a cited quote to something made up by you, that is highly disruptive. You're not making anything more 'accurate' by changing/removing sourced information or/and adding your own personal opinion, no matter what simulation we're living in. I highly suggest you to stop this and read the rules. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:23, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Was the Durrani Pashtun or Persian 

message: hello I would like to speak concerned the information on the English protectorate on the Durrani empire under the reign of Shah Shuja Durrani firstly there are no sources secondly a protectorate must be under an official statues like the treaty of Gandamak which put the emirate of afghanistan under protected state or so like morocco with france the durrani empire has nothing to formalize with the british empire and thirdly Shah shuja took power with the help of the english and not under english authority the english wanted an allied government and puppet and also its the only wikipedia page to which I see this questionable information appearing AfghansPashtun (talk) 20:11, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

message: @Noorullah21; even at peak of its power the dynasty didn't controlled Gilgit-Baltistan, north of province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa including Chitral and Kohistan. Similarly, in Sindh (ruled by Kalhora Dynasty) and Khanate of Kalat, Durranis didn't have direct control. If you have sources saying anything else, mention them otherwise it will be wrong to write it as countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan instead of much of Pakistan.Sutyarashi (talk) 15:18, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
