பதில்: * Fürstenberg, Kai (2012) ''Waziristan: Solutions for a Troubled Region'' in Spotlight South Asia, No. 1, (http://www.apsa.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/SSA-1.pdf ) * Roe, Andrew M. ''Waging War in Waziristan: The British Struggle in the Land of Bin Laden, 1849–1947'' (Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2010) 313 pages * ''Operations in Waziristan 1919–1920'', Compiled by the General Staff, Army Headquarters, India, 1923 (Reprinted by Naval & Military Press and Imperial War Museum, ) * Systems of Survival (1992) by Jane Jacobs. Jacobs cites a story from the 16 July 1974 issue of The Wall Street Journal in which a Pathan husband in Waziristan reportedly cut off his wife's nose because he was jealous. Thinking the better of it, he took her to a surgeon to have the injury repaired. Upon finding out that an operation would cost thirty rupees, he called it off, saying he could buy a new wife for eighty rupees. Jacobs cites this incident as evidence contradicting the platitude that society is based on the family. Instead, each family is based on whatever society it finds itself in. (Jacobs' discussion in her book is viewable on Amazon.com. Search for "Pathan".)
