Recent scholarship on Afghan historiography has shed light on how Afghan historians, particularly from the early twentieth century onwards, have used events such as the First Anglo-Afghan War for the purpose of national narratives. This article deepens this analysis by paying particular attention to how two prominent Afghan historians, Fayz Mohammad Kāteb and Gholām Mohammad Ghobār, rendered the Afghan rebellion that ended the British occupation in the First Anglo-Afghan War. Although Kāteb and Ghobār agreed on the religious nature of the rebellion, they had opposite interpretations regarding its leadership. This study explores how these opposite interpretations reflect a common underlying attempt to use the First Anglo-Afghan War as an historical allegory. As a court historian, Kāteb’s account is a testimony to his patron dynasty’s ability to protect Afghanistan, while Ghobār’s account reflects the author’s conviction in Afghanistan’s readiness for democracy.

最近有关阿富汗史学的学术研究揭示了阿富汗历史学家，尤其是从20世纪初开始如何将诸如第一次英阿战争之类的事件用于民族叙事。本文通过特别关注两位著名的阿富汗历史学家Fayz MohammadKāteb和GholāmMohammadGhobār如何使阿富汗叛乱结束了英国在第一次英阿战争中的占领，来加深了这一分析。尽管卡泰布和戈巴尔对叛乱的宗教性质达​​成了一致，但他们对叛乱的领导却有相反的解释。这项研究探索了这些相反的解释如何反映出将第一次英阿战争用作历史寓言的共同潜在尝试。作为法院历史学家，
