Bacha-i Saqqao, meaning son of water carrier), the first Tajik king in the modern history of Afghanistan who was given the nickname “Bacha-e-Saqaw [Son of Water Carrier]” by Pashtun rulers to cast him to an inferior social standing at the time – briefly broke the chain of Pashtun domination by ousting Amanullah Khan. He was ousted in the same year by Nadir Khan and executed by hanging in early November 1929. [1]
