A short account of tours which have been made in India in recent
years by members of the Naqib's family may be given here to illustrate
the extent and degree of their influence in that country.

having come, it was stated, for an eye operation ; at the end of August
he visited Peshawa", where the Zakha Khel Afridi Maliks Kbawas
Khan and Wali Muhammad Khan were said to have had an interview
with him ;* in February 1900 he returned to Rawalpindi, and in April he
passed through Lahore on his way to Haidarabad in the Dakkhan,
where he remained for some time. He seems to have complained or
the proceedings in India of swindlers who passed themselves on as
belonging to his family.
In December 1895 Saiyid Muhammad, a nephew of the Naqib
and only son of Saiyid Zain-al-"'Abidin, left Baghdad on a journey to
India ; but he did not apparently arrive in Bombay until the beginning
of May 1896. He was followed by his uncle Saiyid ^Abdus Salain, e
youngest brother of the Naqib, whose departure from Baghdad oo'
place in July 1896. It was believed at first that Saiyid Muhamma
was the bearer of a message from the Sultan of Turkey to the
of Afghanistan, relating to the attitude of the European poweis i
respect of the Armenian atrocities; but subsequent events tende
discredit this theory. It was also stated that Saiyid M uhamma
quarrelled with his uncle the Naqib, had been deprived of his F?P el ^
and had therefore found it advisable to leave Baghdad ; but this
never verified. The Government of India, after due oons^era i ;
