Question 1178: Wat's in a name?


'X' was a British diplomat and civil servant of colonial British India. Among his numerable works is the negotiations with Abdur Rehman Khan, the Amir of Afghanistan in 1893 on boundary issues. The territorial exchanges were amicably agreed upon; the relations between the British Indian and Afghan governments, as previously arranged, were confirmed; and an understanding was reached upon the important and difficult subject of the borderline of Afghanistan on the east, towards India, leading to the formation of 'Y'. 'X' is also credited for the institution of 'Z', a recreational tournament for british troops in india, in 1888. This induced a tradition which continues to be followed today. Deservedly both 'Y' and 'Z' are named after 'X'.

X? Y? Z?


Answer: X: Sir Henry Mortimer Durand Y: The Durand Line Z: The Durand Cup.
