Second Black Mountain Expedition
# Second Black Mountain Expedition

The Second Black Mountain Expedition was a punitive expedition by the British Army against the Black Mountain tribes in the North-West Frontier Province of British India (now in what today is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan).

At the instigation of the Khan of Agror of the Swati tribe, a newly built police station was burnt by a raid of The Black Mountain (Tor Ghar) Tribes, Akazais, trans-border Swati tribesmen such as the Pariari Sayyids etc., and the Chagharzais. This was not tolerated, and a punitive expedition was led against the Pariari Sayyids, Nandihar, Deshiwals, Tikariwals, Hasanzai, Akazais and Chagharzais.
