Many Pushtuns paid a high price in this conflict.

Sir Winston Churchill, who once served in Malakand, wrote in his book that in order to divide the people the British order their agent mullahs to spread rumours that a prominent tribal leader was a Wahabi. He was cut off by the community to the extent that when his young son died of illness, he had to bury him in his own home all alone.
