Summary
Chapter 7 is on the limits of Qajar political authority and imperial rule. The chapter focuses on the case of Khurasan in the early nineteenth century, when the Afshars, under the leadership of Nadir Mirza, a scion of Nadir Shah, repeatedly rebelled against Qajar rule and refused to send taxes and tributes. It explains how the practices discussed in prior chapters were ultimately unsuccessful in extending Qajar authority in Khurasan.
