Between 1880 and 1891, king Abdul Rahman Khan not only increased the already exorbitant taxes but introduced new ones throughout #Hazarajat, except Uruzgan which the mirs and khans of Hazara refused according to some accounts.
The introduction triple taxing Hazaras co-incided with the fact #Mohammadzai branch of Durranis (ruling elites) in #Kabul were receiving annual allowances from the Emir as partners of the state (i. e. sharik-e dawlat).
