this song is about the period in history where conflicting British and Russian interests in central Asia pitted them against one another as political rivals, almost breaking out into war in the 19th century. It was called "The Great Game," and Mortimer Durand is the name of a British official who delineated Afghanistan's northern borders with an expanding Russia.
What an inexplicable and awesome topic to sing about.
