23 pages soft cover the Interlit Foundation Peshawar Pakistan. A review of the history of Peshawar by a Pukhtun doctor Page 23 of the book: “It is interesting to note that the Pukhtun (Afghan) Kings ruled Delhi for almost five centuries(1193-1526 CE) but the couldn’t rule their own people in the territory between Kabul and the Indus. This was due to the nature of a tribal society that didn’t permit unity under one banner. However, these Pukhtun kings encouraged many of their kind to migrate to India to help govern the local population there. After a few generations, these migrants were effectively. Cut off from their land, their culture and their language. Today, millions of Indian Muslims trace their roots to the Peshawar Valley and eastern Afghanistan.” Published in 2000 third edition. £19 |
