The Frontier Town of Peshawar A Brief History

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.”

Afghanistan under Soviet Occupation

This is a panoramic view of Russia’s advent as an empire during the last four centuries cuilminatinf in its occupation of Afghanistan. The book depicts the raw fore which Russia used to bring non-Russian territories under its control; it also uncovers the identity between the purposes and methods of Czarist and the Soviet Union.

The retreat of the West, the perceptional inadequacy of its leaders, the tumult in the world caused by super powers’ rivalry, and man’s agonizing incapacitation to prevent a global conflagration have been juxtaposed to delineate the future shape of things as an inevitable consequence to Afghanistan’s occupation by Russia.
This book is not merely a record of events it is also a study of culture of power – its tendency to radiate outwards and expand. It also seeks to present an account of the determined resistance which the Afghan national is putting to block the expansion generated by the power culture.
