All those complaining about trump need to recall the very recent past. obama sent numerous drone strikes on Pakistani territory. Clinton implemented sanctions on us for testing nukes. Thus far, trump hasnt said much regarding Pakistan... but to jump on the Democrat bandwagon is childish. Did...

Problem is, Pakistan HAS been doing a very good job of tackling extremism and terrorism, despite what you see in the news. The extremists are all foreign funded, and a stopping of the funding that is used to tackle this extremism could have unkown consequences, especially in Afghanistan. They...

Approximately 215K-220K per my estimates.

Alot of them have fucked off to Canada. Here they cry about 1984 24/7, have actual khalistani terrorist group supporters, and have probably been performing sexual favors to Trudeau jr. TJ even apologized for some teeny tiny event that killed 20 sikhs that happened almost a century ago. Some boat...

ASD made a mistake in not wiping out the sikhs 100%. He only killed 1/3rd first, then half the second time. Was complacent throughout. Unfortunately the sikhs had a very short-lived empire which stretched up to NWFP area (though their hold was intermittent and even shorter lived, there were...

Well that's just it then. The point of contention appears to be regarding whether the Kushans were Tocharians or not. Frankly, it's a little irrelevant, because they were almost annihiliated entirely by the Chinese before they made their way to Bactria. The Indo Greeks and the Persians agreed to...

Well it just depends on where you want the starting point for "origins". I thought you were referring to further past their encounter with the Scythians. Keep in mind the ethnic makeup of various regions was possibly different, as the Mongols hadn't pillaged through this area yet. You're wrong...

Not entirely. Only certain aspects of their origins will count as reasonably understood. Opinions by scholars range from Tocharian, Iranian/Iranic, or Indo-European. They were pastorial and nomadic, and the general geographic region where they came from is somewhat understood. Their...

Yes, this is correct. Ahmad Shah was born in Multan, and made Peshawar the winter capital. The earliest Pakhtuns (Kushans) were an empire centered around Peshawar. Hephthalites as well. Earlier references to Pakhtuns (Pactyans) were in the area of Gandhara. But they do have significant cities in...

The answer is in your quote. Go read it again.

You need to understand... the kushans settled in kpk region, and made gandhara/peshawar something. They didn't likely outnumber the natives. They settled in peshawar and assimilated with natives, and via this and the local population and alliances etc expanded an empire. It was all in kpk though...

It's never that simple. Pactyans or Pakthas were members of the early descendents, and were there well into the past. Today's Pashtuns, just like Punjabis, Kashmiris etc are likely a combination of a number of different ancient peoples. Kushans, making Peshawar their capital, meant they were...

That threshold is too generous to India. A fair split would be based on how many sq km of the river is in each country. India has far less than 20%.

Canada is full of these cockroach condom-heads. They are scum, and hate Muslims and Pakistanis. Many of them stay quite about it. The irony is, the ones with the beard and turban are usually fine... but the clean shaven ones with no beard need a hard clenched fist on their nose. They try to...

He just gave his opinion, and made sure to say it's his opinion because he knows it's not a fact. I don't know what you're talking about with the Koh i Sulaiman stuff... that's all legendary and the dates of when it happened is a work of fiction (and certainly before the AD which is when the...

Piece of advice: you actually have to be more intelligent than the person you're trying to school in order to be taken seriously.

And that's you? Why are you so certain about what I do or don't understand. Exactly. The worst part is, ownership is now foreign. Pakistani capital markets are a joke. Well good that you're optimistic. China will probably just see it as a low cost purchase for an important thing. The concern...

I miss that video of the indiot soldier on LoC who was making his last speech because he got shot by a Pakistani jawaan. However... we should definitely be less dependent. It would be one thing if we sold individual companies, but we're selling strategic assets and that is a serious concern...

Stop running your mouth because of a mere mention of your master. This is economic colonization. Pakistan is 3rd world, genius. Obviously it's stock market will not be as valuable as NYSE or LSE. Does that mean we just give up and sell it at this stage? What else are we going to sell to China...

Gandhara's centers were first Charssadda, then Peshawar, then a place called Hund (not in Punjab). There was also Taxila, but Taxila also at one point was under Mauryans. Any literature you read of the region that refers to Gandhara is almost exclusively using it as a synonym for Peshawar...
