Yes, and they moved into Gandhara (Peshawar), and they intermixed and made it a glorious empire. Pashtun are also East Iranics, lest you forget. Depending on source, Afghan or Pakhtun etc were referred to in the area of Gandhara. Sources go way back in that as far as regionality is concerned...

K buddy... if you say so. Kushans are "punjabi tribes" apparently. What sounds more realistic. This: Early historians (i.e. Herodotus i.e. father of History) mention Pactyans as being in Gandhara, and Kushans came in, made it a great city, the "crown jewel" of Bactria, made a massive Stupa...

Well, what I was getting at is the argument of recognizing pre-Islamic heritage is a sound one. Just because down the line our ancestors converted, does not mean their ancestor's work has been nullified.

Kushans are (possibly the earliest) ancestors of Pakhtuns. They made Gandhara aka Peshawar the Capital, and expanded to become a large empire encompassing all the territory of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and chunks of India. There's a strong argument that they were the very first Pakhtun empire...

OHH FIT!!! FIT YAAR!!! Azhar Bhai Jaan is invited.

Dude we've made some shitty deals with China a few times recently. Is that same of KSX to China confirmed? We sold it for pennies.

Really really need to stop being sooooo dependant on any 1 country

No, actually people just love to exaggerate and sensationlise everything in order to be clickbait. Ever heard of that site upworthy.com - "what I saw left me in tears" "I will never be the same again"... BS

Al Jazeera isn't Indian. It's Qatari.

Okay effort by her, but I don't think she handled it the way she should've. She did not need to cower that way and quasi-admit things that there is no evidence for... saying things like "we WERE like that" is NOT the right argument. Indiot cockroach was talking out of his @$$, but she was being...

Can't find this one. I have the book open. It talks briefly about Demetrius taking the land, never mentions it becoming the capital. As for the 1st one, those are the indo-scythians. That was a regional capital, not a kingdom capital. They had 3 capitals...

@Gunah-e-Kabira - have some dignity and just admit you and the OP are wrong. It's not that big a deal. OP knew it at least, he did it on purpose... but you're just making desperate attempts now. It's embarrassing. The fact that I'm not tearing you to shreds is because I feel so sorry for you...

Look who's talking. Pointing out what is either an error, a glaring oversight, or a fabrication is not butt hurt. Again, look who's talking. Why do you expect me to provide a source, but absolve yourself from the same responsibility? Please provide a source that Taxila was the capital. A...

LOL!! Taxila? WTF? The capital was initially Charssadda, and during the Kushans (i.e. only it's golden era) the capital was moved to Peshawar. For most of Gandhara's history, the capital was Peshawar. It was never Taxila. Taxila was a part of Gandhara (but also the Mauryan empire), but to claim...

OP failed to mention one time that gandhara was the name of Peshawar, and was one of the largest cities at the time... yet he mentions Taxila as a part of gandhara. It appears the attempts at stealing heritage isn't limited to indians. LOL "centered around Taxila". K buddy... rrrrright.

Surely you're not hoping to draw parallels with Pakistan and India on this? Because we're taller than you guys... Source?

What if you're too short to reach the button? Other Pakistanis are fine. What's wrong with Pakistanis? As far as brown skinned people are concerned... us Pakis are probably the top, tied with Brazilians, and maybe some Mexicans.

How tall are you guys? I'm 6'

FAISALABAD: The average height of Pakistanis has fallen four inches over the last 50 years due to malnourishment and food deficiency. This was revealed in a workshop on “Applied Nature Need Based research Projects of Food Industries” organized by National Institute of Food Science & Technology...

RIP... great vocalist. His voice is one of the few voices in the world of rock music that is extremely unique. Hybrid Theory will be a classic forever..
