MUGHAL BRIDGE LANDMARK PESHAWAR PAKHTUNKHWA 1600 AD

 

The Mughal Bridge is 100 yards long and six yards wide with beautiful, domed pillars

The Mughal tands above Bara River and near the Chuha Gujar village. Chuha Gujar Villege is situated where the southern Part of Ring road is exiting to GT road and motorway as Junction .

Just before this Junction is another Intersection or chowk when Pandu Road road crosses the southern Ring road of Peshawar, when you take a Right turn on Pandu road , you will have Chuha Gujar villege on your left .


A Mughal-era construction probably built during Shah Jehan’s rule in 1629, the bridge is 100 yards long and six yards wide with six-foot tall pillars on each side. The pillars are topped with beautiful domes which add to the grandeur of the bridge. Two of the domes, however, have fallen off. As is typical of Mughal architecture, there are 12 arched tunnels or water ways running under the bridge.

The bridge is in considerably good condition, despite the fact that it has been there for more than three centuries and has not been preserved as a historical site. It is among the few Mughal monuments in the city of Peshawar. In his book, Peshawar: Past and Present, SM Jafar shows the original plaque with Emperor Shah Jehan’s name and details of the bridge on it, such as the date of construction.

 


One of the pillars used to have a plaque with details about the historic bridge, but it has been removed. Researcher Humayun Akhund said residents claimed the plaque was taken away by officials from the archeology department. He added that they had searched the department and found nothing. “If we had the plaque, we would be able to learn about the bridge’s history,” he said. “But since we do not have any historical documents or manuscripts, we don’t know much. The structure and design show that this was built in the Mughal period.”

According to researcher Muhammad Nawaz Khan, who has written about the history of Peshawar, many people believe the bridge was built by Karim Bakhsh Sethi, a philanthropist from Peshawar. There is, however, no proof. Khan added there was another bridge on the road between Chamkani village and GT Road which was constructed by Sethi. He claimed there used to be a mosque near the bridge but it doesn’t exist anymore.

Sardar Muhammad Ayub Khan is revered as a freedom fighter and national hero in Afghanistan. 

19th century poets have composed ballads about the 'Ghazi of Maiwand' and glorified him for giving the foreign invaders a bloody nose. There is a monument of the battle of Maiwand in Afghanistan. 

The tower, known as Minar-e-Maiwand was erected by King Zahir Shah Durrani in 1959 in the town square.

Malalaa Of Maiwand 

A Pashto inscription, taken from a poem, relates a legend how at one stage the Afghans were Preparing for retreat when a young woman named Malalai, stepped forward and pleaded to them: "If you do not taste of martyrdom today on this field of Maiwand, by God I am afraid you'll lead an ignominious life forever." It is recounted, upon hearing this the men turned back to win the battle.

A colossal cast-iron lion statue in the memory of the men of 66th Regiment of Foot who died at Maiwand stands in Forbury Gardens, Reading in Berkshire England UK. 

Maiwand Lion at Forbury Gardens commemorating the fallen Soldiers 

The Maiwand Lion is a sculpture and war memorial in the Forbury Gardens, a public park in the town of Reading, in the English county of Berkshire. The statue was named after the Battle of Maiwand and was erected in 1886 to commemorate the deaths of 329 men from the 66th (Berkshire) Regiment of Foot during the campaign in Afghanistan between 1878 and 1880. It is sometimes known locally as the Forbury Lion.

The Maiwand Lion features on the front page of one of the local newspapers, the Reading Post, and also on the Reading Football Club crest.

The regiment lost approximately 329 to 500 (reports of the number vary) at the battle of Maiwand, having faced an Afghan army by the British contingent. Eleven of the men were Officers, protecting the colours. 

 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based his character Doctor Watson on the regiment's Medical officer, Surgeon Major Doctor A F Preston who was injured in battle.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional character Watson is actually based on a surgeon of the 66th Regiment. In 'A Study in Scarlet' (1881), Watson describes how he got shot whilst attending to a fallen soldier at Maiwand. "How are you? You have been to Afghanistan, I perceive" are the opening words spoken by Sherlock Holmes to Dr. Watson. "How on earth did you know that?", Watson asks in admiration. It is the first of many displays of Holmes's brilliant deductive abilities.

The few remaining survivors that managed to reach the safety of the British garrison at Kandahar, got a medal from Queen Victoria of England on return to their country. One of the medal recipients was a dog named Bobbie.

King Ameer Sher Ali and Sons including Ayub Khan  

The unprecedented British defeat caused a sensation in Europe and provided much literary food for English writers such as Rudyard Kipling who composed a poem entitled 'That Day'. Rudyard Kipling also Invented the Term " The Great Game " which meant the The chasing the Wealth of Center of Earth Afghanistan according to Mc Kinder Theory and found at Silk Route and all the rulers of Indian Sub continent came from Afghanistan for last thousands of Years.

After Prince Ayub Khan's victory under the direction of Field Marshall Frederick Roberts was Sent By East India company to Punish Afghan  after a few months it also left Afghanistan after burning Many Bazaars in Kandahar and Kabul and Punishing Afghans with Brutality that showed lack of humanity and reminded People of Third Rate Barbarism . 

And when the British army drew back into India leaving the Afghans to govern themselves, Ayub's cousin and staunch enemy King Amir Abdur Rahman Khan proclaimed himself Ameer routing Ayub's supporters. 

Ayub Khan was forced to flee to Herat and later sought refuge in Persia where he spent many years in exile. The new King Ameer Abdur Rahman continued to hatch conspiracies against him and made his life difficult even there.

On his part, Ayub Khan tried vainly to topple him and attempted a coup against his cousin but with no luck. As time wore on and the political landscape gradually changed Ayub Khan finally turned himself over to the British emissary in Mashad, Persia. 

He was sent to India as a state prisoner and kept in confinement for sometime. He spent the last years of his life with his family in Lahore, living off a pension fixed by the Government of India. He died on April 7, 1914 and was buried in Peshawar.

Today, the Victor of Maiwand rests alone in his glory in a small marble mausoleum in the Durrani Graveyard near Wazir Bagh, Peshawar , just outside the old walled city of Peshawar.

 His tomb made of pure white marble is a fine example of hand craftsmanship. It has a round canopy and bears beautiful floral carvings, geometric patterns and Islamic calligraphy. The mausoleum's in Peshawar construction was commissioned by the government of Afghanistan during the reign of King Habibullah Khan in 1914. 

The Great Game and Anglo Afghan Wars 

The term 'Great Game' was popularized during the British Empire's conflict with Tsarist Russian Empire in the 19th century. Afghanistan and its monarchs became pawns in this imperial game of rivalry and strategic influence and its outcome was to have a direct bearing on the British Empire's hold over India.

Great Game was Rivalry Between British and Russia over the Riches and Resources of Afghanistan and  Central Asia beyond Afghanistan till Bukhara and Samarkand .

Many Wars were fought to Conquer Afghanistan and expand British Sphere of Influence they are

1. First Anglo Afghan War 1839-1842.
2. Second Anglo Afghan War 1878-1880.
3. Third Anglo Afghan War  1913-1914.

The British had not forgotten the terrible first Afghan War disaster when an entire army of 15,000 was wiped out in 1842 during Retreat from Kabul ending the four years of their initial presence there in Snow and harsh Weather and Pashtun tribes shooting them from Mountains above .

Retribution and vengeance were key considerations that paved the way for another military campaign. Incited by the murder of the British agent Major Louis Cavagnari at the Kabul Residency and to counter the increasing tilt towards Russia by the Afghans, the British army once again advanced into Afghanistan in 1878 commencing the second Afghan War at Maiwand . 

Maiwand is a small village town in Afghanistan, about 45 miles from Kandahar that gained fame during the second Anglo-Afghan War in 1880. It was at this battlefield that the British army suffered its most embarrassing defeat at the hands of Prince Sardar Muhammad Ayub Khan, whose mausoleum is in Peshawar.

Soon after their arrival, the British deposed Ayub's brother Yakub Khan and then a long campaign ensued. The battle at Maiwand was fought on July 27, 1880 when Ayub Khan successfully led 6000 men and intercepted the British army at this place in order to thwart their invasion of Afghanistan. 

The terrible heat of the Afghan summer that year and other logistic difficulties greatly disadvantaged the 66th (Berkshire) Regiment led by General Burrows in its advance and was annihilated by the Afghans who tore through all its lines. The victory is often cited as being perhaps the only instance where an Asiatic leader won a pitched battle fought against a vastly superior European army.

1880 Victory day at Maiwand under Prince Ayub Khan

Prince Ayub Khan confronted the British force commanded by General Burrows at Maiwand, on 27th July 1880, near the close of the Both Second Afghan and First Afghan war are Example of wins one of the very few pitched battles that have been won by any Asiatic leaders over an army under European direction.

Karakorum Range of Mountains :

Karakoram is a Turkic term meaning black gravel. The name was first applied by local traders to the Karakoram Pass.

Karakorum is also a Sub Range of Hindu Kush Mountain that is found in Pakistan in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Northern Area of Gilgit and Baltistan. The Karakoram is in one of the world's most geologically active areas, at the boundary between two colliding continents of Europe and Asia and Found on Boundary of Pakistan Durand line with Afghanistan and in North from these Mountain Ranges this Boundary starts and finished near Arabia Sea.







K2 in Karakorum

A significant part, 28-50% of the Karakoram Range is glaciated, compared to the Himalaya (8-12%) and Alps (2.2%).Mountain glaciers may serve as an indicator of climate change, advancing and receding with long-term changes in temperature and precipitation.[9] Karakoram glaciers are mostly stagnating or enlarging, because, unlike in the Himalayas, many Karakoram glaciers are covered in a layer of rubble which insulates the ice from the warmth of the sun. Where there is no such insulation, the rate of retreat is high.

The Karakoram, in simplified Chinese: 喀喇昆仑山脉; traditional Chinese: 喀喇崑崙山脈; pinyin: Kālǎkūnlún Shānmài; , Kārākōram; Balti: ཁརན ཨ ཀུརམ Kharan-a-Kuram Uyghur: كاراكورم‎), is a large mountain range spanning the borders between Pakistan, India and China, located in the regions of Gilgit–Baltistan (Pakistan), Ladakh (India), and Xinjiang region (China).

As subrange of the Hindu Kush Himalayan Range, it is one of the Greater Ranges of Asia. The Karakoram is home to the highest concentration of peaks over 8000m in height to be found anywhere on earth, including K2, the second highest peak in the world 8,611 m (28,251 ft).






Nanga Parbat

The range is about 500 km (311 mi) in length, and is the most heavily glaciated part of the world outside the polar regions. The Siachen Glacier at 76 kilometres (47 mi) and the Biafo Glacier at 63 kilometres (39 mi) rank as the world's second and third longest glaciers outside the polar regions.

The Karakoram is bounded on the northeast by the edge of the Tibetan Plateau, and on the north by the Pamir Mountains. The southern boundary of the Karakoram is formed, west to east, by the Gilgit, Indus, and Shyok Rivers, which separate the range from the northwestern end of the Himalaya range proper as these rivers converge southwestward towards the plains of Pakistan.







Broad Peak

The Tashkurghan National Nature Reserve and the Pamir Wetlands National Nature Reserve in the Karalorun and Pamir mountains have been nominated for inclusion in UNESCO in 2010 by the National Commission of the People's Republic of China for UNESCO and has tentatively been added to the list.

The naming and division of the various subranges of the Karakoram is not universally agreed upon. However, the following is a list of the most important subranges, following Jerzy Wala. The ranges are listed roughly west to east.

As Islam Spread from Afghanistan to India after Afghanis crossed these Mountains to Bring Islam to India they are called as a Result Hindu Kush or Eliminator of Hindus in Hindi language although it also contains Solomon Range and his Takht ( Kings Seat ) Attributed to Hazrat Solomon PBUH the Prophet of Jews of King Solomon and Queen Sheba fame.






The Hindu Kush , also known as Pāriyātra Parvata , Caucasus Indicus, or Paropamisadae , is an 800 km (500 mi) long mountain range that stretches between central Afghanistan and northern Pakistan. It is a subrange of the Himalayan range.

Hindu Kush Mountains 

The Hindu Kush system stretches about 966 kilometres (600 mi) laterally West to East , but its median north-south measurement is about 240 kilometres (150 mi).

Ranges of Hindu Kush 

Only about 600 kilometers (370 mi) out of the 966 kilometers (600 mi) Total Hindu Kush system is called the Proper Hindu Kush mountains. The rest of the 366 KM of Hindu Kush System consists of numerous smaller mountain ranges including :

1. Karkorum Range ( Pakistan).
2. Soloman Range ( Pakistan).
3. Pamir Range( Pamir Range)
4. Koh-e Baba Range 
5. Salang.Range 
6. Koh-e Paghman.Range 
7. Siah Koh Range  (also called the eastern Tor Ghar )
8. Koh-e Khwaja Mohammad Range 
9. Selseleh-e Band-e Turkestan.Range 
10. Safēd Kōh – eastern / The Spin Ghar Range 
11. Safid Koh -western  Range / Paropamise by western scholars, though that name has been slowly falling out of use over the last few decades its Parts are (Malmand, Chalap Dalan, Siah Band and Doshakh)

The mountains of the Hindu Kush system diminish in height as they stretch westward towards Kabul Toward the middle, near Kabul, they extend from 4,500 to 6,000 meters (14,800 to 19,700 ft); in the west, they attain heights of 3,500 to 4,000 meters (11,500 to 13,100 ft).The average altitude of the Hindu Kush is 4,500 meters (14,800 feet).

Rivers that flow from the mountain system include:

Helmand River,
Hari River
Kabul River( Peshawar)
Watershed from the Sistan Basin.

Numerous high passes ("kotal") transect the mountains, forming a strategically important network for the transit of caravans.

Hindu Kush mountain passes are:

1. Khyber Pass ( Landi Kotal) Pakistan (1,027 m).


2. Salang Pass (Kotal-e Salang) Afghanistan (3,878 m); it links Kabul and points south of it to northern Afghanistan. The completion of a tunnel within this pass in 1964 reduced travel time between Kabul and the north to a few hours. The Salang tunnel at 3,363 m and the extensive network of galleries on the approach roads were constructed with Soviet financial and technological assistance and involved drilling 1.7 miles through the heart of the Hindu Kush.

3. Tang-e Gharu Pass Afghanistan , superseded in 1960 by a road constructed within the Kabul River's most spectacular gorge, the This remarkable engineering feat reduced travel time between Kabul and the Pakistan border from two days to a few hours.


4- Kotal-e Shibar Afghanistan Previously access to the north through this Kotal/Pass (3,260 m) took three days.


5- Kotal-e Lataband Afghanistan (2,499 m) east of Kabul.

6- Shotorgardan (3,720 m), linking Logar and Paktiya provinces.

7- Bazarak (2,713 m), leading into Mazari Sharif.


8- Khawak Pass (4,370 m) in the Panjsher Valley.

9- Anjuman Pass (3,858 m) Panjsher Valley giving entrance to the north.

10- The Hajigak (2,713 m)

11- Unai (3,350 m) lead into the eastern Hazarajat and Bamyan Valley.

7000 Meter Plus Mountains of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa:

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 31 Mountains exists above 7,000 Meters or 7KM vertically , 

Important for Mountaineering and are situated vertically from Sea level with Lowest one about 7,020 Meters and the Highest one called Trichmir Main vertically About 7,708 Meters in Highest Situated in World top 10 Highest Mountains of world and also Visible from Commercial Aircraft as Far as Islamabad and while Landing .






Trich Mir in Chitral

it is a sub range of the Hindu Kush Himalayan range. It divides the valley of the Amu Darya (the ancient Oxus) in Afghanistan to the north from the Indus River valley to the south. The highest point in the Hindu Kush is Tirich Mir (7,708 m or 25,289 ft) in Chitral District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

To the east the Hindu Kush buttresses the Pamir range Situated inside of Pakistan near the point where the borders of China, Pakistan and Afghanistan meet, after which it runs southwest through Pakistan and into Afghanistan, finally merging into minor ranges in western Afghanistan. The mountain range separates Central Asia from South Asia .

Giglit Baltistan and Chitral Part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Forms this Pamir Range although some of it is In Afghanistan and Tajikistan.




The Eastern Hindu Kush range, also known as Pamirs is also Known as “ Roof Top of the World “ , mostly located in northern Pakistan and the Nuristan and Badakhshan provinces of Afghanistan . 

In Pakistan’s Chitral District of Khyber Paktunkhwa is home to Tirich Mir, Noshaq, and Istoro Nal, the highest peaks in the Hindu Kush. The range also extends into Ghizar, Yasin Valley, and Ishkoman in Pakistan's Northern Areas.





The highest point in the Hindu Kush is Tirich Mir (7,708 m or 25,289 ft) in Chitral District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

To the east the Hindu Kush buttresses the Pamir range near the point where the borders of China, Pakistan and Afghanistan meet, after which it runs southwest through Pakistan and into Afghanistan, finally merging into minor ranges in western Afghanistan. The mountain range separates Central Asia from South Asia.






Trich Mir in Pamir


Chitral is considered to be the pinnacle of the Hindu Kush region. The highest peaks, as well as countless passes and massive glaciers, are located in this region. The Chiantar, Kurambar, and Terich glaciers are amongst the most extensive in the Hindu Kush and the melt water from these glaciers form the Kunar River, which eventually flows south into Afghanistan and joins the Bashgal, Panjsher, and eventually the much smaller Kabul River.


Mountain Passes which join Afghanistan to Chitral, Pakistan, include the Baroghil (3,798 m) and the Kachin (5,639 m), which also cross from the Wakhan corridor a small Few KM Area with 4 time zones of 4 countries ie Pakistan , Afghanistan , China and Tajikistan .


There are a number of other important passes in Afghanistan China and Pakistan in Pamirs , it The Wakhjir Pass (4,923 m), proceeds from the Wakhan Corridor into Xinjiang, China, and into Northern Areas of Pakistan.


Passes which join Afghanistan to Chitral, Pakistan, include the Baroghil (3,798 m) and the Kachin (5,639 m), which also cross from the Wakhan.


Pamir Valley or the Chitral Valleys is Most beautiful and also best place to Visit in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and is journey of Life Time to See the breathtaking beauty and Nature at its best among the Pamir Ranger of mountains of Hindu Kush in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.


The Kilash Tribe and Chitralis and Gilgit,s Live here who are here who celebrate their Festivals and also are Pagan Tribe who have their own customs and are slowly Losing their culture and being Assimilating in Islamic culture .


Pamirs forms the Starting Point of Durand Line in North , that Divides the Afghanistan Tajikistan and Pakistan and it is also called the “ Roof Top of the world “, 

Lord Curzon the Head of East india Company Personally came and visited this Places and he was one who Invented Durand line , border between Afghanistan and India later Adopted as Pakistan Border with Afghanistan .


Pamir valley Is situated here in Gilgit and Chitral Pakhtunkhwa and starts from Wahkhan corridor that belongs to 4 countries Afghanistan , Pakistan , Tajikistan and China.

The Wakhan Corridor (alternatively Vakhan Corridor, or Wakhan) is the narrow strip of territory in northeastern Afghanistan that extends to China and separates Tajikistan from Pakistan. The corridor, wedged between the Pamirs to the north and the Hindu Kush to the south, is about 350 km (220 mi) long and 13–65 kilometres (8.1–40.4 mi) wide.


Inside the Wakhan Corridor is a high mountain valley from which the Panj and Pamir Rivers emerge and form the Amu Darya. 

A trade route through the valley has been used by travelers going to and from East, South and Central Asia since antiquity. Wakhan Corridor can also refer to the valley and the trade route. 

The closure of the Afghan-Chinese border crossing at the Wakhjir Pass at the east end of the Wakhan Corridor, however, has turned the valley into a cul de sac inhabited by nomads.

The corridor was a political creation of the Great Game. On the corridor's north side, agreements between Britain and Imperial Russia in 1873 and between Britain and Afghanistan in 1893 effectively split the historic region of Wakhan by making the Panj and Pamir Rivers the border between Afghanistan and the Russian Empire. On its south side, the Durand Line agreement of 1893 marked the boundary between British India and Afghanistan. 

This left a narrow strip of land as a buffer between the two empires, which became known as the Wakhan Corridor in the 20th century. As of 2010, the Wakhan Corridor had 12,000 inhabitants.

 The northern part of the Wakhan is also referred to as the Afghan Pamir which is in Afghanistan .

The Wakhan Corridor forms the panhandle of Afghanistan's Badakhshan Province. At its western entrance near the Afghan town of Ishkashim, the corridor is 18 km (11 mi) wide.[1] The western third of the corridor varies from 13–30 km (8.1–18.6 mi) in width and widens to 65 km (40 mi) in the central Wakhan. At its eastern end, the corridor forks into two prongs that wrap around a salient of Chinese territory, forming the two countries' 92 km (57 mi) boundary. 

The Wakhjir Pass, on the southeastern prong is about 300 km (190 mi) from Ishkashim.

The easternmost point of the northeastern prong is about 350 km (220 mi) from Ishkashim. On the Chinese side of the border is Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The northern border is formed by the Pamir River and Lake Zorkul in the west and the high peaks of the Pamir Mountains in the east. To the north is Tajikistan's Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous region.

In the south, the corridor is bounded by the high mountains of the Hindu Kush and Karakoram. The Broghol and Irshad Passes along the southern flank offer access, respectively, to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit Baltistan on Pakistan's side of the border. The Dilisang Pass is disused.

The corridor is higher in the east (the Wakjir Pass is 4,923 m (16,152 ft) in elevation) and descends to about 3,037 m (9,964 ft) at Ishkashim.

The Wakhjir River emerges from an ice cave on the Afghan side of the Wakhjir Pass and flows west, joining the Bozai Darya near the village of Bozai Gumbaz and forms the Wakhan River. The Wakhan River then joins the Pamir River near Kala-i-Panj to form the Panj River, which then flows out of the Wakhan Corridor at Ishkashim.

Chinese descriptions of the Wakhan Corridor include the Taghdumbash Pamir, a high mountain valley east of the Wakhjir Pass that is about 100 km (62 mi) long.[7][8] This valley, through which the Tashkurgan River flows, is generally about 3–5 km (1.9–3.1 mi) wide and less than 1 km (0.62 mi) at its narrowest point.
