it is nice to see hundred year back city’s shape thanks to everyone involved, who recorded, edited and uploaded hundred years old city’s history.
I was born in Peshawar. I graduated from UET Peshawar. I remember more than 40 years ago when I was a student, I used to hike on trucks to go from University Town to Sadar. I remember going to Khyber Medical college next door to check out girls 😂😂. I remember student protests. I remember looking underneath the seats for any suspicious bags when getting on public transportation. Then 40 years ago I came to US and never went back . Oh how much I miss those days, those friends, that Namak Mandi that Sadar Bazar. Oh what glorious days. Oh how much I miss you.
Salam bro where aer you

I'm From peshawar those were tough times for our grandparents and their parents ❤
But atleast they had humanity and love and brotherhood even for their neighbours. And companions.
Nowadays. Our times are more turbulent than hard

May the state of KPK be blessed & liberated.
Beautiful video of my beloved peshawar. Thank you for uploading @The Baharat Archives.
at 5.25 , A. Godin and Co shown , they used to sell and repair electronics such as Gramophones , Radios and other music instruments. Their 4 th generation is now into Air-condition business .
Sell pianos as well
STILL OUR SOUL IS THERE😔
Brother, my parents are also victims of partition. They migrated from erstwhile East Pakistan, now Bangladeshin in their childhood. I feel your pains which your parents and/or grandparents must have suffered at the time of partition. I hope for reunification of India and destruction of Pakistan.
Are you from there?
In Mumbai 🇮🇳,there is a neighborhood called GTB Nagar ( formerly called Punjabi Refugee camp) Where mainly refugees hailing from NWFP were settled after partition. One can find many Hazarewaals ( people from Abbottabad, Haripur & Mansehra before partition), Pishoris ( who came from Peshawar before partition) & Chhachi biradri ( refugees who came from Hazro & Ghourghusti in Attock district) in GTB Nagar
Go there then!

A BIG THANKS FROM PESHAWAR for sharing such a historical vedio, most of historical places shown in the vidio still exist with changes in the surroundings, hope see more historical vedios from you.....
I wonder if peshawar is as beautiful and clean now 🤔 as shown in this video
Have been living there since I was born. Thanks for sharing this video
The narrow Street in 6:26 is Andar Shehar... I have studied much history of the city that is why I love it ❤
The building being shown in the video in first phase is Peshawar Services club now aka Peshawar Club
Thanks for uploading this video my ❤️ Peshawar
Behind a sad story, theres always a British

That is wrong and disrespectful to say such a thing. Look at the 3 fingers pointing back at yourself first sir

WE LOST OUR FAMILY WEALTH HEALTH EVERYTHING IN THAT PARTITION 😔 MOREOVER GOLDEN PUNJAB LOST
Hope you have rebuilt your life. God bless.
Peshawar was not a part of punjab as Lahore is not the part of Persian khwarazm and Afghan empire sikh ruled peshawar for just 20 years with the help of their illegal father mean British what happened to sikh empire after 1850

Rarest of the rare video, reveals the history for the new generation.
Huge Thanks and respect for posting this video. From Peshwar Pakistan
Yes more peaceful too during that time
Peshawar's actual name is Purushapur. It means the city of gallant men.
In Mumbai 🇮🇳,Hindko is widely spoken at GTB Nagar ( formerly called Punjabi Refugee camp) Where mainly refugees hailing from NWFP were settled after partition. One can find many Hazarewaals ( people from Abbottabad, Haripur & Mansehra before partition), Pishoris ( who came from Peshawar before partition) & Chhachi biradri ( refugees who came from Hazro & Ghourghusti in Attock district) in GTB Nagar
But our grandparents use to call it " peshor"
No, it's a Persian word for "frontier town" or "frontier city", derived from the Persian name "Pesh Awardan", meaning "place of first arrival"

Beautiful video
Hi... huge thanks from Peshawar for Posting this.
PS : those who have not lived in the city dont say random stuff about it.
100 year old Peshawar looked more like India than Pakistan with mix of Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs.
Let it b wer it is ....we can't afford " dead weight "

Very good 👍
नाईस विडियो
Those pillars at 5:09 are so similar to the ones we have in Delhi's Kashmiri Gate, and Cannaught Place.
What not we lost in partition! Specially lahore Peshawar and sindh. The beautiful part of India was lost forever.
Never was 'india'. Closer to Afghan in culture and language. We thank Allah we don't live under modi-dogs and hindutva.
Alhamduli'Allah
As a Pakistan we can sperate history than India we are descendants of Indus Valley cilivization and we cilviised whole of barbarically India India is lost part of pakistan
Peshawar is part of Afghanistan you just stole it through Sikh conquest.
@@sammyshahshah1008 Alhamduli'Allah
in 1930, who known after 17 years this city will be no more part of India...have you observed 4:03 all the shops, clinic, chemists, Automobiles were belonging to Hindus and Sikhs...
Yes many famous hindu from peshawer,like vinod khanna,raj kapoor ect
Speaking about now a days Pakistan situation,one of the senior Pakistani said...Our people throw Hindu,Sikh, Christian out of Pakistan time to time in last 75 years,who were providing Business, employment through their Businesses, and We were living happily... Islamism, Jihadi Gazva a Hind mentality destroy our nation but still now a days Pakistan is overlooking the fact and misguiding Pakistani Awam...
@@sadanandbhandari1768 there is no Ghazva thats only a hate created by the mullas, Ghazva when Prophet Mohammad PBUH participate is call ghazva
Who knew according to present day india standards this would becaccoass b or class c city or just a garrison town :-) .....that's wat happens when you misappropriate others wealth ,hard work ,ideas by hook or crook
@@shabirjan9201 ...Even I have never heard this G-a-Hind phrase from any Muslim in India... Probably due to high illiteracy rate in Pakistan, Mulla's influence worked in a wrong way there...
Pakistan seemed more prosperous during British rule. Now they're filling CNG in balloons 🤣

WoW beautiful
Very nice video ,,, i am from peshawar. ❤❤❤❤
95% Hindu was khatri an Arora lived in peshawar.They was rich and well bussinesman.
Majority of those Hindu/ Sikh Peshoris landed up in Khan market & GTB Nagar in Mumbai
So True though most of Sikhs used to live in near Kohati and Aasyia Gates as there are quite few Gurdwaras are there.
You will be surprised to hear that Vinod Khanna House, where he was born, is still in good condition and known as "khanna House" "
@@MrShahid06 i think gor khatri area?
@@MrShahid06 Thanks for the info
@@MrShahid06 thank you for sharing this 🙏
In starting peshawar also written in punjabi (gurmukhi) left side
Sadly, not a single soul in Pakistan knows about this script despite calling themselves Punjabis.
What a shame!! (That is the condition of Lahore)
@@Highbrow99 even panjabi banned in hariyana for 40 years what we expect from there
@@DeepStudio-vw9ep Sad to hear that.
O saw a video of a Pakistani vlogger and learnt that no one knew this script.
This made me sad as an Indian and depsite not being a Punjabi ਮੈਨੇ ਸੀਖਨੇ ਕਾ ਸੋਚਾ
Benefit ye hai ki Punjabi shorts ke neeche jo comments hote hain funny, vo google translate se utne mazedar ni lgte jitna aap language seekh ke khud pdhke dekhte ho 😂
Toh pdh leta hun ab, likhne me abhi b thodi mushkil hoti hai.
@@Highbrow99 i know they even now not learn panjabi most of them
@@Highbrow99 nice keep learning
g Adoor sikho jiniya language sikho oniya hi vadia h❤
very clean and green city
Even after 75 years of independence, still a slave nation 😢 a worrying matter
75 years back they were slaves
As Indian , I regret that the state of KPK was lost to Pakistan due to it falling on the other side of the drawn Line.
The rogue dictators of Pak (including Jinnah) jailed Bacha Khan who was a true leader not just to the Pashtuns but to entire India.
@@SuvaMukherjee As a Pakistani, I regret that India is still under control of Hindus extremists. It should have been taken over by some other nation.
@@SuvaMukherjee yes sir agree with you and you know so many leaders and nawab's of that time were totally against the partition of India, they told the other leaders of the freedom movement like sir Syed Ahmed Khan not to divide India but, to make such govts where they have their own majority like the Hindus in the area of their own majority and the areas of Muslims where they have their own majority but before leaving the feringees bowed a seed of contention in between two countries and that is Kashmir, which is even after passing 75 years still a bone of contention
@@shoaibwarsi3338 I am surprised you use the word "feringees" to refer to Britishers. We in Bengal use the same terminology . ... There is a famous temple in Bengal named Antony Feringee mandir built by a British devotee.
Just as I was watching this glorious video of our beautiful past, a huge suicide bomb shook my doors and windows which has claimed several Frontier corps casualties in Hayatabad_Peshawar's posh town. This is today's Peshawar.
Old is Gold stori
So peaceful like a fairy tail.
Beautiful India 🇮🇳
The video shows the pluralistic and inclusive past while the present is sectarian and exclusivity.
You are right.
Wow! Just 10 years after this video, there were partition riots in which Muslims killed one million Hindus. Are you Gangadeen?
I stayed in this officers mess . It’s now under army . I stayed there in late 90s .
Agar koee video Mianwali punjab pakistan ki ap k pass ho to kindly wo b up load ker deejaya ga bahot shukria
Mera pyara peshawar.kaaash teray log bhi pyaray reh patay😢😢😢
If I've control over time I would have reversed the time back to the late centuries when people were sincere and the whole world was very natural.😭😭😭
A beautiful city.Once a most important and flourishing city of India.
One of the main adverse effects of the British were its British created imperialism.
Even at that time the interaction between both the parties remained of rules & principles, till now those changes to the society are experienced by the people of the middle and lower class.
They were always oppressed by the rich and influential officials.
This is the sad reality and we are the new generation who can change it.
STILL TODAY WE LOVE FOREIGN BRANDS
THIS MINDSET TO BE CHANGE
So nice , i am from Peshawar
My beautiful Peshawar ❤
Looks so Royal
Old city is still the same , narrow streets and century old constructions
At the time my great grandfather was a Political agent of Peshawar. his name was Sir Sz. Ubedullah Khan of Tonk.
100 year old Peshawar looked it's so good 👍😊
We India Pakistan always concentrated on our differences rather than similarities. Abroad we are okay in gora land but can't behave as a neighbour. I wish we could. Love from Peshawar 🌹
Wo din kitne ache the
Peshawar And Lahore was major cities of India. Alberuni mentioned Lahore and Peshawar 1000 years back in his book Al Hind
Cities were good at that time. A huge population has made life miserable now.
Here after knowing about it on CZcams Channel Sahil Official he has more interesting topics in his live streaming 😊
I can make out Arbab Road (with the famous London Books), parts of Saddar, and Bila Hisar. The bazar might be Qissa Khwani and the mosque seems to be Sunehri masjid, but I may be wrong.
The mosque is Mohabbat Khan. I think Sunehri masjid was built after partition.
Beauty! Now Peshawar has turned to moster. Thanks to Pak establishment
Oh that balahisar fort and its road now there is brt route and main city road
Mashallah so beautiful site ❤
Beautiful 💯
Thank God for Pakistan. It took direct independence from the British Empire.
Seeing whats happening in neighbour country, Pakistan was a gift and wisest decision.
today"s peshawar is far better because our breathings are abundant free air
Kitna pyar mohabbat ka time ta wo porana waqt jo india Pakistan 🇵🇰 ek hi log te ekate rehte te ❤❤❤❤❤
Good
I did not find frontier college in the video. I was its student till 1988
The Building of Officer's Mess Royal Air Force looks as of PAF Officer's Mess Lahore
Very nice.....to see it......from balochistan
The long lost heritage of India
KPK AS NOT PART OF trundia
Peshawar looked beautiful at that tym now u can see only poverty and beggars with only men walking on streets. Loot and murder in the streets of Peshawar are very common....
I am from Peshawar and I can assure you that is not the case :) there is no loot and crime in the streets of peshawar. But tjere is poverty yes, and there has been alot of bombing and we all know who and why did this bombing.
Who r yo?? I m resident of this city, a peaceful, beautiful people now. People r hospitable and nice . All luxury of life are available. Health education and social structure developed. People enjoying all facilities having the maximum Medical Colleges, 21 Universities are suffies for yr knowledge.

many lahore videos are already there.
