What is the most historically epic city on the Indian Subcontinent?
As an Alexander the Great fan, do en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria_Bucephalous or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria_in_Orietai count? Some of the pictures at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varanasi are also fairly intriguing.

Peshawar the land of hindkowaans❤
land of pashtuns
LOOL DID U not listen to him? Peshawar was found in the persian empire same one which pashtuns were on nice try tho
@@af-pqueen4287 peshawar was originally named pushpura and was apart of the ghandarran lands this predates any hotak durrani or ghaznavids arrival. The hidkowan tribes such as the awans tanolis karlals etc are of ghandrran descent pashtuns were not native to peshawar they first arrived in the ghaznavid invasion mahmud of ghazni in his memoirs mentions the hindkowan ppl living in peshawar

honestly thank you so much for this video and for participating in project homecoming tbh i knew almost nothing about Pakistan but I am gonna go check out your other videos now!
Thanks man, check out the Indian Partition video for the creation of Pakistan and the Badshahi Mosque one as well!
Watching this video I realize how little I know about Pakistani history. Interesting video!
Thanks man, I'm glad I found out about your channel through this collab! Enjoyed your 30 for 30 challenge, immense to say the least!
Im sorry to say this but what pakistan ? A part of Pakistan is Iranian like Peshawar ( Pashtuns ) and Makran ( Baluchis ) the other parts like Sindh , Punjab , Kashmir and .... are Just former Hindustan , but since muslim population of India migrated there they seperated their selves from Hindustan ( land of Hindus ) and called it as Pakistan ( land of cleannees since there is no Hindu overthere ). So basically Punjabis , Sindhis and Kashmiris are Just Indians who seprated from Hindus or sikh punjabis , sindhis or kashmiris while taking Iranian Baluchi and Pashtun lands which British empire added to British India Raj. And trust me it created lots of problem for local people , im from south east of Iran with Turkish origin but Persians Baluchis and Pashuns all livr together in there. And according my Baluchi friends many of their tribes are located in country of Pakistan which didnt exist before and Iran lost its border to British Empire during treaty of Goldsmith 1880s i guess.
@@sinaaafshar4154 If you use "Balochi" i doubt you know any baloch.
@@sinaaafshar4154
1)Indian is not a race buddy.
2)and Kashmiris are not really Indo Aryan like the majority of Iranians, Pakistanis and Indians. majority of them are Dradic and Sino Tibetan (I'm a Gilgit Baltistani who has both Dradic and Sino Tibetan ancestry)
@MIDKNIGHT FENERIR never said that Dards are related to Persians and that also includes Indo Aryans
You from Peshawar? Lol I'm from delhi, we're practically neighbours
Quite far but yh I guess so!
I'm from Lakhi IN Sindh
How are Delhi and Peshawar neighbours?

Some corrections:
1. Gandhara was the name of the region covering the Peshawar and Swat river Valleys, not the name of the city itself. Purushapura served as the capital of many kingdoms that ruled Gandhara, including the Vedic Kingdom of Gandhara, the Kushan Empire(until the conquest of Mathura), and the Indo-Parthian Kingdom.
2. The White Huns/Hephthalites gave patronage to Buddhism, it is not clear what religion the ruling class followed (could be Zoroastrianism, Buddhism or even Manichaeism among some) but there is no evidence of Buddhist persecution during their reign.
I'm pashtun living in UK,thank you for the great video and yes chapli kebab are the best I have had them in mardan kpk..
@HikmaHistory Love your videos. (Especially this one as it’s my favorite one).
Also what does Hikma mean?
Hi there! Found this channel through the Project Homecoming playlist. Love what i've seen so far. I currently study history in Germany, but so far it sadly is quite eurocentric, so this channel will be a great way for my to widen my horizon, and learn more about non european history. You have my subscription!
Kind regards from Germany.
Thanks dude, definitely check out Al Muqaddimah as well for history of the Islamic world!
Much appreciated content bro
Glad you like it!
A lot of Pashtun/Afghan Nationalists try to claim Peshawar because it was apart of Afghanistan for less than 80 years over 300 years ago. If that wasnt enough they believe because Pashtuns live there they should join Afghanistan yet these ignoramuses don’t know the native ethnic group of Peshawar are Hindkowans/Punjabi’s and Peshawar was still apart of Punjab until 1901. Even other areas in “KPK” such as Hazara district have predominantly Punjabi populations not Pashtun ones. Only the tribal areas (Waziristan ect) were actually apart of the Durrand line treaty. Afghan president Daud Khan (who was a Pashtun nationalist) even recognised the Durrand line in the 1970s.
Therefore Afghanistan has no claim or right to “KPK” .
@@syedhaider2084 Hindkowans are Punjabis,Hindko is a Punjabi dialect. The areas stretching from Dera Ismail khan to Hazara were all apart of the Punjab province until 1901.
Even tribes amongst Hindowans are Punjabis (Gujjars,Arain,Awans,Jatts etc). Hindkowans are indeed Punjabis.
@UCRgDpiuePPpUSa3WLXv3xwA DNA studies shows Hindowans are genetically similar if not identical to other punjabis (like Pothowaris and Gujjars). Most Punjabi speakers can indeed understand Hindko,the differences between Hindko and other punjabi dialects is a difference of dialect not language. And you may have Levantine ancestry but that doesn’t mean every other Hindkowan does.
@Gandhara MUSLIM☪️ Hindko and Pothowari are Punjabi dialects and Pothowaris and Hindkowans are Punjabi’s. Islam doesn’t eradicate tribe or ethnicity,even the Sahabba were aware of their tribes and ethnicities
@Gandhara MUSLIM☪️ Keep crying, you literally belong to Punjabi tribes like Arains and Kamboh yet claim you aren’t Punjabi. Look at the history of KPK province.
Many Peshoris, Hazarewaals & Chhachis in Mumbai also
I am from India . My grandfather was from Khanpur .usman Khattar.later shifted to Peshawar for govt jobs. Want to know more about them. If Pakistan govt help us. If at all any records? My dad studied in Islamia College. Started his job from Kukool
Just discovered your channel from the other Project Homecoming videos. I have to say I’m impressed, and that you have just earned another subscriber!
Glad to hear it Jon!
Wow, it's awesome knowing you actually also lived in Pakistan and have a connection to it.
It would be awesome if you could detail the relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan, going into why things are the way they are.
Thank you!
Beautiful analysis
Manana Shahid!
I gotta ask with full respect, I'm a Syrian and I understand this problem with separation of ethnicities, but didn't this always happen with any empire throughout history? Didn't the Persians and Ottomans control divided lands based on military conquests that lead to separation of groups? I'm pretty sure lines between pre-colonial empires weren't drawn on ethnic, religious or tribal basis either
Now you may argue "but colonialists drew these lines in agreement with each other not through war" well yeag they weren't brothers and sisters, they were rivals united by a common enemy and each of them tried limiting what other got in these agreements
Firstly, can you email me please - hikmahistory@gmail.com
Secondly, I get what you're saying but I'd add a couple of things:
1 - Back then, central authority was not necessarily as invasive as it is now. This is vital because if I'm Pashtun and I want to live a Pashtun way of life, then I don't really mind that much who is in charge (an Iranian, Turkic or Indian Dynasty) as long as they let me live how I want. I would argue that prior to the modern-age, governments were more lax in that regard.
2 - Modernity has had a strange effect on notions of Identity with the surge in Nationalism and Wilsonian Self-Determination has made it so that more and more ethnicities want their own sovereign nations.
Does this make sense?
Nice city❤.
Hope it become the best in the world.
5:31 Sikhs never crossed Sutlej river and annexed Delhi fake map
At 5:34, you claim that the majority of the Peshawar city's population were Pakhtoons before Ranjeet Singh's era started. But when one refers to the historic architecture of the walled city (and the area names) or to the native Peshawar community, there seems more Persian heritage (possibly from the Nadir's Shah Era). Mostly native people from Peshawar claim their ancestry to the mass migrations from central Asia, present-day North Afghanistan (Non Pakhtoons), and Kashmir, rather than to the Afghan/Pakhtoon dynasty. Even till as late as the 1960's, there was a Hindko (non-Pashto) speaking community in abundance within the walled city, identifying as 'Peshawiris/Peshoris', rather than Pukhtoons. So I don't know how can one claim that that Pakhoons were in dominance in Peshawar during early 1800s. You're doing a great work on history, thanks for that, and keep it up.
Brother make video about Pashtun people history. Please ❤️where are they coming from ☺️ I love your videos
Thank you and I shall but not in the near future!
Of course the cities of Peshawar, Nowshera, and Kohat were majority Hindkowan while the rural areas were majority Pashtun before the partition.
this is only because of the sikh empire. you should be ashamed feeling proud for such an empire that massacred muslims.
@@user-dz4pb2ll3k I’m not proud of any massacres I hate genocides in general brother.
That being said it wasn’t the Sikhs who killed them rather the governor who had no remorse and he was Italian.
I do understand what you mean but they weren’t killed but more so lived in restrictions and so some escaped while yes I do agree they did change the demographics of the cities when the Sikhs and Hindus from Punjab moved there.
@@user-dz4pb2ll3kother than that take care brother and stay safe.
PEACE ✌️
1 fairly common mistake Peshawar is not subject to the Durand line treaty.
That treaty only covers the area of ex FATA.
General rule of thumb any area that went from Sikh empire to the British is not subject to the Durand treaty.
That's a great point. But it should be mentioned that from the Afghan perspective, when they refer to the Durand Line they most certainly include Peshawar and other areas that weren't necessarily included in the actual Durand Agreement, in their irredentist grievances. Does that make sense?
@@HikmaHistory Nooooo...... but ok....
There was no FATA then, Peshawar and everything East of durand line included, reteriated in treaty of rawalpindi 3 decades later
Road to 4000 👌🔥💥
Heyyy! Getting there
Thank you for another beautiful video. It's great to learn about a place I never knew about. We live in one world. Subscribed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Was watching this at midnight and The kebab at the end got me hungry lol
Fun fact
Peshawar, Nowshera, and Kohat were a mix of Hindkowans (Mostly Punjabi with some mixed Pashtun) and Pashtuns culture so basically these cities were a mixture of different cultures till recently.
And when India and Pakistan split up, most Hindkowans moved out of these cities to move to India while the Pashtuns from Fata moved to these cities.
The reason for this was because of the conquest of these lands by the Sikh Empire. Before Sikh Empire came and killed the local Muslims, these lands were Pashtuns but Sikhs came and changed the demographics by settling Hindkowan Sikhs and Hindus into these originally Pashtun lands.
@@user-dz4pb2ll3k kpk isn't original pashtun land it was originally inhabited by hindkowan punjabis and called gandhara the pashtuns migrated way after onto it
Majority hindkowan punjabis r muslims and these lands were originally inhabited by hindkowan punjabi muslims only a few moved to india Majority still live in hazara division
To clear it up really both Hindkowans and Pashtuns are inhabitants of KPK Especially the cities so yes I agree Hindkowans are original but Pashtuns did move there in 1,000 AD they are also it’s inhabitants
Hindkowan from India
Can you do a history on Gwador,its a port city in Pakistan which used to be owned by Oman but sold to Pakistan in the 1950s?
Interesting choice I never thought about!

@@rahulroy9310 Super fascinating tbh
Proud Pashtun of Pakistan ❤️😍
One of the Old name was Purushpura ie Town of men or man . Modern name 'Peshawar' was given by Sikh rulers.
'Peshawar' name is given by Akbar
Peshawar name was given by Mughals not by Sikhs. This shows that you have tiny knowledge of history.
3:25 Huns were not necessarily turks. They were central asian nomads. Historians are not sure if they were turks or any other race.
3:18
This tall building was struck by lightning 🌩, three times and destroyed 😳.

The history of central and southern Asia is perhaps the most fascinating of all regions. A constantly changing mix of people and influences. Crossroads of the world.

So which country would you say peshawar was part of first? Original? I was having a debate with a pashtun from pakistan who was trying to say how peshawar isnt afghan land? So why are so many pashtuns now on it? Did we move there or? I think you kind of explained it when you said it was part of the persian empire which is basically afghan
Peshawar was originally hindkowan land the natives r hindkowans pashtuns migrated onto it so how can it be afghan land when the pashtuns that reside there aren't even native to that land
@@TM_JATTMany Peshoris, Hazarewaals & Chhachis in Mumbai also
@@hr5581 chachis are pashtuns hazarawal ain't a ethnicity hindko is a dialect of panjabi
@@TM_JATT Even I agree Hindko is dailect of Punjabi, Even here in Mumbai we call ourselves Punjabi only, Many Chhachis are Hindko speaking also
Can you do history of punjabis also ?
Well you told nothing about Hindu Shahs they were the strongest in the subcontinent from the 8th century AD till the 11th century AD and defeated Arabs and Turks time to time even their greatest King Bhimpaldeva defeated Arabs till Nishapur Iran which was a proud movement for Afghans since many historians believe that he was a Pashtun king.
Since his letters are written in Bactrian the language of ancient Northern Afghanistan mainly Balkh and Kunduz it's believed Pashtuns came from Bactria.
Pashtuns were never Hindus.
@@user-dz4pb2ll3k Pashtuns were referred to as “Hindu” or closely related to them by Al Biruni. However the context of Hindu back them just meant any person living in the Indus region and didn’t have any religious meaning.
The bread basket of Pakhtunkhwa.
Although it’s a Punjabi city
@@Alakhana How?
@@bloodfiredrake7259 it was originally inhabited by hindkowan punjabis they r the natives of that land
@@TM_JATT Where did you get that from?
@@bloodfiredrake7259 Yes Peshawar kohat nowshera and division of hazara is still inhibited by hindkowans many many hindqos mixed and adopted pashtun culture that's why tribals afghans don't consider ppl of kpk are pure Pashtuns .
Even ppl of swat and waziristan migrated from modern day Pakistan .
Back then there were no Pashtuns in swat and wazirirstan
Should Peshawar be returned to Afghanistan or become independent or remain part of Pakistan?
Arguments can be made for all three options. In the end, I guess it'll come down to the geopolitics of the region.
That's a stupid question, it's like saying Texas and California should be part of Mexico. It's never gonna happen, not even to mention how majority of the population over there want to remain in Pakistan.
How would Peshawar joining Afghanistan be called “returned”? Afghans only ruled Peshawar for less than 80 years 300 years ago plus native ethnic group of Peshawar are Hindkowans/Punjabi’s not Pashtuns/Afghans. Even Lahore was at one point occupied by Afghans so it makes no sense for Afghans to claim Peshawar.
Why should it return to afghandustan when the natives of that land r hindkowan punjabis it should remain a part of pakistan as pakistan is a punjabi majority country
@@Alakhana cuz vast majority of Peshawar are Afghans.
Peshori from 🇮🇳
You Telling Me The White Huns Aren't Even Real Huns?
Ya because their commander Mihirakula was a Shaivite a Hindu.
@@animeguy7037 you hindus always want to claim anything. mihirakula was not hindu and neither were the huns.
Depends on what you define as a Hun, if your referring to Attila and much off his Mongol and Uralic people’s then no but if you’re referring to The Xionites who were called “Hunna” in South Asia then yes.
Majority of the population at the time of the Sikh empire was hindkowaan and even to this day most of the population is hindkowaan
Peshawar is Pashtun city.
@@user-dz4pb2ll3k it has bever been historically pashtun or in the present day
@@zink4625 it has always been a pashtun city. what is hindkowan? there is no such ethnicity called hindkowan. these so called hindkowans are punjabi settlers who want to lay claim to Peshawar.
@@user-dz4pb2ll3k 🤣🤣 mate first large-scale pashtun migration to peshawar was in 16th century even mahmud of ghazni talked about how the people who lived in peshawar spoke hindko from whom the modern day ppl we know r hindkowaan
@@user-dz4pb2ll3k peshawar is a hindkowan city
Based on your logic many parts of Afghanistan should be distributed among its neighbors e.g. Persian regions of Afghanistan should be given to Iran, Tajiks & Uzbeks should be given to Tajikistan & Uzbekistan who are older countries than Afghanistan. Also Peshawar existed long before Afghanistan came into being. Moreover people of Peshawar democratically voted to join Pakistan in a referendum against the wishes of Gandhi & Bacha khan. Bacha khan is a traitor even today for Pashtuns of Pakistan. Mind it there are more Pashtuns in Pakistan than Afghanistan
Marathas also occupied Peshawar briefly.
You didnt mention some parts of it , according to some Historian the name of Peshawar come from Shapur The Sassanid Shah, also White Huns were not Turkic , there is no clear Evidence about it and at last Sultan Mahamoud Ghaznavi or Zaboli , yeah he Was Turkish but he used idealogy of Sassanids and Iranshahr
So what were the White Huns?
@@HikmaHistory White Huns/Xionites/Hunna were Eastern Iranic people. Many of them were descendants of the Yuezhi who had settled in Kangju kingdom in Sogdia.
Not Pekhawar but Peshor!
Bro it's wrong pashtuns have been there sice the existence of the city pashtuns never brought islam to the region pls educate yourself
Brother, before your making videos great, but after watching this I have some negative about you sorry to say, please being a realistic historian and a real journalist, I have to advise you to try to keen and head your research more wide, more broadway and don't show your own opinion and own concerns and interest because maybe you know it says: the difference between a journalist, an athur and a historian is a journalist represent the comments of public, the author his own and a true historian only keen to the fact and factuality, please think on my opionion, you need more practice, more research more study wildly, broadway read of all sides, all politic all race all openions, peshawar so far from what you showed here, more study you need brother please, don't offense thanks
Ur description is correct, voice is great but u must improve the visuals..
Start from dravadians... Than caucasian aryans vs dravadians.. indus valley civilization.. later on
iranians vs turanians than mighty persians achaemanid empire and its satrap, greeks alexander the great, indo greeks, scythian saka, parthians, kushans, huns, hepthalites.. .. turks o mongol, arabs, anglo sac son.. Peshawar the khyber pass and others were and are gateways into northern india from central asia...
Great work though..
Thanks man. I like to think my visuals have improved since 2020
Maratha capture Peshawar in 1758
Yes for then a year and end up losing 3rd battle of pani path

I genuinely think peshawar belongs to afghanistan. The people of peshawar resemble more the people of afghanistan and nothing like the other regions of pakistan. Let alone the pashtu language which is the main language of afghanistan. But pakistan has held claim to this land for so many generations that the current people identify and are embeded in pakistans culture.
You do know that historically peshawar was never inhabitated by a majority of pashtuns right? It is only jn receny times that pashtyns from the country side moved in. Pakistan is a multi ethnic county just like Afghanistan. Afghanistan litteraly refers to ethnic afghans but yku have baloch tajiks uzbeks etc. As far a resemblence goes. Kashmir from Gilgit baltistan look the as (maybe even more caucasian) tgan the pashtuns. And lastly pashtuns chose in a referendum to side with Pakistan in 1947. I get your point but even if we look from a pashtun perspective. Pashtuns have economically and poltucally achieved more in Pakistan than Afghanistan and 70% of all pashtuns live in Pakistan.
@@biryaniboy3378 yes pakistan does have a mix of ethnicities but that is due to pakistan being formed in 1947 from various lands of afghanistan and india. Whether peshawar has done well under pakistan is irrelevent to the argument. I think upon reading the land was lost by afghans in a war which is quite recent in historical terms. Majority of taliban come from the peshawar region and being protected by the pakistani goverment is an incentive for the people there.
@@user-gp5qt3ms5q lmao they usually use the oh they done well card , its about the origins of a country and it was part of the persian empire pashtun land
Peshawar was apart of Punjab until 1901 and to this day most Peshawaris are Hindkowans/Punjabi’s. You have no claim to Peshawar just because Afghans ruled it for less than 80 years 300 years ago. Focus on developing your own country before trying to look at other lands to invade.
Peshawar Is hindkowan land that pashtuns migrated onto the natives of that land r hindkowan punjabis u afghans or pashtuns have mo right on that land yall originate from bani israel 🇮🇱
