Peshawar, bazar scene, 1919.

Unfortunately now in Peshawar mismanagement is at its peak. People are crowded into a very confined area and the traffic and congestion problems are extreme. It has not been developed at par with Lahore or Rawalpindi or even Karachi.

Grave of Sultan Ibrahim Lodi Shaheed in Panipat (Hariyana, India). He was the first Sultan of India to die fighting in a battlefield. Sher Shah Sur, the admirer of the martyred Sultan, had a wish to build a grand mausoleum over the grave of Ibrahim Lodi , which could not be accomplished due to untimely death of the former.

Ibrahim Lodi was intelligent and able and was inspired by a sound principle of introducing an efficient administration in the kingdom. He felt that the kingdom neither could be made stable or be efficiently governed , if the Afghan chiefs were allowed to have unchecked power. The ideas of Ibrahim Lodi naturally brought him into conflict with the ideas of the chiefs, who would not readily consent to part with their power and privileges. His ideas made him their bitter enemies. Ibrahim Lodi, however, was not daunted ; he proceeded boldly to crush the opposition. He nearly succeeded. The defeated and humiliated chiefs, on the other hand , in their rage, forgot their common interests as Afghans and, by inviting Babur to India , they caused the destruction of the Afghan monarchy at the battle of Panipat in 1526

No they are not. Afghan descent from Bani Israel is just a legendary history not borne out by facts
