2008-09-13 05:34:00 The bustling city of Rawalpindi has a lot more to offer than a traffic mess, broken roads and haze-filled atmosphere. The city?s history spreads over several millennia. Archaeologists believe that a distinct culture flourished on this plateau even 3,000 years ago.The archaeological remains found here prove the existence of a Buddhist community contemporary to Taxila, but less celebrated than its neighbour.Historians believe that the ancient city fell victim to the devastation caused by the Huns. The first Muslim invader, Mahmud of Ghazni (979-1030AD), gifted the ruined city to a Gakkhar chief, Kai Gohar. The Gakkhars were a fiercly independent tribe of the Potowar Plateau. The town, however, being in the route of invaders, could not prosper and remained deserted until Jhanda Khan, another Gakkhar chief, restored it and named it Rawalpindi after the village Rawal in 1493.Rawalpindi remained under the rule of the Gakkhars till Muqarrab Khan, the last Gakkhar ruler, was defeated by the...

Her security people complained that the official protection was inadequate.A couple of days before her assassination this courageous woman, spoke out to condemn Musharraf for blocking democratic reform and being soft on extremism.
