Arabic poetry , our past history and Khusdar
Arabs started their campigns to our lands in late 6th or early 7th centuries and according to traditions those lashkars had poets, intelectuals and travellers along with armed people. like Mahabhart, or Shahnamas, in those days history was recorded in poetry so lot of Arab poets recorded that entries, traditions of new lands, religion, culture etc. Some lashkars came from sea via persian gulf , some cam from Debal Gulf ( here was the famous sea port near thatta named Lhori Bandar or Lhori Dahro in local languge as resembling with Mohanjo-dharo) while some lashkars used land routes after conquering Khurasan. Arabic author in his historic account of 10th century recorded too many poets who did poetry and preserved those days. In one of veerses a poet even recorded grapes of Khusdar too. In this campaigns they covered areas present these days in Pakistan which includes Baluchistan, Sindh, Kyber PK & the Punjab yet till today , in pride or prejudice, our historian did not pay any attention on this resource. read the piece and enjoy
