Reading the Language of Stones: Z.S.Ghuri & Forgotten History of the Punjab


Reading the Language of Stones

 Z.S.Ghuri & Forgotten History of the Punjab


Zubair Shafi ghuri is name of the passion, courage and patience. No doubt a lovely soul , does not look like a bureaucrat. He is currently in Pakistan Railways but his passion for archeology is his identity. I have a long association with Ghuri which started from his book "Ucch Sharief" in late 1990s. His another book is about pre harappan settlements  around the river Ravi which remind us about the ancient land in which we are living. He give us introduction of 12 pre harappan settlements in that wonderful work. His work regarding Indus valley is directly related to the history and culture of the Punjab for sure.














I am not introducing Ghuri any more so that u better read his profile published in the Express daily, Today. Just click here and read urself....
